Printing Catalogues

Hi,

I'm sure if any of you have shopped on the internet you have received a glossy thin paper mini-catalogue showcasing some of the items on offer from a website. Good examples of companies who do this are firebox, iwantoneofthose, boysstuff, and shops like burton, top shop, M&S etc. They are max size of A5 and maybe 20 pages. I'm trying to set the scene so you know what I'm talking about.

I was wanting to know does anyone have any suggestions where to get these done at a good price? They are made similar to local free magazines that do gig guides etc.

Thanks in advance.

Any web feed printer, one of my customers uses Acorn Web in Wakefield. they seem to produce a good product but no idea about costs, i know my customers spends about 750K with them. you will need to be looking at a large print run

Regards

You could try Wrightson's in Northampton 01604 812816 although not sure whether they handle really thin paper.

I'd get quotes from as many printers as you can to make sure you get the best price. I always send specs out to around 20 printers and you would be surprised by the difference in price you get. For example - 10,000 copies of an A4, 64 page, full colour brochure we had prices ranging from £5k to £10k+

I can give you some email addresses if you want.

I can't see it being the same spec as the one I mentioned though, not for that price.
