NEW Stapled Booklets

Summary:

With our sophisticated Stitchliner Mk III booklet-making system Flexpress can make light work of booklets up to 72 pages whether portrait or landscape. As with all of our products, our booklets are printed individually meaning no batching, ganging or 'average' ink settings and putting you in control of the materials you want, rather than those we'll tell you to have. Jobs are colour matched to FOGRA proofs and printed to ISO 12647-2 international colour standards at prices you'd expect to pay to printing companies more accustomed to printing multiple jobs together.

Prepress:

Whether or not you request a proof, all supplied artwork files undertake our rigorous 10 point file check to ensure your printed job turns out exactly as you intend. Naturally we'll alert you if something isn't right. Using sophisticated software, files are automatically imposed ready for printing in the most effective way to minimise waste. Every job is sent to print along with a FOGRA colour-matched proof to ensure high levels of colour accuracy.

Sizes:

Our booklets are available in most popular sizes.

Please note: if specifying landscape booklets in either A6 or DL sizes only, the maximum thickness of booklet we can produce is 3mm. Additionally, due to being unable to get the stitching heads in such close proximity, A6 landscape booklets only will be stitched with one centre staple only. If in doubt please contact us prior to placing your order.

Material:

With a wide range of gloss, silk and uncoated papers and boards at almost every weight to choose from, you can pick your preferred cover material and mix with your preferred inner pages to give you the exact choice to suit your clients needs.

High Definition Printing:

Every job at Flexpress is printed using the finest technology available. You wont receive any products printed on beefed-up photocopiers from us - another reason we back everything with our total satisfaction guarantee. Our booklets are printed either lithographically using LED UV inks or using HP Indigo offset which is arguably the finest digital technology available.

Precision Finishing:

Our automated Stitchliner booklet making system turns flat sheets into professionally finished booklets. Both systems use an ingenious scoring device to score the pages before folding and saddle-stitching to ensure a sharp spine that stays flatter. Each booklet is then automatically machine trimmed on all three edges before being packed in extra-strong, double-walled, unbranded cartons that will stand up to the rigours of national carriage.

Please note: when folded, fibre-cracking along the crease of paper is a natural characteristic and becomes more apparent when continual tone ink coverage is present. The thicker the cover, and heavier the ink coverage the more noticeable this becomes. Flexpress pre-crease all covers over 200gsm to minimise the effect of this problem but it is only possible to eliminate the issue completely by laminating the outer cover. Unless laminating is specified, please note Flexpress are otherwise unable to take responsibility for what is ultimately a naturally occurring phenomenon.

All orders are packed in super-strong boxes, custom made especially for us to give your job the best chance of surviving the rigours of overnight carriage. Your job is then dispatched using reputable national carriers on a next working day service. This will usually arrive by 5pm although please be aware once goods have left our premises we have no influence on when they are delivered. If required, you can choose to upgrade to a timed delivery for additional cost at checkout.
