Artwork & Other Services
GET WHAT YOU WANT...
ONLY PAY FOR WHAT YOU NEED
We don’t build every eventuality into our low printing prices – we think it’s best you choose what you need…
Artwork
The latest software has really clever wizards which let you knock up a design in no time. But design isn’t about knowing which buttons to press. It’s about creating the mood, delivering the message and making the sale. Forgive us for sounding rude, but, if you want to look professional, leave it to the professionals. Good design sells. Fact. Bad design – or even just average design – may do more damage to your business than you might care to think. Trust us. We’d recommend you invest at least a third of your budget in sorting out some decent artwork. After all, it’s not about how many items you distribute, it’s about how many responses you get. Our design fees are probably a lot lower than you think.
Carriage
Your order will arrive in store, together with many other orders. This consolidation keeps our costs down and means you can pick up in-store free of charge. If you’d like your job delivering straight to you – no problem. See the delivery & collection options.
Proofing
If we’re creating artwork for you, it’s essential that you thoroughly check your design before we print it. We include your first colour laser proof in many of our artwork packages (if you want more, there’s a small charge). These are great for checking layout, but you shouldn’t rely on the colours. If you think you need a more accurate colour proof, we’d recommend ordering a set of business cards. At just £49+VAT, these are the most cost-effective way of “previewing” your final job.
VAT
Most of our customers are VAT registered, so it makes sense to show our prices excluding VAT. You’ll need to add it, except for leaflets, mini brochures, booklets and promotional cards, which are all zero-rated. If you’re a registered charity and have a Charity Advertising Certificate, you may also qualify for zero-rating on certain items. See www.hmrc.gov.uk for full details.
