uDesignIt!: A Fast Return on Investment

Even a few orders each month can make a meaningful difference in the time your team spends preparing personalized print jobs. Using business cards as an example, four uDesignIt! orders per month could free up one hour of staff time worth $70 at your design rate.

How the Time Savings Add Up

For this example, assume:

• Your design rate is $100 per hour.
• A business card order normally requires 20 minutes for typesetting, proofing with the print buyer, and handling revisions.
• With uDesignIt!, the print buyer enters their information and approves the proof online. Your team receives a production-ready PDF, reducing preparation time to 5 minutes.

That saves 15 minutes per order.

15 minutes saved × 4 orders = 1 hour saved per month

1 hour × $100 design rate = $100 in potential billable capacity

What That Means for Your Printshop

Instead of spending that hour on typesetting and proofing, your team can use it for other design or prepress work. If that time is used for billable projects, it could generate an additional $100 in monthly revenue. More uDesignIt! orders can increase that opportunity.

Whether four orders cover your subscription cost depends on your actual time savings, billing rate, and subscription price. This example shows how even a small number of orders can help offset the cost while simplifying the ordering process for your print buyers.
