Learn Step By Step How To Create, Print and Sell Beautiful Paper Products by Polly Payne

Learn to design, manufacture, launch, and fulfill planners, journals, devotionals, and workbooks with Polly Payne’s Print School.

Turn Your Paper Product Idea Into Something You Can Hold

Creating a premium planner, journal, devotional, or workbook involves much more than designing a few attractive pages. You need to understand printing terminology, materials, file preparation, samples, manufacturing, fulfillment, pricing, and product launches.

Print School by Polly Payne is a guided program that teaches the complete process of creating and selling professionally printed paper products.

Polly founded Horacio Printing and launched the Dream Planner in 2014. The course organizes the lessons from her printing experience into a structured path—from the initial idea and prototype to manufacturing, fulfillment, and ecommerce sales.

The program is intended for creators who want higher-quality customization than typical print-on-demand services provide but do not know how to work directly with professional printers.

• Turn a paper-product idea into a practical plan

What’s Included in Print School?

Module 1: Introduction to Printing

Learn the language of professional printing and create a timeline for your project.

This module helps you understand the manufacturing process, define what you are producing, and communicate more confidently with designers and suppliers.

Module 2: Ideation

Move your idea from your head into a functional product concept.

You’ll determine the purpose of the product, select potential materials and details, connect with a printer, and request an initial quotation.

Module 3: Design

Define the size, layout, style, specifications, materials, and visual direction of your product.

The module also covers project management so your files, decisions, deadlines, and supplier communication remain organized throughout development.

Module 4: Printing

Follow the Dream Printing Method to request and order a physical sample from a preferred printer.

You’ll learn how sampling works, what to review before approving production, and how the overseas printing process is managed.

Module 5: Fulfillment

Explore three methods for delivering finished products to customers:

• Packing and shipping orders from home
• Outsourcing fulfillment to a warehouse
• Working with Amazon fulfillment

The right option will depend on your order volume, location, margins, storage space, and customer expectations.

Coaching, Suppliers, and Community Support

Print School includes four group coaching calls per month, a private student community, lesson-based questions, and email support.

Active students can ask questions about their own products and receive guidance when they encounter design, printing, or fulfillment problems. Additional private calls with Polly may also be booked separately.

Members receive direct access to Polly’s preferred industry contacts, including printers, designers, fulfillment providers, and other product-development partners. Working with a recommended supplier can simplify research, but pricing, availability, production quality, and shipping terms should still be reviewed independently.

Design and Launch Bonuses

The advertised bonuses include:

• Canva and Adobe InDesign design training
• Planner, journal, and devotional templates
• Guidance for exporting print-ready files
• Two-year access to Launch School
• Preorder campaign training
• Shopify store setup guidance
• Organic marketing strategies
• Email, photography, and video launch resources

A preorder campaign may help validate demand and contribute toward production expenses, but it does not remove the need for accurate costing, reliable suppliers, clear delivery timelines, and customer communication.
