SEE IT IN CONTEXT
What are you making?
Folders
An A4 folder must be larger than A4 paper; quote its contents and capacity rather than just calling the folder A4.
Table cardsA mock fold catches upside-down panels before production.
Paper shopping bagsA bag should fit the packed product comfortably, including tissue or an inner box.
Gift sets and presentation boxesApprove the opening sequence and item fit before the final branded run.
COMPARE BEFORE DECIDING
Could binding suit the brief?
Binding joins the pages of a publication into an organised finished piece.
Is die cutting suitable for my project?
A checked cutting path or dieline is needed, with room for folds, trim and the structural requirements of the product. Share the material and artwork so suitability can be reviewed.
Can you confirm a price or turnaround?
A quotation follows review of the scope, quantity, material and artwork. Timing and specifications are confirmed for the individual project.
