We brief multiple printers on identical specifications so you can compare like with like, and explain what each price difference actually buys.
Print management
The printed report, handled end to end.
Design is only finished when the boxes arrive. We manage quotations, stock, proofing, press and delivery — so the printed report matches what was approved on screen and lands on the day it's needed.

The stage where reports usually go wrong.
Approved on screen, disappointing in the hand.
Print problems are rarely dramatic. A cover that scuffs the moment it's handled. Photography that prints heavier than it looked. A spine that cracks on a 200-page document. Delivery two days after the AGM.
All of it is avoidable, and all of it comes down to decisions made before artwork is released — stock weight, binding method, colour management, ink coverage and a realistic schedule.
Because we designed the file, we know exactly how it should reproduce. We stay with the job through proofing and press so the object you unpack is the one you signed off.
Decisions worth getting right.
A handful of specification choices determine how a report feels, how long it survives and what it costs. We advise on each one against your budget rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
- Stock weight, finish and opacity matched to page count and imagery
- Binding chosen for how the document will actually be used
- Cover treatments — matt lamination, spot UV, foil, uncoated boards
- Colour management and ink coverage checked before release
- FSC-certified and recycled options for sustainability reporting
- Quantities split between launch, stakeholders and reserve stock

Digital proofs as standard, wet proofs or attendance at press where colour accuracy genuinely matters.
Delivery managed
Single or multi-location delivery scheduled around AGMs, launches and publication dates, with contingency built in.
Printed publications
Reports and publications we designed and saw through to press.
