Frequently Asked Questions

We've tried to make things as simple as possible on our website so that you can see clearly, prices, formats and any technical information. Below are a few common questions we get asked on a regular basis that might answer your questions. If theres anything not covered here then please do get in contact and we'll do our best to help.

How does the Brochure design and print process work?
Over on the left hand side you'll see a list of popular brochure and folder formats ranging from A5 folded brochures, through to folders with stitched brochures. Simply select the package that best suits you from the list on the left, you'll then go through to a page with technical information including brochure sizes, brochure design and print turnaround and brochure paper stock. There will be a list of prices, select the right one for you and you'll be taken through to our on-line secure payments page. Once payment has been processed you'll be directed to an order page and be able to fill out the simple registration form. The more information you include the better as we will be able to target the design to your particular market. We will the email you and you can then send over any content you have in word docs plus any additional images or logos if needed. The next stage would be for us to design the brochure which will be submitted via email either in low res pdf format or as a flattened jpg for your aproval. If there are any changes needed let us know and we'll make them until your absolutely happy. Only when the designs have been approved will we move on to printing. We will then give you an estimated delivery day for your completed brochures. You can then sit back and look forward to seeing your brochures delivered direct to your door.

How do you keep your brochure design and print prices so low?
Our design team although small in number have many years experience in putting together successful marketing brochures. Because our efforts are focused on brochure designing on a day to day basis we can quickly put things together and more often than not get things pretty much right first time. All of our brochure printing is handled by selected trade suppliers that we have built up good working relations with over the years and can rely on to meet our deadlines and high quality control. Because we are putting through a lot of print on a regular basis we can use our trade buying power to lever down costs and pass on those savings to our customers.

How soon can I get my brochures produced?
We've given estimated turnaround times on all our brochure product pages. We try and jump on all new jobs as soon as they come in. As far as print is concerned we can sometimes pull things forward on estimated turnaround times if you need things in a hurry. Always enquire prior to placing an order to see what we can do.

I already have a designed brochure can you print it for me?
Through experience we have found that what people think is print ready artwork, very often is far from it. We require images be saved in cmyk format at least 300dpi resolution. All artwork must be supplied with text outlined and to the right specific dimensions with 3mm bleed. Put simply if you are familiar with DTP design software and know what you are doing we'd be happy to take a look at your print ready files and give you a competitive print quote. However bearing in mind our combined design and print packages are already lower than most other printers can produce for print alone, we think in most cases you'd be best off letting the professionals design and print your brochures.

Can you print any special finishes such as spot varnish or embossing?
Yes we can but if you require a different stock paper or different finishing process such as spot varnish or 5th colours we will need to work out a tailored quote for your specific special process print job.
