Magazines, brochures, catalogues and annual reports, printed and bound here. The page count and the binding are settled before anything is quoted, because both change the price and the time it takes.
Decide the page count and how it should be bound. Both change the price, and neither can change once printing starts.
A page count has to divide by four, because a printed sheet folds into four pages. A brochure that is twenty-two pages in a document becomes twenty-four on the press, and it is cheaper to know that while the design is open than after it is approved.
Binding is the other decision. Stapled through the fold suits up to about forty pages and lies flat; glued along the spine suits more than that and gives a printed edge to carry the name. Which one it is changes the margins the design needs, so it is agreed at the start.
How we work
Every job is quoted in writing before it starts, so the price is agreed before any work is done.
The design is approved in writing before anything goes to press. Nothing prints on a verbal yes.
Confirmed upfront. If a date cannot be met, you hear that when you ask.
Design, proofing and printing happen in the same building, and the finished work is collected from the studio in Pathanamthitta.
A printed sheet folds into four pages, so the total is always a multiple of four. Twenty-two pages becomes twenty-four. Better to know that before the design is finished than after.
Stapled through the fold up to about forty pages, and it lies flat when open. Glued along the spine above that, which also gives you an edge to print the name on.
Yes. Design and press are in the same building, so the page size and the binding are settled once rather than renegotiated between two suppliers.
Also from the studio
Flex printing for shops, events and functions, printed and finished in the same building. A normal banner order is usually ready in about four hours.
Decide the size and how it will be fixed before you order. Both change the finishing.
Shop boards, name boards and frontage signage, designed to the space they have to sit on. The board is measured before anything is drawn.
Measure the space first. The size of the board is what the name has to be set across.
Visiting cards, letterheads and the everyday stationery a business hands over. Printed here, so a normal run is usually ready in about four hours.
Decide the finish and the quantity. Both move the price more than the design does.

Send the measurements, the quantity and your date. That is usually enough to quote a local job the same day.
