FAQs
Most annual reports are A4 size, perfect bound, with 32-64 pages. We recommend 130gsm silk or matt art paper for inner pages and a 300gsm cover with matt lamination for a premium, sophisticated finish that reflects well on your organisation. Matt lamination reduces glare during presentations and gives an executive feel. For organisations wanting extra impact, spot UV highlights on the cover or debossing can add a prestigious tactile element. The key is balancing professional appearance with readability and durability—your annual report represents your organisation to shareholders, stakeholders, and the public.
Absolutely. We can store your printed publications in our warehouse and release them as needed throughout the year—perfect for staged distribution, on-demand fulfilment, or publications tied to specific events. For example, we can store your annual reports and distribute batches to different regional offices over several months, or hold your school prospectus and send quantities to specific open days and enrolment events. This eliminates your need to warehouse stock, manage inventory, and coordinate logistics yourself. We become your single point of contact for printing, storage, and distribution.
Standard turnaround is 10-15 working days from artwork approval. However, we understand that annual reports often have strict AGM deadlines and prospectuses are tied to enrolment periods with no flexibility. Contact us early—ideally 4-6 weeks before your deadline—to lock in your schedule. With advance planning, we can accommodate tight timelines and ensure your publications arrive exactly when you need them. We'll work backwards from your deadline to establish artwork deadlines, proof approval dates, and delivery schedules. Many clients book their annual report printing months in advance to guarantee availability during peak AGM season.
Yes, we can print from 250 publications. This is perfect for organisations with smaller memberships, schools with limited enrolment, specialist industry reports with targeted distribution, or pilot publications you're testing before scaling up. While our pricing is optimised for volume, 250 copies still delivers professional quality at competitive rates. Many organisations find this quantity ideal—enough to meet distribution needs without over-ordering and warehousing excess stock.
Yes, we handle packaging and distribution to multiple addresses nationwide. Whether you need to send annual reports to 12 regional offices, prospectuses to 50 schools, or stakeholder communications to hundreds of members, we coordinate everything efficiently. Just provide your distribution list with addresses and quantities, and we'll package and dispatch appropriately. This service is particularly valuable for organisations without dedicated logistics resources or those wanting to simplify their publication workflow. You focus on content; we handle production and delivery.
Yes, our design team can assist with complete publication layout, file preparation, brand consistency checks, and ensuring your publication meets printing specifications. We also provide free pre-flight checks on all submitted files to identify potential issues before production. For file format, we need high-resolution PDF (300 DPI minimum) in CMYK colour mode with 3mm bleeds on all sides, all fonts embedded or outlined, and pages in correct reading order. We'll send you detailed artwork specifications and a pre-flight checklist when you request a quote. If your in-house team or agency provides files, our free pre-flight check catches issues early, saving time and avoiding costly reprints.
