The Confederation of Print Users (CPU) plans to provide advice and technical information for buyers of print and design services.
"We saw a gap in the market for providing services for people without a great deal of experience in print buying," said managing director Martin Edwards.
For a 3,000 per year membership fee, the CPU will offer seven-days-a-week service, including advice on new technology, estimating and arbitration in disputes.
"We will also offer a cover service for when the normal buyer is off on holiday, or off sick," added Edwards.
The CPU has four clients and employs four staff at its Chorley headquarters.

"Whatever happened to the good old fashioned cash job! At least the banks didn't take 2-3% of each sale. After 30 odd transactions that £100 quid you had has gone."
