Why Health Systems Nationwide Trust YGS Print Solutions for Patient Education Materials

When a patient has a stroke, is preparing to have knee surgery, is diagnosed with cancer, or is facing any of a hundred other conditions and procedures, there is a lot the individual needs to know. Patients and families need to know about medication side effects, how to prepare for anything from a CT scan to a colonoscopy, how to recover as quickly as possible, and what to do if something goes wrong. Many hospitals use patient education booklets, brochures, folders, or even binders to share this key information. That’s where YGS Print Solutions comes in.

YGS Print Solutions’ expertise in digital and offset printing is a perfect match for hospitals and health systems’ patient education materials, according to Austin Rife, corporate account executive, The YGS Group. “For patient education materials, hospitals are often printing substantial pieces with coil bindings and tabs, laying out all the expectations around a patient’s condition,” he said. “Our offset printing capabilities are a great fit for project like these, enabling us to hit Pantone colors exactly and to print larger quantities.”

Clients like Stanford Health Care, Adventist HealthCare, and The George Washington University Hospital agree, placing their trust in YGS Print Solutions’ offset printing capabilities.

Why offset printing is a great choice for patient education materials

Perfect branding – Hospitals and health systems are diligent about maintaining their brands, and colors are an important part of it. Because offset printing uses ink, we can hit Pantone colors exactly.

Pocket folders – Our offset printers can print up to 40 inches in a single sheet, which is ideal for the pocket folders that patient education packets often use. This large sheet size can’t be done on a digital press

Large print runs – Offset printing is a great choice for larger print runs (5,000+ pieces) because it is cost effective at scale, while delivering unmatched quality.

What options are available for smaller print runs of patient education materials? Printing patient education materials on a digital press makes good budget sense on print runs of a few hundred to a few thousand. Our digital printing projects use a top-of-the-line HP 12,000 Indigo press. “Our high-quality digital press allows us to get close to offset quality at smaller run sizes and at lower cost,” said Tony Rife, vice president of sales for The YGS Group.
