Our Products

They are also fun and creative. Advertising specialties like coffee mugs, pens, keychains, and bottle openers can be used in all manner of clever ways. Incorporating a memorable slogan, or something funny, can make your promotional gift a real keeper. As I write these words, I’m using a coffee mug I received from a towing company 12 years ago. The picture of a sick car makes me laugh.

You can use specialty items as handouts at trade shows and conventions, include them in direct mail campaigns, offer them as holiday presents, door prizes, special-event giveaways, and thank–yous. You can even distribute them to your staff to show your appreciation for their hard work. The possibilities are endless, and we’ve got all kinds of advertising specialties, along with some winning ideas, too. Contact us for more information.

An announcement sets the stage for your event. Since it’s the first contact anyone has with your event, the announcement will paint a mental picture. If it’s poorly done or deemed “cheap”, it’s going to temper expectations; if it’s high quality and classy, recipients will look forward to attending. We have a wide range of announcement options for any occasion – corporate/professional, formal, low-key (yet still classy), and everything in between. We’ll get your message out on-time and within budget.

There are plenty of other options as well, such as pre-addressed (and even prepaid) return envelopes and RSVP cards. And if you need us to handle mailing, or want a creative idea or three, just ask. We have designers and writers, ready to assist, as well as every kind of look you can imagine. Contact us for more information.

When it comes to foot traffic or vehicles driving by, the best way to stand out is to have a really nice banner or sign. Whether it’s a permanent sign or a banner announcing a sale or special event, IPM Lithographics offers San Diego businesses signs and banners that communicate their message clearly and beautifully, in full color. From one-time use to high quality vinyl, complete with grommets and tapered edges that can be used year after year, we have what you are looking for.

Whether it’s a sponsorship, upcoming event, special sale, or exciting new product, we have every option you can imagine – huge horizontal banners, vertical signs / flags, free-standing displays, and much more. You dream it, and we’ll do it. Contact us for more information.

Office copier broken again? How about getting rid of it altogether and let us handle your black and white copying? No more paper jams, endless “we need more toner”, mis-fed sheets, and costly repairs. We’re ready to handle it on-demand, with commercial-grade copying equipment that provides crisp, clean images and perfect reproductions at a surprisingly affordable cost. Plus, at more than 100 copies per minute, we can handle even the largest copy jobs quickly and professionally.

Our staff has the skills, training, and expertise to make sure your copy jobs always come out right — whether you need 100 simple handouts copied for distribution; 1,000 two-sided sheets copied and folded; or 10,000 multi-page documents copied, collated, and bound. You can even upload your file to us, and we’ll call you when it’s ready. Easy-Peasy! Contact us for more information.

You know that “employee handbook” you have that consists of papers staples together? Trust us, the information would be absorbed much more effectively if it was a “real” booklet. This goes for a million other things – catalogs, price lists, quarterly reports, process instructions, recipes, an important proposal, or just about anything else.

Whatever you are thinking of, if you want it in “booklet” form, we can print, bind, put a cover on it, and make it look like a million bucks. All for a surprisingly affordable price. There are even options like full color, glossy paper, Wire-O or spiral binding, and much more. Like we say all the time – you dream it, and we’ll create it. San Diego has its own book printer, and we’re ready to work for you. Contact us for more information.

Well-designed brochures get your message out to customers quickly and concisely. The most common type (tri-fold) are small enough to slip in a pocket or an envelope, and they pack a real punch, particularly if they are well-designed (there’s a trick to this – you want your brochure to look good, and keep interest across multiple pages and folds).

The best part about brochures is their “cost versus impact”. They can be quite cost-effective, but can allow for several different areas of information – front cover for a message and nice picture, back for contact information and even a map, first-fold for your lead-off message, interior for something big… the possibilities are endless. And yes, brochures can also be a fold-over booklet, or something else. Let us know what you are thinking, and we’ll make it a reality. Contact us for more information.

Every businessperson has a business card. It’s one of the first things you get, in fact. But there’s a big difference in business cards. Mainly, the quality of your card says a LOT about your company, your competence, and similar. Put simply, a cheap card, on cheap paper, says “we put the absolute minimum amount of effort into this”. Think about how you view business cards – there are two types: the type that are just “there”, and the type that makes you say “nice card” (even if it’s simple black and white). You want to be in the latter group.

