As we're a low-cost business, we can’t individually assess your application, or make random decisions on which requests are for the worthiest causes.

We work with many charities and causes that realise that well-crafted design and professionally printed products aid their fundraising.

            Printing Questions

  • Do you print iron on transfers? Unfortunately, we don’t print iron on/sew on transfer. We only use direct to garment printing or embroidery to apply your design to whatever you want it to go on.
  • Do you do photocopying? We don’t photocopy, we only print!
  • Do you still print plans? We have stopped printing plans now, but we can still print anything else!
  • What is GSM? GSM is essentially the thickness of the paper, so the higher the GSM the thicker the paper. GSM stands for grams per square metre. Some examples of GSM are, 150GSM is paper, 250GSM is a thin card and 350 GSM is a thick card like a postcard.
  • Can you check my artwork? For a small fee, our Graphic Design team can check your artwork for colours, bleed, ticks, if it is the correct size for print, and whether the images are a good quality. Because of the nature of the information we can’t check spelling, content, grammar, email addresses, dates and times, VAT and company registration numbers.
  • What is bleed and why do I need it? A commercial printing press cannot print to the edge of a sheet of paper, instead multiple products are printed on much larger sheets of paper and then cut down to size. It is impossible to cut exactly to the edge of your design so a little overprint (or bleed as it is called) is required on each side. For all print jobs we require bleed, this is usually 3mm.
