Companies and Departments
A company is an organization that purchases printed material produced by the print shop. Companies
may contain one or multiple departments. A department is an organizational unit and are used to define
territorial and/or administrative divisions of a company.
Publication types
A publication type is a folder in which template documents of your customers are grouped. These
publication type folders can contain multiple documents. For example: a publication type folder to store
different language variants of a brochure (e.g. Dutch and English-versions), a publication type folder
for house style related document (e.g. Business cards, letterheads, envelopes). Each customer has his
own publication types.
Pricing details and/or volume discount tables are linked to the publication type's folders. Pricing details
and/or volume discount tables can apply to all documents which are in the publication types folder if the
inherit option is selected.
PrintShop Mail 6.0 or later (windows only) can publish PrintShop Mail documents to a publication
type folder in PrintShop Web. The free designer version of PrintShop Mail can be used for that. From
PrintShop Mail you can also create new publication type folders.
