So you have the design bug – that’s great! It’s probably time to make sure you’ve created a SNAP account. That way you can take elements from one product design and use them to create another.

Let’s say you’ve designed and printed some brochures in A6, A4, A5 or DL. Now you can easily turn them into a poster (in A3, A1, A0 or A2). There’s also an opportunity to create pull-up banners, flyers or business cards.

And don’t forget: we also print stickers in rectangle, square or round.

Coated papers are available in two finishes – glossy (shiny and smooth) and matte (flat and lusterless). Coated glossy papers reflect the light evenly so they are suitable for almost all types of printing jobs. Glossy papers have a good ink holdout, which is important for creating sharp, bright images. If you are not sure which finish is the best for your job please contact your local store for assistance.

Sure! Although business cards aren’t a necessity for everyone like they were in the past, they’re still a very popular product.

Whatever your clients need to contact you. Some people opt for just their name and email address, while others like to go into a lot more detail. We recommend keeping it brief and focussing on a great design.

We know that different people like to work in different ways, so we have a few options for you to choose between. You can either upload a completed design (PDF, EPS or Ai formats), collaborate with one of our in-house designers, or create the design yourself using our Design with Canva tool. The entire process makes for a seamless experience. And if there’s an issue with the file that could affect print quality, one of our in-store team members will flag it with you.

Short answer – paper or cardboard. And in those two categories, there are a range of different thicknesses (called weights).

Long answer – the type of paper used for different purposes is expressed in weight. In countries following the European system, it’s measured in grams per square metre (gsm, g/m2 or simply g), while in the US system, it’s in pound (lb).

The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and similar stationery) is generally between 60 to 200 gsm (20 to 70 lb) and is called paper or text stock. Anything heavier than this is considered card stock, ie. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.
