Whether you have a good idea of what you require, or want to start from a blank canvas - there are a few things we need to sort out before we start.

 

First of which is the size of booklet. All items are A5 sized and can range from a single piece of card (single or double-sided) through to 4, 8, 12 or 16 pages.

 

Next will be how many pictures you wish to use. A certain number of pictures are standard, based upon the number of pages the booklet contains. The print-quality of your pictures will be checked by us before proceeding and any issues will be flagged. You can add as many pictures as you wish for a modest extra cost each.

​

We can also scan from your photos if required. If you wish to use any, supplementary imagery can be sourced from elsewhere, as long as copyright is not infringed.

​

We will work with you on a one-to-one basis via email. As many proofs as you need will be sent to you until you are 100% happy. You can add as much input on the design along the way as you feel is necessary, and we will endeavour to turn the work around as quickly as possible.

 

 Once the artwork has been completed, you have signed it off, confirmed how many copies are required and made payment, it will go to print. Items are printed onto silk stock - 350gsm for cards and folded card, 300gsm for the outer cover and 170gsm inside pages for booklets. It is suggested that five working days be allowed between sending off to print and taking delivery, to allow for any issues.

​

Once printed, the items can be delivered directly to any address, whether it be to your home or your funeral director.
