Pricing Validity Period
Pricing for most far-east produced products are valid for a limited time due to fluctuating costs of materials and foreign exchange
Artwork Charges
Our artwork review is to check that the files you send are suitable for printing. The review does not cover any amendments or updates to your artwork. Re-supplying artwork for a second review will incur an additional charge of £35. We do offer an artwork support and graphic design service that is chargeable at our studio rate of £50 per hour.
Artwork and Templates
Please contact your Sales Manager for templates

Content Files can be supplied via online file share service (Hightail, Dropsend, Sendspace, WeTransfer), via your private FTP Upload service, via email (under 20mb) or via portable storage devices (USB, Hard Drive). We do not store/archive content masters. We strongly recommend issuing us duplicates of your original content files and not sending the originals.
Cancellation Charge
May apply if your order is cancelled after work has started
