Corporate printing

Corporate print is the work a business hands to a customer: a quotation, a contract, a brochure, an annual report. It carries the brand further than most advertising does, and it is usually where inconsistent colour and paper first become obvious.

Businesses and institutions that produce stationery, reports or branded documents regularly and need them to stay consistent.

How we work through corporate printing

Right stock, right finish, right price

Paper weight and finish change both how a document feels and what it costs. Two printers quoting the same job on different stock are not really quoting the same job, so we write the specification first and quote against it.

  • Stock, weight and finish agreed before comparison
  • Printed and uncoated options explained, not assumed
  • Quantities planned around how the material is actually used

Documents that survive daily use

A form, a delivery book or a folder is handled hundreds of times. These are specified for writing surfaces, binding and durability rather than for how they look on a shelf, because the practical failures are what annoy people.

Proof before the run

Once a job is printed, the whole run carries any mistake. We provide proofs for approval, arrange a hard proof where colour is critical, and check quantity, finish and packaging on delivery against the specification that was agreed.

  • Digital proofs for layout, hard proofs where colour matters
  • A signed-off sample before full production
  • Delivery checked against the agreed specification

What you receive

  • A written specification: stock, weight, finish, quantity
  • Artwork prepared and preflighted for the printing method
  • Proofs for approval before production
  • Production and delivery coordination
  • A quality check against the agreed specification
  • The specification kept on file for exact reorders

Questions we are often asked

  • Can you print from files another designer produced?

    Yes. We check the files first: colour space, resolution, bleed, fonts and trim. If something will print badly we tell you before the job goes to press, rather than after the run arrives.

  • We already have a printer we trust. Does that work?

    Yes. We can prepare and preflight the artwork and hand it to your printer with a full specification, or manage the whole job. Many clients keep their supplier and use us for the specification and file preparation.

  • How do reorders work?

    The specification, files and approved proofs stay on file, so a reprint matches the original instead of drifting. That is the main reason corporate printing looks consistent from one year to the next.
