Good design sells. Fact. Bad design – or even 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 design. After all it’s not about how many items you distribute, it’s about how many responses you get.
We’re here to guide you through our easy process and help you better promote yourself. We can give you as much or as little help as you need. From the concept, to writing copy, choosing photograph, creating eye-catching artwork, map design and advert design. We offer a range of Design Services to suit every need and budget.
Our team are all well versed in marketing, and aren’t just here to sell you print. We’re here to help you win more business and there’s a lot more to that than the thick, silky finish to your leaflets!!! Book some creative time, in our Creative Lab with us to discuss your ideas and needs.

supplying your own artwork?#
|
We want the same thing that you want. We want your graphic files to print as intended with no fuss or unnecessary delay. Therefore, we have created a comprehensive File Supply Guide which tells you everything you need to know about supplying us with a graphic file. Before beginning to design it's important you read this guide, even if you're designing for the first time or a seasoned professional - our process may be different to what you were expecting.
With this in mind, have a think whether you need our File Checking Service, where we will perform extensive checks to ensure that your file complies with all our technical and production requirements. We take responsibility for the technical aspects of your file to ensure there are no delay's or unexpected results when we print your file - it is like an insurance policy! For full details see page 4 of our File Supply Guide.
File Checking Service:
Bronze - £20 Silver - £25 Gold - £35 Platinum - £45
Design Applications we accept:
Freehand 11 Quark 6.1 Photoshop CS4 Illustrator CS4 InDesign CS4 CorelDraw (save as Illustrator eps)
NB. We work on Mac's if you use a PC, convert all text to outlines
