Welcome to the Cove!

Would an electronic "paperless" work order system be a better option for your company's situation? Perhaps your IT department can develop a program that will suit your needs and satisfy the finance department's expense concerns, as well.

Depending upon your company's needs, an Excel spreadsheet may even work. Just a couple of suggestions to consider. I hope this helps.

Sorry Sir, my employees can't use computer for this thing..
Maybe any suggestion for me ?

Use a small pre-formatted white board that travels with the job. All essential information will be written in with a dry-erase marker. After the job is completed, the board is cleaned and reused. Simple, cheap and effective.

If you look for something simple and there is no requirement to maintain a record, the small white board (or similar) could work. However, if records need to be maintained, then you must create a simple (paper) form that after completion can be filed away.

Hi opengrace,

Previously, our customer service use to photocopy the work order form. Just prepare a standard format using excel , which you may include: customer's name, product description, control number, order qty, produced qty, type of ink, paper, number of ups, your simplify manufacture process.

In addition, you may re-produce the written form with different colour for individual deptment.
Sorry that I don't have it in soft or hard copy as I had left the company long ago.

No matter you need Offset or Screen printing all options should available with online printing company that you chose for your project

Traditionally in a small to large job printing company a «job bag» or «docket» is used. It's a very simple concept, the form you speak of is printed on a large brown envelope. Or some companies just tape the form to the envelope.

The information in entered on the printed envelope, samples, models, and related documents are in the envelope. This way the pressman has everything he needs to complete his work.

It' works very well, and it gives you a medium to store the job information for repeat work.

The following link is a good example of what you could include.
