We don’t have templates yet. The artwork guide covers sizes and bleed, or bring your file in and we’ll check it with you.
Both start from your artwork. Standard is ready 3 to 5 working days after your artwork is approved and costs less on bigger runs. Express is ready the same day, within 2 hours, when your artwork is approved by 4pm, Monday to Saturday, for collection from the shop. If you send your artwork later, the time starts once we have it and it’s approved. Ready dates are confirmed when we check your artwork.
Yes, folding is extra. Ask for a quote and we’ll price it.
Leaflets are zero-rated for VAT, so there’s none to add (HMRC Notice 701/10). The price you see is the price you pay.
If we spot a problem with your file or aren’t sure about something, we’ll check with you before printing. You’re responsible for checking spelling, numbers and layout. We don’t send proofs as standard; if you’d like one, ask when you order and we’ll quote for it.
Yes. Choose “I need it designed” at the artwork step: from £50.00, added to your order. Tell us what to put on it and we send a PDF proof, first proof within one working day. One round of changes is included; extra rounds are £15.00 each. We print once you approve it.
You can upload a new file, tick “print as supplied” for warnings, send it later, or choose “I need it designed” (from £50.00, added to your order). If we spot a problem after you’ve paid, we’ll get in touch before anything is printed.
Anything not on the price list is a custom quote. Ask for a quote and we’ll price it.
