Ngena kunoma yisiphi isitolo sokudla saseMpumalanga Ephakathi, isitolo sokudla okumnandi eLondon, noma imakethe ekhethekile eCalifornia. Bheka isigaba sezinsuku. Ubonani ngempela? Imigqa nemigqa yamabhokisi acishe afane. Ukuthayipha kwegolide. Isithombe sezihlahla zesundu. Mhlawumbe inyanga ecwebezelayo. Akukho okugqamile. Akukho okukubambayo.
Manje cabanga ngebhokisi lakho kuleyo ndlela efanayo. Imibala ngokuqinisekile ingeyakho. Ilogo yakho icacile futhi igqamile. Umklamo ulandisa indaba engekho omunye umuntu oyilandisayo. Umthengi uyayithatha, ayiphendule, amamatheke, bese eyibeka enqoleni yakhe. Yilokho okwenziwa amabhokisi ezinsuku aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso. Aguqula impahla ibe uphawu.
Ngisebenza ekupakisheni ukudla, futhi ngizokhuluma iqiniso nawe—amadethi angomunye waleyo mikhiqizo lapho ukupakisha kwenza umehluko omkhulu. Isithelo sihle, kodwa isigaba sigcwele ukupakisha okuvamile okungamenzi lutho umkhiqizi. Uma wenza umzamo wangempela ekukhuliseni noma ekutholeni amadethi amahle kakhulu, ibhokisi lakho kufanele lisebenze kanzima njengawe. Ake ngikubonise ukuthi ngisho ukuthini.
Ngikhulumile nabakhiqizi abaningi abangochwepheshe, futhi ukukhungatheka kuhlale kufana. Bathenga amabhokisi esitoko ngoba kulula. Akukho zinkinga zokuklama. Akukho zindleko zokusetha. Vele ukhethe ithempulethi, engeza isitika esinelogo yakho, bese uqedile. Kodwa nakhu okwenzekayo ngempela.
Ibhokisi lakho libukeka lifana nezinye izinhlobo ezintathu eshalofini elifanayo. Ikhasimende lithatha elilodwa ngokungahleliwe. Mhlawumbe ngelakho, mhlawumbe ngelomncintiswano wakho. Usuzidelile noma yikuphi ukulawula leso sinqumo. Okubi nakakhulu, amabhokisi esitoko avame ukungalingani kahle nezinsuku zakho ezithile. Izinsuku ze-Medjool zikhulu. Izinsuku ze-Ajwa zincane futhi zimnyama. Ibhokisi elijwayelekile alifanelani kahle. Izinsuku ziyashelela, zonakale, noma zibukeke zingahlelekile lapho ikhasimende livula isivalo.
Amabhokisi ezinsuku aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso alungisa konke lokhu ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ubukhulu buhambisana kahle nomkhiqizo wakho. Ukuphrinta kubonisa ubuwena bomkhiqizo wakho wangempela, hhayi ithempulethi ejwayelekile eyaklanywa eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. Yonke indawo—ngaphambili, ngemuva, ezinhlangothini, ngaphakathi kwesivalo—ingokwakho ukuyisebenzisa. Beka indaba yakho lapho. Beka iziphakamiso zokukhonza. Beka ikhodi ye-QR kuvidiyo yepulazi lakho. Ngokungazelelwe awugcini nje ngokuthengisa izinsuku. Uthengisa ulwazi.
Okunye okungekho muntu okukutshelayo ngamabhokisi esitoko: adlulisela "umkhiqizo wesabelomali" kubathengi. Angaphansi kokuqonda kodwa anamandla. Ibhokisi elenziwe ngokwezifiso elinezimpawu zomklamo ezicatshangelwe kahle ikhwalithi nokunakekelwa. Abathengi bayakuthola lokho ngokushesha, futhi bazokhokha okwengeziwe ngenxa yalokho.
Abantu abaningi bezwa "okuphrintiwe ngokwezifiso" bese becabanga ukuthi kusho nje ukushaya uphawu ngaphambili. Lokho kumane nje kuwukuklwebha indawo. Uma usebenza nomhlinzeki ochwepheshe emabhokisini ezinsuku aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso, amathuba okudala avulekile ngempela.
