What Our Clients Say
Daniel was responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. He answered my questions, guided me through the technical details, and made sure everything was correct before printing.
The final product exceeded my expectations. The print quality is beautiful, the colors are vibrant, and the cards and rigid box feel truly premium. As a first-time deck creator, I appreciated the attention to detail and support every step of the way.
An added bonus, my shipment came in two weeks earlier than expected.
I am extremely happy with the result and would gladly work with QinPrinting again. Highly recommended.
Tarot of the Blue Rose.
I also sincerely appreciate your patience and willingness to accommodate my detailed review requests, guiding me until I was completely satisfied. Since this was my very first time submitting design data, there were challenging moments where my knowledge fell short, but it all turned out to be a wonderful learning experience.
Big thanks to my main contact, the designers, and the entire factory team for your amazing support. I look forward to working with you all again for the upcoming English version!
I quickly sent enquiries to printers in Singapore and Malaysia. I went down to local printing shops over the weekend. Some told me to just staple my books, while some took weeks to reply, and most did not even give a quotation based on what I enquired.
I was disheartened and seriously considering just publishing ebooks and giving up my paperback dream. As a last leap of faith, I filled in Qin Printing's quotation form on a Saturday evening. A few hours later, I received a reply from Ms Mia Wang.
Mia is one of the most professional and meticulous people I have worked with. She answered every single one of the questions I posed, anticipated others before I even asked, and her promptness was amazing. As a client, it is great when queries get answered even on a Sunday. But as a older woman to a younger lady, I really hope she gets the rest she needs.
The books came very well packed, beautifully printed and right before my nearly impossible deadline because the team was so efficient and I could tell they kept my timeline in mind.
I just sold my first order of my paperbacks today when the request for review come into my inbox. What apt timing. 🙂
Thank you Mia and the hardworking and dedicated team at Qin. I am hoping I will get to print my second and further orders with you.
Keep up the wonderful work! But please, take care and rest well too!
The final insert cards were also produced to a very high standard. The cardstock quality, soft-touch lamination, and overall finish gave the inserts a premium feel that aligned perfectly with our brand positioning.
Production and delivery were handled professionally, and the overall experience reflected strong attention to detail and customer service.
We are very happy with the outcome and would gladly work with QinPrinting again for future projects.
The final work product is excellent. Get numerous compliments about quality of book/illustrations
