Production Workflow
Common printing papers, selected cover cards, lamination materials and popular Wire-O colours may be available subject to current stock. The correct Wire-O diameter must be matched to the finished book thickness.
Partially concealed Wire-O books require more preparation than standard exposed Wire-O books because the cover must be accurately planned, printed, creased, folded and aligned. Selected urgent projects may be expedited subject to material, artwork, quantity and current production availability.
Selected simple or prototype jobs may sometimes qualify for same-day production when artwork is approved, all required materials are available and the production schedule permits. Please confirm with Printlab PJ before promising a same-day collection deadline.
Delivery can be arranged for suitable completed orders. Charges depend on parcel dimensions, weight and destination.
Customers can collect completed orders from Printlab Ara Damansara after receiving confirmation that the job is ready.
