Our Handouts are printed Full Colour on 350gm Triple Coated Matt Art Card. The face side is High Gloss coated for maximum impact.
A wide variety of finishing can be carried out on Handouts, from creasing and perforating, to round cornering and drilling, making them perfect for a huge range of applications, such as Table Menus and Swing Tickets, as well as their traditional application in Night Club Promotion.
Bespoke Sizes
If your particular size is not detailed simply specify your requirements and price as the next size up. E.g. For a 75mm x 75mm Square Handout simply price as a Standard (132mm x 76mm). We make no additional charge for cutting down to a Bespoke size.
Special Shapes
We can die cut Handouts of A5 size and upwards in to any shape you can think of! One off Die Cutting cost will be incurred. This cost is incurred only once. On subsequent runs we can use the same forme again. Please submit your design for us to price the forme required.
Turn your Full Colour Handouts in to a simple but effective Fridge Magnet. Our self adhesive magnets are supplied loose for affixing to your Handouts. They are 12mm wide x 50mm long. Whilst being exceptionally strong magnets they have an ultra low profile of just 1.5mm.
Please Note: We recommend applying two magnets to 2/3 A4 and A4 size Handouts.
Printing Technology
Stochastic Screening is used in our booklet printing so the 'dots' associated with conventional printing are eliminated.
We offer Full Colour Print on several different standard stocks. These have been selected for their exceptional quality which complements our print perfectly.
Our 115gm range, 150gm range, 200gm range, and our 280gm product range, are all printed on triple coated high gloss or silk material.
Samples of all these materials are are available, both printed and unprinted, please get in touch if you would like a Sample Pack
Paper Options
In addition to the standard stocks we also offer the option of printing on a huge variety of other papers and boards.
As well as conventional Full Colour Printing (formed by the combination of four colours) we are one of the few printers in the country able to offer Hexachrome (six colour printing) and Metal FX (Metallic Printing) on our standard stocks.
Hexachrome can produce exceptional results, particularly for jobs which call for vivid oranges and greens. It involves the combination of six colours, rather than four in conventional printing, to produce the full rainbow spectrum.
Metal FX is a relatively new process. We have passed strict criteria to be licensed to use the system. Metal FX allows any number of Metallic colours to be produced on the same page with Full Colour.
Finally, if the particular size you require is not detailed we can produce bespoke sizes. Simply price the next size up. E.g. for a 279mm x 198mm video sleeve price as an A4 210mm x 297mm and specify your finished size requirement. We will trim to size free of charge.
