Print Shop Trade Account Application

Streamline Your Print Shop Trade Accounts with Paperform

Running a professional print shop means juggling multiple trade clients, each with their own file formats, turnaround expectations, and color specifications. This Print Shop Trade Account Application template helps you onboard B2B clients efficiently while capturing all the technical details that matter for smooth, recurring printing partnerships.

Whether you're serving graphic design agencies, marketing firms, small businesses, or retail partners, this template collects everything from company details and billing preferences to specific design file formats, preferred turnaround times, and color matching requirements. Instead of back-and-forth emails clarifying specifications for every order, you'll have a comprehensive client profile ready from day one.

Built for print professionals who need more than basic contact forms, this template captures the nuances of trade printing—PMS matching requirements, preferred file types (AI, PDF, INDD), finishing preferences, and monthly billing cycles. You can customize conditional logic to show relevant questions based on the types of printing services clients need most, whether that's large format, digital, offset, or specialty printing.

Paperform makes it easy to embed this form directly on your website, share it via email to prospective trade partners, or include it in your sales proposals. Once submitted, applications can automatically flow into your CRM, trigger welcome emails with trade pricing sheets, or connect to Stepper to kick off approval workflows, account setup tasks, and onboarding sequences.

With built-in payment capabilities, you can even collect initial deposits or setup fees during the application process. Need clients to sign trade terms and conditions? Connect Papersign to send professional eSignature requests immediately after form submission, keeping all documentation linked and organized.

This template is ideal for commercial printers, digital print shops, large format printing companies, screen printers, and specialty print services looking to professionalize their trade account onboarding and build lasting B2B relationships with clear expectations from the start.
