Graphic printing and distribution services are when you incorporate printing whether it be digital or offset with the ability to distribute or ship to multiple locations.

The locations can be local, regional, national or international. Many times these services are used for a Corporate customer that has multiple stores or offices that they need to distribute product. The product may be produced all by one company or may have multiple vendors that ship to this distribution company who then kits and ships for the end customer.

These services have been automated to where they can be available 24/7/365 days a year and have the ability to track shipments, limit orders and be enterprise wide available. Here is an example of such a site: Print One demo site

Many times inventory control is also used so product is available and ready for immediate shipment.