The best part is, it doesn’t cost a lot to make a nice impression. We’ve got all kinds of attention-getting paper stocks and features. From full color glossy to fold-over cards to tear-offs, we’ve got cards that can not only make you memorable, but also be a sales tool (great for sales professionals of every flavor.) Contact us for more information.

Calendar printing is a powerful way to make sure your San Diego business or brand is seen by dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people – daily, weekly, monthly… all year long. The best part is you can get really creative in their use. Besides having some great graphics that ensure your calendar gets used, you can even incorporate special sales and/or promotions into the dates. Yes, Memorial Day needs to be there, but so does your annual sale. Or information regarding your industry – for example, if you are an Auto Parts Store, having fun facts regarding cars and transportation on certain dates makes your calendar really stand out. Or every month have a fun fact (for example, teach people what the road numbers mean in the interstate highway system). The possibilities are endless, and as your San Diego Printer, we can print them all. Contact us for more information.

For quotes, invoices, receipts, or similar, carbonless forms are the way to go. Write it once, and produce multiple copies, all color-coded and ready to distribute to the various parties that need them (e.g., “original goes to customer, yellow to accounting, Debbie gets the pink copy, etc.”) Having really nice Carbonless forms, with your company name already printed, along with your logo and any terms and conditions (and maybe even your tagline), goes a long way in making the transaction feel complete. It also helps your overall image – only a successful company would care enough about having nice Carbonless Forms. Plus, having good contact information on a paper your customer will keep never hurts.

We can handle carbonless forms in 2,3,4, or even more copies. Multiple colors, consecutively numbered, punched holes, glued edges, bold graphics, etc. – these are all options. Contact us for more information.

There isn’t too much we can say about printed checks that aren’t already abundantly clear. There’s some space for company information, a nice logo, and you can have all manner of graphics. So we’ll instead talk about the psychology of having really nice printed checks. When a company is struggling, the bare minimum suffices for checks. But when a company is successful, the checks get nicer – custom logos, embossed, nice picture / theme, etc. In other words, the company is so successful that even their checks project an image. It’s subtle, but very important in the overall picture.

Bottom line: we print exceptional checks that are worthy of your business. And we can do it faster and better than your bank. Talk to us about the shapes, styles, and options (3-to-a-page ledger for convenience, etc.), and we’ll make your vision come to life. Contact us for more information.

We specialize in not only handling professional offset printing, we also do the smaller things, like short-run color copies. We invested in a high-quality, high-speed color copier so you don’t have to, and it’s the perfect way to get 500 or fewer full-color copies. And, of course, we have all the popular paper options in stock – plain, heavy, glossy, etc. (glossy really makes things pop!) We’re also ready to get your job done fast – most projects can be ready in an hour. If you want, you can upload your file, and we’ll let you know when it’s finished (how’s that for convenient?) Or you can come in and chat while the copier is humming – either way, you’ll get you your color copies fast and right. Contact us for more information.

When it comes to custom printing, we act more as a true partner than anything else. This is because we’ll take the time to sit with you and really work out what it is you are envisioning. Want a handout (or maybe business cards) in the shape of a fish? We can do that. A brochure with a little cut-out window? No problem. A full color banner that’s 50’ long? Done.

Our printing capabilities are almost limitless, as is our creative imagination. We can work with you to help shape an idea into something truly special, and then bring the project to fruition. So whatever your ideas are for your San Diego business, printing shouldn’t be an issue with IPM Lithographics on your side. Contact us for more information.

Because door hangers must be removed from the doorknob, they are likely to be read and make an impression that lasts beyond a simple glance. This is why A) You want to use them, and B) You want whatever your message is to be relevant. With some good copy and a nice offer, you can turn your door-hanger campaign into a conversion machine.

We can print all manner of door hangers in a variety of materials. Add a tear-away coupon / business card to the bottom for even more impact. And because your prospect actually touched it, this is a great way to test “bring this ad in…” campaigns. Contact us for more information.

Employment forms, from your employment application to a welcome packet including benefits, company policies, and similar, do not have to be drab and devoid of life. We can make you clear, attractive employment forms and similar that will show potential employees that you mean business. We typically recommend heavyweight 80lb. matte paper – this gives your employment forms real weight and substance. We can even package multiple forms up into an attractive folder, further enhancing your image as the place to work. Want more? How about making certain forms carbonless copies, giving multiple departments multiple records? Contact us for more information.

