You can't judge print off a screen. So rather than send you a PDF and hope for the best, we'll put a pack of the real thing in the post: pieces we've printed and mailed for other businesses, on the same stock, folded and finished the same way yours would be.
Fill in your details below and we'll post it out this week.
UK addresses only. One pack per business.
Everything in the pack has been through our presses and out through the door on a live job. It's the quickest way to see the standard you'd be buying.
Full colour, on the card stocks we use most, so you can see how the print sits and how much weight there is behind it.
Made up the way it would land on a desk, envelope and all, so you can judge how it reads before anyone opens it.
The folding and finishing side of things, which is usually where a cheap job gives itself away.
Matt, gloss, uncoated and a range of weights, so you're choosing by feel rather than off a spec sheet.
We don't put a price list in the pack, because we don't have one. Every job is costed on your numbers, your format and your postage, so you get a real figure rather than a headline rate that changes later.
Most people only find out their mailing looks cheap once 10,000 of them are already in the post. By then it's too late to change the stock, the fold or the finish.
The pack costs you nothing and takes half a minute to ask for. Worst case, you've got something to compare your current supplier against.
It sits on the desk, gets picked up again, gets passed to someone else. Here's how long the average piece of direct mail lasts in a UK household or office.
