Because of our specialization, Japan Print knows the best example of this is the business card. During a meeting or event, handing out your business card marks the beginning of a business relationship. That being said, connecting online afterward helps ensure the relationship is maintained. Online brand presence creates synchronicity in professional connections despite physical hurdles such as long-distance and mismatch schedules.

Beyond the business card, other print materials such as brochures, flyers, and postcards are very useful for both established and developing companies. Brochures and flyers offer a practical and concise way for brands to communicate important information to customers. Meanwhile, customized postcards are great to send a greeting or thank you note while keeping visual consistency in the brand. Postcard printing requires certain techniques for an optimal product, which is something we offer to our customers as a professional printer located in Manhattan.
