How it works

1. Select your booklet options, place your order and pay online.
2. After checkout, you'll be prompted to upload your design file.
3. We'll check your file for print suitability and send you a PDF proof before printing. This lets you check the final layout, page order, names, dates and wording before approving.
4. Once you approve your proof, we'll print, finish and dispatch your order.

The turnaround is usually 2–3 working days from proof approval.

The “number of pages” means the number of printed A5 sides in the finished booklet. For example, an 8-page booklet has 8 printed A5 pages.

Please note: a 4-page Order of Service is produced as one folded sheet of card, rather than a stapled booklet.

Not sure what to order? Email us your file and requirements and we'll advise before you place your order.

If you're not sure about something, feel free to email your file directly to us, and we'll get back to you with a quote and PDF proof. 

We need a ready-to-print file in simple A4 or A5 pages in reading order. We recommend using a minimum of font size 12. 

Please don't try to lay it out as a booklet (ie: putting 2 pages on 1 sheet), as we will do all the 'booklet making' on our end. 

This means that if you want an 8-page booklet, your document should have 8 pages. The number of pages must always be divisible by 4, so a 6-page document would need 2 blanks to make 8.

If you would like us to design your booklet (or even just the cover), we can do so for an additional £10 per page.  Please email us with your requirements.

Specifications

• Coated Silk card is smooth and white, with a slight shine to it. It's the most popular choice for printing, and the quality is excellent. 
• Uncoated card is a bond paper, with a plain natural 'paper' finish. It has more of a texture compared to silk, and is good for writing on. 
• 350gsm is our best card and suited to wedding invitations, special events, birthdays and menus
• 250gsm is a good compromise between price and thickness
• 170gsm is our most popular choice for children's parties
• All our paper is FSC-certified, from mixed and renewable resources. 
• All cards are printed in full colour and at excellent quality. The prices are the same even if your design is black & white only.

File Types

• Our ideal file type is a PDF saved with 'press quality' settings, set up with cropmarks and 3mm bleed. We have an artwork guide that shows how to save this from Adobe Software and Canva.
• Please keep all text at least 4mm away from the edge of the design. It's best not to use a font size smaller than 8.
• We can accept JPEG, TIFF, Microsoft Word / Powerpoint / Publisher.
• If you don't have a design, Canva is the quickest and easiest way to make something on your phone, and you can download a PDF to send us.
• We'll always check your file send you a PDF proof to approve before printing. 

Turnaround time

• Our standard printing turnaround time is 2-3 working days.  If the service is sooner, please let us know and we will prioritise your order.  If you are able to collect, we could even have it ready the same day.
