THE SPEC

Capabilities & specifications.

A baseline of what we routinely print and finish for corporate literature — the spec list buyers compare against when shortlisting a premium brochure printer. Press time and finishing line are the same that runs our cartons; the difference is the output is flat-print, not a 3D structure. Anything outside this range, ask.

END-TO-END, IN-HOUSE

Under one roof.

Corporate literature runs through two production stages, both in the same building. The B1 press lays down the show face — colour-critical, in-line UV coating, accelerated drying. The finishing line then takes the printed sheets through UV spot, foil, emboss, lacquer, or die-cut as the cover spec calls for. Same press, same line, same Stockport factory as our cartons.

“[ Testimonial placeholder — typically 30–60 words from a brand or marketing manager who commissioned a corporate literature run: what they ordered (brochure, look-book, annual report, capability deck, presenter folder), what made it harder than usual (colour-critical brand match, foil/emboss specification, short-run premium cover, multi-page binding), what we delivered, what they took away. Aim for a quote that names a measurable outcome (cover finish held the brand, board-meeting deadline hit, multi-region rollout) rather than a generic ‘great service’. ]”

Common questions.

What kinds of corporate literature do you print?

We print brochures, look-books, annual reports, capability decks, sales literature, single-sheet items, folded leaflets, and presenter folders — printed brand collateral that doesn’t fold into a carton. Every job runs on the same B1 5-colour press and finishing line that produces our premium cartons, in our 40,000 sq ft Stockport factory.

Do you bind multi-page brochures and reports in-house?

[TBC — confirm in-house binding scope: saddle-stitch, perfect-bind, PUR-bind, wire-bind. If we run any of these in-house, name them; for the rest, frame as trade-bound through long-standing partner binders so the buyer still gets a single quote, single timeline, single point of contact. Update this answer once Gordon confirms the scope.]

What cover finishes can you apply?

Same finishing line as our premium cartons — UV spot, high-gloss UV lacquer, water-based emulsion, in-line embossing and debossing, foil [TBC]. Soft-touch lamination, drip-off varnish, and other premium covers [TBC — confirm full finish range]. Cover finish is where corporate literature earns its premium tier; we’ll spec to the brand brief.

What's the minimum order quantity for a corporate literature run?

[TBC — corporate literature is typically lower-MOQ than carton runs; boardroom-tier capability decks (~25–100 copies), sales-team brochures (~250–1000), and mass-market literature (multi-thousand) are all routinely handled. Confirm typical MOQ tiers per format once Gordon supplies the figures.]

What's a typical lead time from brief to despatch?

Flat-print corporate literature runs faster than bound work — most jobs move from approved artwork and stock to plate within [X] working days, then into print, finish, and pack scheduling. Total brief-to-despatch timeline depends on run quantity, cover finish, binding (if any), and current press scheduling — we share a timeline with every quote.

Need a brochure that holds the brand on the cover?

Send us a brief, an artwork file, or just a format, a page count, and a finish in mind. We’ll come back with a quote, a sample timeline, and a press slot.
