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.
The measurement comes first because the board size decides the layout. A name that sits comfortably across a wide frontage has to be set differently on a narrow one, and that is a design decision rather than a resizing.
Boards are drawn in the same building as the press, so the person laying one out already knows how it will be made. Quoted in writing, and collected from the studio.
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.
Measure the space first if you can. A measurement moves the job along faster than a design idea, because the layout is built on the board size.
Yes. An old board, a photograph of the frontage or a visiting card is enough to work from.
50% for new clients and for large orders, written into the quote at the start.
Also from the studio
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.
Wedding and function cards, designed and printed here, with the inserts set to match. Engagement, housewarming and anniversary cards are handled the same way.
Bring the names and dates in writing. Nothing prints before you have approved it.
Mementos, trophies and awards for functions, presentations and college events. Engraving is set from the text you give in writing.
Fix the engraving text and the quantity early. Both have to be final before production starts.
Start a job
Send the measurements, the quantity and your date. That is usually enough to quote a local job the same day.
