4 Color Trade offers re-seller accounts to bona-fied printing establishments, graphic designers and others who can demonstrate to us that they are a legitimate business. Our resale accounts offer you the opportunity to purchase your printing at wholesale pricing, while offering your customers the finest quality available anywhere in the lower 48 continental US states. Remember the pricing displayed throughout our site is our Standard trade account pricing (see our example price comparison below), loyalty awards account (Select, Preferred, Elite & Platinum) pricing is well below what you see here.
We can ship directly to you or if you choose we can blind ship your purchases directly to your customer, so that your relationship to us is unknown to them. We never contact your customers directly, and our goal is to maintain a productive relationship with you as our resale partner.
To qualify for our resale accounts program, we ask that you fill out our short account application. Complete as much information as possible, as we will attempt to verify you are a legitimate reseller. Accounts are activated immediately, however we reserve the right to deactivate accounts who do not meet our resale qualifications. 4 Color Trade also reserves the right to cancel any order of customers who do not meet resale qualifications.
We do not provide artwork or design services for resellers. Resale accounts are expected to complete their orders online and upload artwork using the tools provided. Prior to plating we will verify your artwork meets the correct dimentions, dpi and color space. If we find any issues you will be notified so that you can correct the issue. Other than this we do not proof your submissions, so please verify accuracy prior to uploading.
Standard trade accounts - Just as the name implies; this account is free and open to qualified print shops, graphic designers, advertising agencies and others who can demonstrate that they resell printing to the public.
Loyalty awards accounts - Save even more and get expidited production on most items. As a trade account customer, your account will be reviewed by our automated system on a regular basis. The system will consider length of time as a customer, order volume, purchase totals over selected time periods and other qualifying criteria. Should you qualify, your account will be assigned a higher loyalty awards designation and pricing will be adjusted according to the level assigned. The awards levels above a Standard account are Select, Preferred, Elite and Platinum. Expidited production also saves you more and helps you beat the competition with fast delivery.
The following table shows examples of our pricing for your comparison. Loyalty awards customers also receive expidited processing on many item categories. *Next business day options are additional for all customer levels.
