Common Questions
What does Black Tie actually do?
Why not contact a printer directly?
You certainly can. The challenge is knowing whether that printer’s equipment, workload,
specialty and pricing are a good fit for your specific project. Black Tie begins with that
knowledge already in place.
How does Black Tie make money?
We purchase printing at broker or trade pricing and add a margin that covers our sales, sourcing,
coordination and project-management services.
Who handles the project?
Black Tie is normally your main point of contact. When a highly technical discussion is better
handled directly with the production vendor, we bring the appropriate people together.
Do you use only local printers?
No. We work with domestic and international sources, depending on the project’s specifications,
budget, deadline, shipping requirements and production needs.