Despite all of the e-hype, envelopes are still used today. And a really nice printed envelope goes a long way in making a great first impression, and also increased brand recognition. There are many, many envelope choices, ranging from sizes, windowed, colored envelopes, 8 ½ x 11 envelopes for catalogs and contracts, tinted security envelopes, and many, many more. And your printing options are numerous as well – of course you want your return address printed, but what about the bottom or perhaps the back? A nice saying or your tagline add a touch of panache. And in the case of direct mail/marketing, we can advise you on postal regulations (we know them all), so there is no expensive surprise come mailing time. Contact us for more information.

Get your messages out to the masses. Flyers are a cost-effective way to cover a large area without breaking the bank. Hand them out at events or on street corners. Leave them in public places or deliver them to doorsteps. Flyers are a powerful sales tool that are, quite literally, easy to grasp. And we can help you make great ones. If you need design help, we’re available, but if you have a design in mind and just need high quality printing, we’re ready. Options like glossy coating or extra-large paper (folded flyers really have a lot of marketing real estate) are available as well. Contact us for more information.

Personalized notecards / folded cards allow you to send invitations, introductions, expressions of thanks, and other correspondence to prospects, peers, and customers. Create excitement about an event, promote a corporate outing or meeting, advertise a seminar, or design original greeting cards to add that personal feel (and a touch of class) to your business correspondence. We can provide exceptional printed folded cards in a variety of styles, sizes, colors, and paper stocks. Create a funny card that also promotes a new product; send your customers a greeting card “just because” (or invent your own holiday); or for a million other fun reasons. No matter how you use them, we’re here to help. Contact us for more information.

“Real quick, turn to the chapter on product add-ons” said the sales manager to his charges. Then he waited as the five salespeople fumbled their way to the place he wanted them. One even ripped his book. Right then and there, the sales manager understood that tabs would not only make this task easier, but adding index tabs to the company catalog would make it easier for customers as well.

This goes for any printed product of multiple pages – adding index tabs not only looks great, but makes your information easier to find. And easier is always better (ask your salespeople). We have an array of index tabs options that will make your printed projects really shine. From Mylar to Poly to multiple colors, we’ll handle everything. Contact us for more information.

Product labels are among the most important communication tools between your company and potential customers. They also provide an assortment of creative ways to market your message. Place your brand on paper, glass, fabric, stone, and everything in-between (just don’t get arrested for defacing anything, ok? Let’s keep San Diego beautiful!)

And labels aren't just for products - consider custom labels for return addresses, warnings, or a quick way to tag specials and sales – anything really. We can even make static cling labels, so there’s no fuss when removing them. Or even use vinyl, which lasts for years. Regardless of your needs, we have a label with your name on it! Contact us for more information.

A well-designed letterhead shows customers they're dealing with an organization with an attention to detail. And a poorly designed or outdated letterhead can have the opposite effect. In simple terms, your letterhead creates a feeling of competency, professionalism, and fosters trust. It’s subliminal, but it’s very real.

We can help you create a simple black-and-white letterhead for faxes, while reserving more colorful ones for sales letters and business correspondence. And for a corporate tone, we can create you a rock-solid professional letterhead worthy of a Wall Street Law Firm. Choose from a variety of professional paper stocks to give your paper correspondence that final elegant touch. Contact us for more information.

Memo pads are awesome marketing. With your name/logo, and perhaps a brief slogan or inspirational message, they sit waiting to be used, day after day after day. The cool part is, nobody ever throws away memo pads. They may throw away a keychain or a bottle opener, but a memo pad? That will eventually be used.

You can give them away to customers at your next meeting, trade show, or marketing event, and have your message reinforced over and over again. With personalized memo and notepads, your company will be the first thing customers see when they reach for a piece of paper. We have plenty of sizes and options, just waiting for you. Contact us for more information.

Newsletters can be used in a variety of ways. They can be used to keep in touch with your customer list. You send an interesting newsletter, and invariably, you’ll get a few “you know, I was thinking about , and your newsletter arrived” calls. It never fails. Send-ring-sell.

The other way newsletters can be really effective is internally. A company newsletter keeps everyone aware of goings-on, and also improves morale. You can also encourage customers to "archive" your newsletters…and keep your message in front of them long after others have faded from memory (we can do a three-hole punch for this). If you have an idea for a newsletter, we’ll make it come to life. Contact us for more information.

