We use next working day couriers for for delivery nationwide (DPD or Royal Mail). You’ll usually receive a tracking email which will give an estimated delivery time, along with the ability to manage your delivery (re-arrange the day or specify a safe place for it to be left).

Once we dispatch your order, it should be delivered the next working day. Please note that Northern Ireland, Offshore Islands and some parts of Scotland may take longer.

Delivery is included in the price for most products on our website: NCR pads, Orders of service, Waste transfer notes, Leaflets, Business cards.

Delivery is £8 +VAT (£9.60) for products where you might want to order lots of variations in small quantities: Plan prints, Posters, Document printing, and Wedding stationery. We’ve set our prices very low for these, so you can add lots of orders to the basket, and only pay for delivery once. Delivery will added at the end of the checkout before you pay. 

Of course not, most of what we do is custom printing for businesses.

We can produce many items that aren’t currently displayed on our website.  We have hundreds of different paper stocks, labels and finishing options.

Please email us your requirements and we’ll work out the most cost effective way of printing your order, along with any recommendations.

The VAT on printing is different depending on the content and the finish. 

Generally, leaflets, brochures, booklets, manuals, books, and orders of service are zero rated (0% VAT).

Anything else (forms, posters, documents, invitations, vouchers, etc) needs to be priced with 20% VAT. 

Our order summary box displays the VAT on each order, and we’ll email you a VAT receipt.

Yes, though we need your file to be set up to allow this.

We need a PDF file saved in ‘press quality’ or ‘PDF/X-1A’ quality, correctly sized with cropmarks and 3mm bleed. 

The 3mm bleed is an extra 3mm of background on each edge, which gets cut off when we trim your print to it’s final size. 

For example, if you would like an business card (55mm x 85mm) printed edge to edge, your design including 3mm bleed would measure 61mm x 91mm (an extra 3mm on each edge).

It is also good practice to keep text at least 4mm in from the edge of the sheet, to save it from being cut off. 

If you are having a hard time, please email us your file and we’ll try to help. 

Here is an example of how to set up a business card file, where the finished size is 55mm x 85mm:

We have very good machines which we calibrate regularly, and some automatically calibrate themselves.

Everything we do though is printed in CMYK; a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Most of our machines use toner, but some use inks, and this along with the paper type can affect how colours look. 

‘Pantone inks’ are specially manufactured inks of a particular precise colour. We don’t print with these, and so we can’t guarantee to match them. 

We also can’t print a colour that will match a monitor or mobile phone screen. This is because screens produce colour by generating light, whereas colours on printed paper are made up of reflected light. 

If you have a job that is particularly colour sensitive, please email us first so we can check your file for any issues.
