Frequently asked questions

How many pages can a stapled booklet have?

A stapled booklet's page count must divide by four, counting every side including the cover. Instant estimates cover 8 to 48 pages; longer booklets and perfect binding can be quoted.

What is a self cover?

A self cover uses the same paper as the inside pages. A heavier 250gsm or 350gsm silk cover feels more substantial and can be laminated.

Do you print short runs?

Yes. Instant estimates start at 25 booklets, which suits programmes, small events and short-run brochures.

Is the price on the form final?

No. Where we hold a saved price you'll see an indicative estimate. It is not a binding quotation. We confirm the final all-in price and delivery by email, and nothing is ordered or paid until you accept that quote.

How do I send my artwork?

You can upload your files with your request (PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, EPS or AI, up to 50 MB per file), or choose to send artwork later. We check your files before anything is printed, and artwork is only shared with the trade printer once you accept your quote.
