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

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.

Look for the Artwork Package logo next to each item and refer to our separate “Artwork Package Guide” for details of our low prices (contact us to get your free copy). These are the minimum we’d expect to charge.

Colour Options

On all of our print products you'll see guides letting you know what colour options are available on it (Single sided, double sided ect.) Here's a quick break-down of what they all mean;

Disk Handholding — Your Safety Net!

If you want to design your job yourself, download a copy of our File Supply Guide (or we can post you a copy). Setting up a file for print is a complicated thing though. We want to make sure you don’t screw up and end up having to bin your print. Our low-cost Handholding Service is your guarantee that your file will print right, first time. And once you’ve correctly supplied a few files the printing.com way, we may even let you become a “File Risker” – see the File Supply Guide for the full story.

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.
