Reduce Holiday Season Stress with Smart Print Automation

For printing companies, the end of the year isn’t a time for reflection — it’s a time to run at full capacity.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s… the holiday season brings a wave of seasonal print work. At the same time, deadlines get tighter, production runs at full speed, and there’s no room for errors or delays. Sounds familiar?

Luckily, there’s a way to keep the workload under control. With smart automation in your print processes, you can stay calm and in control — even when the orders keep pouring in.

Why December Is the Peak Month for Print Service Providers

The end-of-year season brings a massive surge in print orders. Think of:

  • Gifts and Packaging

    The demand for personalised gifts, premium sleeves, gift cards, and festive packaging skyrockets during this period.

  • Greeting Cards and Christmas Mailings

    From traditional Christmas cards to highly personalised direct mail campaigns using variable data printing.

  • Christmas Magazines and Year-End Brochures

    Seasonal magazines, year-end folders, lookbooks, and promotional booklets — all produced in tight December timelines.

  • POS Materials and Promotional Items

    Promotional posters, displays, window stickers, table tents, Christmas menus — everything needs to be printed and installed before Christmas.

  • Corporate Communication

    Customer Christmas cards, invitations for holiday events, and branded business gifts all peak in demand during this period.

Where Does the Stress Come From?

For print service providers and print managers, December is like competing at the highest level. You need to pull out all the stops to keep customers happy, while tasks pile up at the same time:

  • Creating quotes for dozens of Christmas cards, packaging jobs and promotional materials — often customised and last-minute.
  • Processing orders manually, increasing the risk of errors and delayed deliveries.
  • Managing an overflowing inbox full of request forms, change requests and approvals.
  • Juggling unclear communication between colleagues and clients — no one has a complete overview anymore.
  • Fewer team members available due to holidays or peak workloads at the client side.
  • Outdated tools or systems with no integrations to accounting or administrative platforms.

The result?
Lost time, rising stress levels and a higher risk of mistakes — exactly what you don’t want during the busiest season of the year.
