For a long time now, alongside our programme of events and books we publish and distribute, we have been taking on printing and binding commissions where we bring our experience and skills to bear on other people’s projects. We can produce screenprinted wedding invitations, orders of service, Christmas cards, event flyers, corporate invitations and presentation documents, fine art prints on a very wide range of papers, posters, paperback books, hardback books, pamphlets, albums, print portfolios, slip-cases, solander boxes, post-bindings, Japanese style bindings… and any other printed or bound matter you wish to attempt. We have suppliers for a wide range of papers and cloths that you can choose from.

We can work from your finished designs or help to guide you through the process from the faintest contradictory ideas scrawled on the back of an envelope. We have no standard designs. And if the solution you are looking for isn’t catered for completely by the equipment in our own workshop, we can also manage the project as a whole, bringing in other processes and design partners from our extended family.

Below are some examples of commissions undertaken to date. If you also look at the bookshelf on our homepage you will see our catalogue of published works that show you what we can do.

We executed this architectural practice’s design for a presentation document as a Japanese-bound book. We sewed clothing name labels across the covers and continued the stitch into the spine of the book. A plastic pocket at the back including samples is also sewn in.

“Thank you both for your work on the books, they look stunning.” Hawkins Brown, Architects

We produced a hardback and paperback edition of Sarah Mayers’ poetry for her parents to distribute to her friends and family as a celebration of her life after she passed away.

We took the basic text files and executed the typesetting, printing, and binding, in close consultation with their choices of material and style. Wonderful illustrations were provided by Geof and we screenprinted them in silver. We have produced these books in short runs on demand.

“We are really pleased with both the hard and paperbacks, you have done a super job. We especially like the colour of the covers, the quality of the paper and the subtle way of including the illustrations.” Geof and Elizabeth Mayers

Design studio sparks created this A3 board game Christmas Card for their client base and to advertise their services. We consulted with them on how their design could be executed with the silkscreen process and printed the work on a double layer of greyboard we stuck together to form a 4mm thickness.

“We liked the retro style” Iconeye online magazine

We produced these two orders of service with two different approaches to fit the couple’s needs.

This red A6 one was produced to fit a jacket pocket. We did the typesetting, drew the rose motif, and bound it with a beautiful pamphlet stitch. The interior is laserprinted and the exterior screenprinted in white on a red textured paper produced using windpower!

We produced the covers for this A5 teal order of service , again screenprinted in white, but this time to the client’s ready design. They also printed the insides themselves and stitched them. For this reason we allowed a 1.5mm gap around the edge to ensure that the pages inside wouldn’t be proud of the finished cover.

We designed and printed this wedding invitation for a couple looking for a contemporary style, like a postcard, to reflect their interest in the life outdoors

This wedding invite was printed from the couple’s handwritten notes, it doesn’t have to be on computer for us to print it. We also organised accompanying button badges for the reception.

This wedding invitation was printed and folded to the designers specifications from their finished designs. We also advised the couple on the range of colourful papers at our disposal, far more diverse than available at most wedding stationers or printers.

“They look brilliant!  I am really excited about sending them out.” Katherine Van Berckel, bride-to-be

This was an A5 one-sided wedding invitation executed from a drawing done by the bride, handed to us in the pub.

This invitation was printed in silver and pink on brown paper. There was also a vellum coloured alternative. We can print a proportion of the invites with different text at no extra cost, allowing you to invite some people to the reception and others to just the service.
“The most beautiful invitation I’ve seen all year” Ruth, a recipient.

We printed these carol service invitations for a Hackney church, printing a translucent white on dark blue to achieve a subtle tonal difference between front and back. This is one of the advantages of silkscreen printing.

We can also print large flat stock prints for art galleries and fine art projects. We printed this A2 poster for an Aberdeen artist collective.

If what you want to try isn’t represented here, remember these aren’t standard designs, we’ve got a history of working these things out.
