Business Challenge
in Document Design
Our primary mission is to deliver the highest level of value to each and every customer. A key part of this philosophy is our SmartSizing document design strategy. Read below to find out more about how, with SmartSizing, large, inefficient documents become sleek, energy saving, and more useful - using standard office software!
Overview
SmartSizing
A cornerstone of our philosophy is "SmartSizing". An approach to document design that rests on intelligent size reduction (implementation doesn't increase page count) to deliver tangible economic benefit. Today, more than ever, it is relevant. Compared to typical 8.5" x 11" documents, SmartSizing delivers double-digit returns.
Key Objectives
of SmartSizing
"SmartSized" documents incorporate the following philosophies:
- Ease of Document Preparation (use existing office software)
- Conservation of Resources (reduce raw materials use)
- Cost Minimization/Value Maximization
- Minimized Holding & Transport Costs (reduced size/weight)
Benefits
