Green and clean

We love to print, but not when it creates waste and pollution. We recycle 98% of everything that can be used again, and send the remaining 2% to become refuse-derived fuel instead of going to the landfill. We're committed to leading the industry in best environmental practices that we keep on improving.

Paper options

Silk, Gloss and Uncoated
in 120 to 350gsm

Silk Silk coated paper has a low surface sheen and luxurious feel. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear bright and defined. The overall look is more low-key than gloss coated paper.

Gloss Gloss coated paper has a high surface shine and very smooth finish. Printed colours 'pop up' and appear extra vibrant, making it a favourite choice for promotional items. Ink dries well on gloss paper, so you're unlikely to need lamination.

Uncoated Our uncoated paper has a soft finish and tactile quality. Because it's more absorbent than coated paper, printed inks appear flatter. It's the best choice for stationery as it's easy to write on.

Perfect bound A neat type of binding used for paperback books and magazines. The spine is held together with adhesive and a paper cover. It's suitable for documents with 20 to 240 pages.

Finishes explained - Matt lamination gives a soft slightly dull finish, giving a sophisticated, modern look. Gloss lamination gives a high gloss finish that is not achieved with a gloss card. A lamination is recommended on solid colours or images for vibrancy (and protection!).

2 to 4 day turnaround

Packaging - All orders are carefully packed in plain, unbranded white packaging, so you can send products direct to clients. We pack using shrink wrap where it's needed, for protection during transit.

Express exceptions
Express is not available on Perfect bound documents.

Job tracking - You can see where your order is in real time by checking 'My Account'. The job status screen clearly shows whether it's in the print queue, being printed, or on its way to you. After it has been shipped, you can track your order's exact location in the tracking tab. No more pacing the corridors!

iPhone App - Keep tabs on your order wherever you are, by downloading the printed.com iphone app. Android version coming soon!