Look professional and prepared with presentation folders that complement your promotional materials. Whether you use them for conference handouts, product literature, business proposals, or press kits, presentation folders are an excellent way to bolster your brand while keeping important information tight and tidy for your team members or clients.

We can handle all of the little extras, like die-cut business card slots which make it easy to provide your customers with your contact information, full color gloss, and an eye-catching graphic on the front. Yes, what it’s holding counts the most, but a winning pocket folder says “pay attention to what’s inside”. Contact us for more information.

Whether you are using them as straight direct mail promotional pieces, handing them out in person at the trade show, announcing a product, using them as contest box stuffers, or anything else, postcards rock. The trick is to look great – if your postcard is appealing to the eye, it’ll be read. IPM Lithographics can create postcards of all sizes and colors, ensuring what you have in mind can be a reality. We also know all of the mailing rules in and around San Diego, so we can help you with postage and mailing as well. Contact us for more information.

Posters kick butt, plain and simple. They command attention, and get across your message in a big way. Whether they are drawn art, photographs, or a combination of both, a bold, full-color poster is impossible to ignore. The next time you go the movies, check out the movie posters. Yea, it’s like that.

Plus, if your poster is creative enough, it could have a shelf-life well-beyond your event. Think of a company promoting a new location opening, and having a band play the event. The band signs a few of the posters, and they are auctioned off as door prizes. That kind of brand recognition and reinforcement cannot be beat. We’ll be happy to help you come up with just the right poster for your next event or promotion. Contact us for more information.

Give your trade show, conference, exhibit, sporting event, forum, or symposium the professional look it deserves with high-quality program printing. A well-designed program increases interest, provides valuable information, and makes a great souvenir... keeping your message in the eyes of potential customers for years to come. There are a lot of great opportunities for events in San Diego; printing up some programs is a logical (and effective) marketing tool. For more impact, consider full-color printing on glossy paper to make images explode from the page, and/or add a water-resistant aqueous coating to increase your program’s durability and longevity. Contact us for more information.

Typically, rack cards are used in the tourism, hospitality, or restaurant business – however, you can use them anywhere customers are – the checkout register, your company reception desk, your trade show booth, or even with another business on a marketing exchange agreement. The bottom line is, done right, Rack Cards are very effective. Add in the bonus of them being entirely self-service, and you have a situation where only warm prospects take them. For added punch, consider adding your business card printed right on it, or a coupon to the rack card with an easy tear-away perforation. These can even be mailed with other marketing if you wish. Oh, and yes, we have multiple display racks too. Contact us for more information.

Professionals count on IPM Lithographics to print high-quality reports. Whether it’s an executive needing multiple copies of a report printed to present to the company, or the company needs them to present to customers / shareholders, or other interested parties, the result is the same: we’ll add that professional shine to any report. Glossy paper, awesome, eye-popping graphics and charts, and (if needed) professional layout and design – we handle the whole ball of wax. Your report can even be spiral-bound, with a cover and index tabs, making it stand out even further (and, of course, lay flat on the desk as readers follow along.) Contact us for more information.

Even in today’s digital world, rubber stamps still have a million and one uses. Need a quick way to add your signature to a document? We can create a custom rubber stamp of your signature to simplify the signing process. How about contact information? Return address information? A company slogan? Or even something personal for non-business correspondence? The uses and ideas are endless (oh, how about a favorite saying as a great executive gift?) Best of all, modern rubber stamps can be self-inking, meaning you don’t need to constantly use the ink pad. Give us your ideas, and let us create a rubber stamp to your exact specifications. Contact us for more information.

Over 70% of sales are made in the weeks following an exhibition or trade show. So it’s imperative that you send your customers home with the information they'll need to make a decision. That’s where Sell Sheets come in. Giving prospects a high-quality, well-crafted sell sheet with photographs, pricing, specs, benefits, and a compelling call to action will help seal the deal. We can help you create a professional sell sheet, complete with two-sided color printing, photos, benefits, and more. Add glossy paper and a three-hole punch to make them last even longer. Contact us for more information.

Table tents are more brand awareness and direct product marketing than anything else. They take up almost no space, and they stay there, making one table tent capable of thousands of impressions. But you have to make them look great, with nice colors, high-quality photographs, heavy card stock, and crisp, clear printing. San Diego has a printer that can do exactly that – IPM Lithographics. We can print you highly effective (yet unobtrusive) table tents that will get the job done, whether you are announcing something specific, or simply using them for general brand recognition. Contact us for more information.
