Finish

‘Finishing’ is the catch-all term for those extra touches and techniques that bind your printed materials together and give them that extra lift. It’s an area that’s packed full of technical jargon, so if anything foxes you, our experts will be happy to explain it in plain English. Our finishing service breaks down into main areas:

Binding your materials

This covers everything from collating and numbering the materials, trimming and folding them and then fixing them together – using techniques ranging from simple stapling to perfect binding (of the sort you see in most paperback books).

Adding the finishing touches

There are countless finishing techniques that you can use to add character to your printed materials, ranging from special varnishes to embossing the logo on your business card or brochure cover. We’ve outlined some of the most common options on this page.

Case study – British Airways Holidays

Every year, thousands of holidaymakers book their breaks through British Airways holidays. We help produce the training manuals that ensure BA’s staff is among the most knowledgable and professional in the business. As soon as the artwork is emailed to our centre, we print and wire-bind the 50 page documents, a technique that makes for a hardwearing but also attractive finish. They are then sent back to the client in double-quick time.
