Facilities juggle work instructions, safety permits, and sales literature across plants, languages, and borders. Mimeo prints, warehouses, and ships all of it on demand, so pallets of catalogs stop stacking up in a supply closet and the next shipment moves on its own.
THE CHALLENGE
Someone at headquarters is boxing catalogs and swag by hand for reps and plants that just need supplies. Manufacturing teams shouldn't have to operate as a shipping department.
Each plant orders from its own local print shop. A company running thousands of print jobs a year across dozens of sites never sees the bulk pricing that volume should buy.
Shipments to reps and facilities outside the US, especially across the Canadian border, get held at customs or come back with surprise charges for the wrong duty amount.
Manufacturers can't run safe, cost-controlled operations while every plant handles print its own way.
Our Solution
Mimeo replaces the local print shop and the supply closet with one system. An automated storefront takes literature and swag requests off your plate and handles the packing and shipping, including the international orders that used to stall at customs. Every plant orders through the same platform, so the volume you’re already printing finally earns you real pricing.
Use Cases
Manufacturing teams rely on Mimeo to keep documentation current, consistent, and audit-ready across every facility and production line.
Printed procedures that stay current on every floor. Update once, and every plant orders the new version, not the old one.
Carbon-copy safety permits and quality forms, produced in whatever language a site requires, ready to post or ship.
Onboarding packets and safety training guides that keep new operators compliant from their first shift.
Catalogs and promotional materials ordered through a storefront, packed and shipped without routing through HQ.
Case Studies
WEG saved $40K annually by switching from on-site printing to Mimeo
WEG's marketing team was leasing and maintaining an industrial printer just to keep up with print demand, absorbing the upkeep and per-unit costs that came with running it in-house. Switching to Mimeo cut those costs and pulled the maintenance burden off their plate entirely.
Cognex built a global partner training storefront live in days using Mimeo
Cognex's logistics division needed to train a growing list of partner organizations worldwide on its machine vision solutions, without building a system from scratch for every new partner. Mimeo got a branded training storefront live in days, ready to scale with each new region.
TWO PLATFORMS
Mimeo gives manufacturing teams one platform to manage documentation across all facilities, from floor procedures to quality compliance records.
Upload Your Files
Works with the files your engineering, quality, and operations teams already manage. No reformatting, no IT involvement.
Build Your Document
Durable paper for shop floor use, laminated quick-reference procedures, tabbed SOP binders, matched to facility and compliance requirements.
Proof in Real Time
Catch version errors or process inaccuracies before a work instruction, quality form, or procedure reaches the floor.
Place Your Order
One procedure update, one facility, one department. Order exactly what you need, nothing more.
Ship with Fast Turnaround
Current documentation on the shop floor before the next production shift. No reliance on outdated printed stock.
Build Your Storefront
Create a central hub where site teams, quality leads, and plant managers order from approved, current documentation.
Set Access Controls
Restrict access by plant, region, or role, so each site or rep only sees what applies to them.
Reps and Plants Self-Order
Facilities and sales reps order literature, swag, and documentation directly, on their own timeline.
Pack-and-Ship Handled for You
Orders are packed and shipped from our network, including international destinations, without anyone at headquarters taping a box.
Track Every Order
Full order history by plant, region, and rep. Know what shipped, where, and when.
Manufacturing print requires more than speed. It requires a platform that keeps your documentation program under control.
Every plant orders through one platform instead of a dozen local shops, so your print volume works in your favor.
Update a permit or SOP once, and the current version is the only one available to order, in every language a facility needs.
Print hubs positioned internationally keep shipments to reps and plants abroad moving, without the guesswork of cross-border duties.
Print materials for manufacturing operations, from floor procedures to regulatory documentation.
MANUFACTURING MANUALS
Production lines depend on accurate, clearly formatted documentation. Mimeo produces work instructions, equipment manuals, and process guides built for the shop floor. Durable. Legible. Easy to update when a process changes.
Common uses:
MANUFACTURING BINDERS
An auditor asking for an engineering change record shouldn't send anyone searching. Mimeo binders keep ISO files, revision histories, and compliance records organized and produced consistently across every site, updated easily whenever content changes.
MANUFACTURING POSTERS AND BANNERS
Visual management only works if operators actually see it. Mimeo posters and banners hold up to shop floor conditions and stay legible at every station, shift after shift, communicating safety rules, performance metrics, and process reminders where they're needed most.
MANUFACTURING BOOKLETS
A technician troubleshooting a line stoppage doesn't have time to flip through a full manual. Mimeo prints job aids, quick guides, and technical reference booklets, compact and well-indexed, that operators can carry and consult on the line.
MANUFACTURING CATALOGS
Specifying the wrong part costs everyone time. A complete, well-organized catalog helps sales teams, distributors, and procurement buyers get it right the first time. Mimeo keeps catalogs current with on-demand reprinting whenever specs or SKUs change.
Feedback from real manufacturing professionals
Mia Conway is amazing. Any time we need anything she jumps on it and within minutes it is resolved. She never fails to help us with whatever we need. She is an asset to your team and we appreciate her very much!
It has been easy to use; easy to update materials; make adjustments to keep costs down (you can play with different types of layouts, bindings, paper weight, to see how it affects the cost). Whenever I have had questions, I have received great support via phone or email.
Camielle did a wonderful job, was extremely flexible when I ran into some issues, and was very clear and helpful in getting everything resolved for me.
Before Mimeo, my team wasted 5-10 hours per week managing print supplies. Switching to Mimeo saved us time, lowered prices, and increased revenue.
Before Mimeo, our team stood in front of the printers up to 30% of the time. Just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should. Mimeo gave them back time in their lives.
The deliveries were managed very well, including the exceptions. I appreciated the notifications that gave people a chance to adjust as needed. The pocket guides were packed well and exactly as specified. The quality of the finished product is excellent.
Whether you're keeping production floors current or shipping to multiple facilities, here's what manufacturing teams ask us about print.
One platform update applies everywhere. When you revise a work instruction or quality form, the new version replaces the old one across all sites. Every plant prints from the same current document.
Yes. Each plant or department orders exactly what it needs through its own storefront or account, so one site’s order doesn’t force another to take extra stock.
Every order is logged with version, date, user, and quantity. Combined with version control that locks outdated documents from reorder, Mimeo supports the traceability requirements that ISO quality standards require.
Manuals, binders, booklets, posters, banners, and catalogs, along with durable and laminated options built for shop floor conditions.
Our network of print, warehousing, and fulfillment services helps you centralize plant-by-plant print spend and get supplies moving again, without adding headcount to run it.
