Magazine Printers

Hi Guys,

My company are planning on setting up an event at the end of this year / start of next (still really early stages so cant give anything away at the mo) we are basically looking a magazine sort of printing company that would be able to knock up some good looking A5 sized mini magazines to give out at our event.

Because we plan on giving these away at the minute we'd like to find someone who could make these really cheap without losing any quality or "kerb appeal"

any help or points in the right direction would be great!

    try minprint on the castlereagh road and ask for Billy Gough he might be able to help you out. They have done good quality stuff for me in the past and are very reasonable friendly and helpful.

    thanks for the advice, TBH I already knew most of it anyway as Im a photographer and when it comes to gloss paper, thickness and design this is pretty much in my field (I do some freelance work for UK magazines as well as run my own business)

    Its good to see though that someone in your profession is able to come up with the same things I had intially been thinking, least I now know Im not chosing anything wrong!

    At the minute its hard to give numbers as to how many I'd need as the project is still in planning stages. As a rough guide Id be looking quotes on 250, 500, 1000 and when Im ready to purchase them I'll obviously be able to give better figures. At the minute I don't even know how many pages I would need either, Im thinking maybe 40 pages as a rough start out.

    If you could give me a rough quote that would be great, and in the meantime I'll keep checking around

  • Wee click if you want to send through what you are currently being quoted that would be great. Cant see it above! Must be my bad eyesight. It might be too small a run for Bairds and G&H. We deal with both daily
  • Actually where did my post go?

    You probably broke some rule

    perhaps advertising or leaving personnel information

    Found an old post of yours
