Priority Printing — Dundalk

Priority Printing serves Dundalk and the area around it from its premises on Bridge Street in Townparks. The business has a physical base, so you can call in there as well as get in touch by phone or online. Ask whether it can deliver to addresses outside the town before you place an order.

Fees for graphic design are usually charged by the hour or as a set price for a project, and the Graphic Designer price guide gives typical prices in Ireland. The main factors are how many drafts and changes are included and whether you work with a freelancer or an agency. Print work can be priced differently from digital.

Graphic design is not licensed in the way some trades are, so there is no official register to check. Ask about training, professional experience and the kinds of projects the business has handled. A portfolio of past work is the most direct way to judge the quality of design you will receive.

A first consultation usually covers what the job is for, who it is aimed at, the deadline and the budget you have in mind. You can ask what the designer needs from you, how many rounds of changes are included and when you will see a first proof. Ask too whether the consultation is free or charged, so you know what to expect before you commit.

Priority Printing has a Google rating of 4.5 from 24 reviews, and you can read them on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=10627857320692566254. When you read them, look for comments about turnaround, how changes and proofs were handled and whether the finished work matched what was agreed.

Bring a clear brief covering what you need made, the size, the quantity and the deadline. Include your logo, brand colours, fonts and any text, plus examples of designs you like or dislike. Having files ready in common formats, and knowing where the work will be used, helps the designer quote accurately.

You can ask for a quote by phone, through the company's website, or through its Locufy page. When you get in touch, describe the job, the size and number of copies or pieces, the deadline and where the design will be used. Sending any files or photos you already have will help get a clear and accurate quote.
