Design
The quality of your finished job depends greatly on the careful attention it receives before it reaches the printing stage. We work with you from the concept stage, producing artwork from an existing design you have or creating artwork from scratch from a brief or brand image you wish to create.
With many years of experience, we ensure a creative solution to your design needs. We provide a personal service, with continuous communication and liaising with proofs to get your artwork perfect. We can either send you your artwork in an appropriate format for you to use or we can print, finish and deliver it to you.
Whether it is print design, logo design, or bespoke package design, AYP has you covered.
Foiling
Requires no custom dies reducing the set-up costs considerably and is an enhancement that bonds the metallic foil to card or paper materials.
Foil is a handsomely crisp and iridescent surface finish, which adds bold contrast making the foiled content stand out from the rest of the product.
Adding foil to business cards is one of the common requests of clients who want to create a statement and a sense of stature and extravagance; it produces a sophisticated touch to your product and adds emphasis to the foiled areas.
Foil is transferred through heat onto the surface of your chosen stock; this makes the area sparkle with a dazzling metallic finish.
Foiling is ideal for bringing that added embellishment to most products including wedding stationery
Die Cutting
Technological advancements in die cutting have kept it as one of the fastest and most accurate methods of large-scale manufacturing for a range of products. The most common products created through die-cutting include marketing and promotional material, shop displays, and packaging.
With Intricate and accurate cutting, creasing, and perforating gives us the ability to create endless amounts of excitingly unique products. No matter the finish you are trying to attain you’ll be able to achieve it. From providing the perfect cut angle to engraving, our die-cutting services will cover all your requirements.
Laminating
Laminating protects your documents from moisture, dirt, weather, and other sources of contamination. It is ideal for menus, maps, certificates, signs, glossy photos, and instruction sheets.
Lamination film comes in gloss or matt. Gloss lamination enhances the colours whilst matt lamination can slightly dull off the colours.
Lamination takes place by using a polyester substrate coated with low-melt copolymer adhesive, this helps protect prints from damage and adds strength to the print.
Wiro Binding
Wire binding (or wire-o-binding) is commonly found when a combination of heavy and light stocks are all used together on the same book intermittently.
Because wire binding is durable and allows for full and flat book opening and closing, it is useful for binding items like calendars, swatch books, notebooks, annual reports, diaries, presentation books, and unusual custom publications. Wire binding is available in a range of colours, finishes, and sizes, to suit your needs.
Spiral Binding
While Wiro Binding and Spiral Binding might be mistaken for each other with no significant difference, we can assure you there is. Additionally, there is also a price difference between the two binding styles.
The largest difference in the practical use between Wiro Binding and Spiral Binding is that coil binding needs to be threaded and screwed in from either the top or bottom of the book to be bound or removed. That means there is no easy way for a page to come loose other than to tear the page out.
