Be aware of brochure printing lead times in order to receive your printed brochures on time. We explain to you what really determines the lead time of your brochures.
Standard and Express Turnaround
A standard print job will usually be dispatched within 3-5 working days from receipt of approved artwork. Express Print can be ordered at an extra cost for urgent jobs, usually same or next day and suitable for small to medium print runs and simple jobs.
When Artwork Readiness Matters
Any days spent correcting artwork, or converting it to a print-ready format, are included prior to production commencing. Supplying press-ready PDFs (with correct bleed, embedded fonts, etc. and CMYK colour space) will ensure that production can proceed without delay.
How Specification Affects Time
This is also why it is best to place orders for more complex printed brochures as early as possible.
Proofing Rounds Add Days
A physical proof will take an additional 2-3 days to be returned and if a change is made, then a further 2-3 days for the amended proof to be returned and so on for each subsequent change. On a repeat order with no changes, then a digital proof is the way to go to save time!
Planning Back from Your Deadline
Plan backwards from your event or mail date in working days and add a couple of working days to allow for any late slips up.
