Hiring a print shop on LoKator™
How to post a job on LoKator™, compare bids from trusted local print shops, and hire with a guarantee that protects the work.
What LoKator™ is for
LoKator™ helps you find and hire trusted local print shops when a run is bigger than your shop can take on, or when you need a service you don't offer in-house. Instead of cold-calling around town, you post the job and let nearby shops bid for it.
Posting a job and hiring a shop
- 1Open LoKator™ from the Marketplaces menu and post your job
- 2Describe the run — quantities, garments, decoration method, and your deadline
- 3Compare the bids that come in from trusted local shops, along with their ratings and reviews
- 4Hire the shop you choose — your payment is held safely until the work is delivered
Include your real deadline and full run details up front so the bids you get back are accurate and easy to compare.
Hiring with a guarantee
LoKator™ jobs are backed by a guarantee. Your payment is held safely after you hire and is only released once the work is delivered and you're satisfied, so both you and the shop you hired are protected throughout the job.
After the job
When the work is delivered, review it and approve to release payment. You can then leave a rating that helps other shops know which local partners are reliable — and builds your own reputation as a good partner to work with.