Amasu okuphrinta wodwa akunikeza ithuluzi elikhulu. Ukuphrinta kwe-offset kukunikeza izithombe ezingokoqobo—eziphelele uma amadethi akho enesikhumba esihle esicwebezelayo ofuna ukusiveza eduze. Ukunyathelisa nge-hot foil ngegolide noma ithusi kunezela ukukhanya kwensimbi okubamba ukukhanya futhi kufundeke njengento esezingeni eliphezulu kusuka kulo lonke igumbi. Ukukhipha i-debossing kucindezela ilogo yakho ebhodini ukuze amakhasimende ayizwe ngeminwe yawo. I-Spot UV ikuvumela ukuthi ugqamise izinto ezithile—igama lomkhiqizo wakho, iphethini, isithombe esibalulekile—nge-pop ecwebezelayo ngemuva kwesizinda esingacwebezeli. Hlanganisa ezimbili noma ezintathu zalezi zindlela ebhokisini elilodwa, futhi uzothola okuthile okuzizwa kumnandi ngempela.
Ingaphakathi lebhokisi liyindawo ethengiswayo esezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu lapho imikhiqizo eminingi ingayinaki nhlobo. Phrinta umhlahlandlela wokuhlanganisa ukunambitheka ngaphakathi kwesivalo. "Ihambisana kahle nekhofi emnyama, i-cheddar ebukhali, noma ingilazi ye-tawny port." Phrinta indaba yakho yokuqala. "Lezi zinsuku ze-Medjool zivela epulazini elilodwa le-oasis e-Al Qassim, lapho umndeni wethu utshale khona amasundu izizukulwane ezine." Phrinta inothi lokubonga ngolimi lwemakethe eqondiwe. Le mininingwane ishibhile ukuyengeza ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza kodwa idala ukuxhumana ngokomzwelo okungasoze kwafezwa amabhokisi ajwayelekile.
Kumaqoqo esizini—iRamadan, i-Eid, iDiwali, izipho zenkampani zikaKhisimusi—ukuphrinta ngokwezifiso kukuvumela ukuthi uzivumelanise nezimo ngokushesha. Ungakha imiklamo yohlobo olulinganiselwe ngaphandle kokushintsha isakhiwo sebhokisi lakho. Ubukhulu bebhokisi obufanayo, umsebenzi wobuciko ohlukile. Umugqa wakho wokukhiqiza uhlala usebenza kahle kuyilapho ukuba khona kwakho eshalofini kuhlala kusha.
Siphinde sinikeze izinketho zokuqeda njengokubukeka okucwebezelayo nokungacwebezeli okunikeza amabhokisi eswidi aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso ukuthinta kokugcina. Angangeza ukukhazimula ekwakhiweni kwakho futhi anikeze nokuvikelwa okwengeziwe.

Uma uthumela amadethi kwamanye amazwe, ukupakisha kwakho kufanele kusebenze kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamasiko. Umklamo ozwakalayo eRiyadh ungase uphele ngokuphelele eToronto. Yilapho amabhokisi edethi aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso eba khona isu langempela.
Umbala uyindawo enhle yokuqala. Igolide elijulile, ama-burgundie acebile, kanye nohlaza oluyi-emerald kubonisa ukunethezeka kanye nesiko kuzo zonke izimakethe zaseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Kodwa abathengi baseNtshonalanga abaqaphela impilo bavame ukuthambekela emibala yomhlaba, ukwakheka kwe-kraft, kanye nomklamo omncane ophakamisa ubunjalo nobumsulwa. Ibhokisi elenziwe ngokwezifiso elihlakaniphile lingahlanganisa womabili amazwe. Cabanga ngesakhiwo esihlanzekile, sesimanje esinesici esisodwa sephethini yendabuko—umsebenzi wethayela wejiyomethri ohlotshiswe kancane ngemuva kwe-kraft, isibonelo. Ufundeka njengowangempela ngaphandle kokuzizwa ungajwayelekile noma ukhungathekisa.
Ulimi lubaluleke kakhulu ekupakisheni kwamanye amazwe. Ibhokisi lakho eliphrintiwe ngokwezifiso lidinga ukufaka imibhalo eminingi ngokucacile nangokuhle. I-calligraphy yesi-Arabhu kanye nokuthayipha kwesiNgisi, kokubili kuhlanganiswe nomklamo kunokuba kubukeke njengokucabanga kamuva. Uma uthumela emakethe ngemithetho ehlukene yokulebula—izimemezelo ze-allergen ze-EU, amaphaneli okunomsoco we-FDA, izimpawu zesitifiketi se-Gulf halal—ukusethwa kwakho kokuphrinta kufanele kuvumele amasimu edatha aguquguqukayo angashintshwa ngaphandle kokuklama kabusha ukwakheka konke.
