Print that arrives on time and on brand

Print is where a brand becomes physical: a signed contract, a shirt, a shopfront, a banner. We specify the material, check the proof and follow the job through to delivery, because the artwork is only half of what makes printed work look right.

Where we work

The parts print production is made of.

Each discipline can stand alone, and they are at their best when they run in sequence.

  • Corporate printing

    Stationery, brochures, reports and business documents, specified and checked.

    Corporate printing

  • Branded merchandise

    Apparel, corporate gifts and campaign items people actually keep.

    Branded merchandise

  • Large format printing

    Banners, vehicle and building graphics and exhibition work, installed properly.

How we approach it

Specification before quotation

The same job quoted three ways is rarely the same job. Paper weight, material, finish, quantity and turn-around all move the price, so we write the specification first and quote against it, which also makes supplier quotes genuinely comparable.

  • Material, finish and quantity agreed before comparing prices
  • Cost differences explained, not just totalled
  • A written specification every supplier can quote against

Proofs catch problems while they are still cheap

A mistake caught at proof stage costs a conversation. The same mistake caught after the run costs the whole print. Proofs, samples and a signed-off reference are part of the process on every job where the quantity makes a mistake expensive.

Delivery, inspection and records

We check what arrives against what was specified: quantity, finish, colour and packaging. The specification and approved proofs are kept on file, so a reorder months later matches the original rather than quietly drifting.

  • Delivery checked against the agreed specification
  • Shortfalls and defects raised with the supplier, not absorbed
  • Files and specifications archived for future reprints

What this connects to.

The other service lines this one meets on a real project, and what the two of them share.

  • Branding

    A brand manual is only worth writing if the materials it specifies can actually be produced, so the rules are checked against the press, the signwriter and the embroiderer.

  • Campaigns

    Most campaign materials are produced here, so the campaign schedule is planned around the lead time of the physical pieces rather than the other way round.

  • Advertising

    Outdoor advertising ends in large format print: the artwork, the material and the installation are one job with one deadline.

Questions we are often asked

  • Can you work from artwork we already have?

    Yes. We check files before printing: colour space, resolution, bleed, fonts and trim size. Where something would print badly, we fix it or tell you what needs to change rather than running the job and hoping.

  • We already have a printer we trust. Does that work?

    Yes. We can prepare and preflight the artwork and hand it over with a full specification, or manage the whole job end to end. Many clients keep their existing supplier and use us for specification and file preparation.

  • How long does a print job take?

    It depends on the method, the materials, the finishing and the quantity, and lead times move during busy periods. Rather than quote a number we cannot hold, we agree the realistic lead time with you and the suppliers before you commit to a launch date.
