Standard delivery is next day between 8am and 6pm. However, we can also offer pre-noon/pre-10am or Saturday delivery options. We can provide full tracking information upon request.

What’s your typical turnaround time for bespoke signage?
Turnaround times depend on the size and complexity of your project. Simple print jobs can be completed within 24 hours, while larger signage installations may take a little longer. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process, so you know exactly what to expect.
Design, branding & artwork
Do you offer design support if I don’t have artwork ready?
Yes. Our design team can create artwork from scratch or refine what you already have. We’ll make sure everything is print‑ready, aligned with your brand and suitable for the materials you’ve chosen.
Can you design my signage or prints?
We certainly can. We can design a new logo, branding for stickers or bespoke package, your advertising materials such as flyers, and designs for all types of signage. To ensure the process is as smooth as possible, we ask all new clients to complete a Creative Brief Document to help ascertain the look you want to achieve. Creating designs for you costs just £35 per hour. Read more about our design services.
Which file types can I send my artwork for you to print from?
So that we can print directly from your artwork, we accept the following file types:
- high-resolution PDF file
- .eps file (ideally with all text outlined)
- .psd file (ideally with all text outlined)
If you’re not sure which file type to send, just give us a call, and we can help.
How can I send a large file?
Some email providers don’t allow you to send files over a certain size, so the best way to send us any large files containing photos, images or digital artwork is via our WeTransfer link.
Can you match the colours of my existing branding?
Yes, we can. If you know the Pantone or CMYK reference, then we can colour-match from this. If you don’t know the exact colour reference, that’s also fine, as we can print several colour swatch samples for you to choose from. Ink colours can vary when printed onto different media. For example, the same blue colour may look slightly darker when printed onto a flag material compared to when printed onto a rigid sign.
Do you offer a proofing service, as I’m keen to look as professional as possible?
Yes, we highly recommend that all work is proofread, since the smallest mistakes have the potential to impact your business. Before we print anything, we’ll send you a proof for your approval. Our experienced team will also proofread your wording before sending your artwork over. We’ll check for spelling, grammar and tweak sentences to improve the flow. Your proof will show print areas, dimensions and layouts and give you a chance to double-check that any phone numbers, addresses, etc, are correct, before you sign it off and commit to print.
Ordering & invoicing
How do I place an order?
It couldn’t be easier. All our products are bespoke and made-to-order, so the best way is to give us a call or drop us an email with your requirements, and we’ll get a quote over to you within the hour (during working hours). Once you’ve approved the quote and arranged payment (unless you’ve set up a credit account with us), we’ll get straight to work on your print or signage.