Enye yezindlela zami engizithandayo zokuthengisa imikhiqizo kwamanye amazwe: iziphakamiso zokuphakelwa eziphrintiwe ezenzelwe imakethe yendawo oya kuyo. Ngebhokisi eliya eFrance, phakamisa izinsuku zokuhlanganisa noshizi weRoquefort. Nge-UK, ngenkomishi yetiye le-Earl Grey. Nge-US, eliqoshiwe libe yi-smoothie noma i-oatmeal. Lokhu kuthinta okuncane kwendawo kwenza umkhiqizo uzizwe wenzelwe leyo makethe ngqo.
Ukuphrinta okuhle ebhodini elibuthakathaka kuwukuchitha imali. Amadethi ayasinda. Ayanamathela. Agcwele amafutha emvelo angena ebhodini lephepha. Amabhokisi akho edethi aphrintiwe ngokwezifiso adinga isisekelo esibonakalayo esisebenza kahle kanye nokubukeka komklamo.
Izinga lebhodi libaluleke kakhulu kunalokho ongakucabanga. Ibhodi eliqinile eligoqwe ngephepha lobuciko eliphrintiwe liyindlela ekhetheke kakhulu yamabhokisi ezipho kanye nokuthengisa okuseqophelweni eliphezulu. Liyasinda, linamandla, futhi linikeza "udumo" olugculisayo uma libekwa etafuleni. Kumaphakethe okuthengisa ansuku zonke kanye nenani, ibhodi lebhokisi eligoqekayo elinesilinganiso esiphezulu elinombozo ovimbela amafutha lizovikela ekufudukeni kwamafutha ngaphandle kwezindleko zokwakha okuqinile.
Uma sikhuluma ngezithiyo—lokhu akunakuxoxiswana ngakho ngezinsuku. Izimbozo ezisekelwe emanzini zisebenza kahle isikhathi esifushane sokuphila. Ngemijikelezo emide yokuthumela kwamanye amazwe noma izinhlobo ezinamafutha ikakhulukazi, i-PET liner encane noma ibhodi elikhethekile elingangenisi amafutha lifanele izindleko ezengeziwe. Hlola ukupakishwa kwakho ngezinsuku zangempela ezigcinwe ngaphakathi okungenani amasonto amabili ngaphambi kokuvuma ukukhiqizwa. Ngibone imiklamo emihle yonakaliswa amabala amafutha aphuma phakathi nezinsuku ngoba othile weqa lesi sinyathelo.
Kubathengi abaqaphela imvelo abaqhuba izinqumo zokuthenga eziningi, izinto ezifana nebhodi eliqinisekiswe yi-FSC, uyinki osekelwe ku-soy, kanye namafilimu efasitela ahlanganiswayo (i-PLA esikhundleni se-PVC) kulindeleke kakhulu kunokuba kube ngokuzithandela. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi lezi zinto aziphazamisi ikhwalithi yokuphrinta nhlobo. Ungathola ukuphrinta okucacile nokucwebezelayo ebhodini eliphinde lasetshenziswa ngoyinki onobungani nemvelo obukeka kahle njengezinketho ezivamile.
Ngibone amaphutha afanayo ekhubeka abanikazi bamabhizinisi abahlakaniphile ngokuphindaphindiwe. Ake ngikusindise ekhanda.
Iphutha lokuqala: ukuvuma umklamo ngaphandle kokuhlola i-dielline. I-dielline iyithempulethi eyisicaba ekhombisa ngqo ukuthi ibhokisi lakho lizosikwa, ligoqwe, futhi linamathiselwe kuphi. Uma umsebenzi wakho wobuciko weqa umugqa ogoqekayo ngokungalungile, ilogo yakho igcina ihlukaniswe phakathi kwamaphaneli amabili. Phrinta ithempulethi ye-dielline, uyigoqe ibe yisimo sebhokisi wena, bese uhlola ngokomzimba ukuthi yonke into iwela kuphi.
