When Should I Use McKenna? When is Leverage the right fit?
Let’s break it down in a simple Q&A.
“I need a high-end look and feel for my grad or holiday cards. Which company should I choose?”
McKenna is your best option for high-quality press card runs. McKenna’s press cards are printed on premium, imported Italian-mill press papers, ensuring a top-of-the-line finish and textile feel. Leverage specializes in cost-effective bulk printing on American-made, commercial-grade papers, still giving you a quality product.
“Does Leverage handle large print runs?”
Yes! If you need high-quantity runs of marketing pieces like business cards, brochures, or magazines, Leverage can offer better pricing due to efficient setup and printing processes that comes from the longer print run time.
“What if I need Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) or bulk mail campaigns?”
Leverage is the right choice for your mailing campaigns. They handle EDDM and bulk mailing services, making it easy for you to reach potential clients with your business mailers.
“What about shipping costs?”
McKenna offers a flat $2 shipping fee, while Leverage charges shipping at cost which is standard for commercial printers.
“I need brochures or magazines—where should I order?”
For a polished, high-end square fold and small runs, McKenna is your best choice. However, for standard folded brochures and magazines and large quantities, Leverage provides a budget-friendly solution.
“Can I place Leverage orders in Easy Order or use my McKenna account number?”
No, you cannot order Leverage products in McKenna’s ordering software or use your McKenna account number. Leverage remains running as an individual company under the McKenna Family of Brands with its own web-based ordering system at LeveragePrinting.com. You will create a Leverage account during checkout of your first order.