Iphutha lesibili: ukungacacisi amazinga okufanisa imibala. Ukuthi "igolide" akunangqondo—igolide lomunye umuntu liphuzi lesinaphi lomunye umuntu. Sebenzisa amakhodi ombala wePantone kunoma yini edinga ukuba nembile, ikakhulukazi imibala yomkhiqizo. Futhi ucele isampula yokudweba imibala ekhombisa indlela iPantone oyikhethile enyathelisa ngayo izinto ozikhethile ebhodini. Umbala uyashintsha kuye ngokuthi i-substrate injani.
Iphutha lesithathu: ukukhohlwa ngebhakhodi. Ibhakhodi yakho idinga inani elithile lesikhala esimhlophe eliyizungezile futhi kufanele iphrinte endaweni eyisicaba, engabonisi ukuze iskena ngokuthembekile. Ngibone amabhokisi amahle, abizayo abukeka ephelele kodwa angeke askena lapho kuthengwa khona ezitolo ezinkulu. Qiniseka ukuthi umklami wakho ubheka ukubekwa kwebhakhodi kanye nokuqhathanisa ekuqaleni kwenqubo, hhayi njengokucabanga kamuva.
Kuncike endleleni yokuphrinta. Ukuphrinta kwedijithali kukuvumela ukuthi u-ode amayunithi ambalwa afinyelela ku-200-300 ngomklamo ngamunye ngaphandle kwezimali zokusetha ezixakile. Ukuphrinta kwe-offset kuvame ukuqala ukwenza umqondo wezezimali cishe amayunithi angu-500-1,000. Uma usanda kuhlola umklamo noma ungena emakethe entsha, qala ngedijithali, uqinisekise ukuthi ukupakishwa kuyasebenza, bese ukhulisa. Noma yimuphi umhlinzeki ofanele kufanele anikeze zombili izinketho.
Abakhiqizi abaningi bokupakisha abaziwayo banamaqembu okuklama angaphakathi. Bathumelele amafayela akho elogo, ezinye izithombe zezitayela ozithandayo, kanye nencazelo ecacile yalokho okufunayo. Bazokwakha ama-mockup ukuze uwavume. Abanye banikeza le nsizakalo mahhala ngesibopho se-oda; abanye bakhokhisa imali yokuklama eqondile. Noma ngabe yikuphi, qiniseka ukuthi uthola amafayela okuklama okuqala (i-AI, i-PDF) ekugcineni ukuze ube ngumnikazi wobuciko bakho.
Cacisa ikhodi yensimbi yePantone noma umbala othize wefoyile encwadini yomthengisi. "Igolide" liyahlukahluka kakhulu phakathi kwabakhiqizi. Futhi, buza ukuthi ifoyile ibukeka kanjani ezintweni zebhodi ozikhethile. Ifoyile efanayo ingabonakala ikhanya futhi ikhanya ephepheni elimboziwe futhi ingabonakali futhi ithule ebhodini le-kraft elingamboziwe. Isampula ebonakalayo isusa konke ukuqagela.
Yebo, futhi empeleni lena indlela ehlakaniphile yokuphatha izindleko. Gcina isakhiwo sebhokisi sifana—umugqa wedayili ofanayo, ukufakwa okufanayo, inqubo efanayo yokuhlanganisa—kodwa shintsha umsebenzi wobuciko ophrintiwe wohlobo ngalunye. I-Medjool ithola umklamo owodwa, i-Ajwa enye, i-Sukkari yesithathu. Umugqa wakho wokukhiqiza awudingi ukulungiswa, kodwa ukuba khona kwakho eshalofini kuzwakala kulungiselelwe umkhiqizo ngamunye.
Ukwehluka kombala phakathi kobufakazi obuvunyiwe kanye nokuqaliswa kokukhiqiza. Ngikubona lokhu njalo. Isixazululo sigcizelela isampula yokukhiqiza ebonakalayo ekhishwe kusukela ekuqaleni kokukhishwa kwe-press ngaphambi kokuba kukhiqizwe i-oda eliphelele. Yebo, kunezela izinsuku ezimbalwa kumugqa wesikhathi. Yebo, kuyafaneleka. Ukubamba ukushintsha kombala kulesi sigaba kusho ukulungisa umshini wokucindezela. Ukuwubamba lapho amabhokisi ayi-10,000 efika endaweni yakho yokugcina impahla kusho ukuhlala nawo noma ukudla izindleko zokuphrinta kabusha.
