ABOUT

Poster printing for Reading, without the print shop

Reading is standard UK delivery: included, tracked, usually two to three working days after dispatch. Prints ordered before 3pm on a working day leave the same day; framed prints take one to three working days to make first.

Reading orders during the working day and asks where to have it sent. The office is the reliable answer for a frame, since someone is there to take a box; a print in a tube goes through most letterboxes or to a safe place. The guide below covers the choice.

The paper is 240gsm giclée in matte, satin or gloss at one price; frames are Black, White or Oak pine with plexiglass, ready to hang. No minimum, three or more prints to one address 20% off, and prices set for the fifteen thousand sellers who print with us rather than for walk-in customers.

Homes
Photos, digital downloads, children's drawings, gig posters. One print, no minimum, delivered to the door.
Businesses
Office art, event signage, exhibition and market prints. Pay per order, no account manager required.
Sellers
More than 5,000 shops print with us every day, which is why a single poster costs so little.
THE PAPER

Paper you can feel

Every poster is printed on 240gsm archival paper, FSC-certified, with giclée-quality inks. It's the paper our sellers get rave reviews for, and it's the same for a single print as for a thousand. Three finishes, all the same price.

Gloss
Bold, vibrant colours with a reflective shine. The one for photos.
Satin
Smooth, subtle sheen with minimal glare. Lifts colour without the shine.
Matte
Classic flat finish, no reflections. The choice for art prints and anything behind glass.

Printing in Reading: your questions

Can I have it delivered to my office?

Yes. Put the company name and your name in the address; it goes to reception and the tracking shows when it's signed for. The best option for a framed print.

Do you deliver on Saturdays?

Prints sent by Royal Mail can arrive on a Saturday; framed prints go by courier and usually arrive on working days.

Can I get a VAT receipt?

Yes. The order confirmation is an itemised receipt with VAT shown.

Will a tube fit through a letterbox?

Usually not; A4 and A3 go flat in a mailer that does, A2 and up are in a tube that's left in a safe place or with a neighbour, which the tracking tells you.

Poster printing near Reading

Delivery covers Reading and Berkshire, including Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Henley, Maidenhead and Basingstoke, at the same price. Nearby: Oxford and London. Across the country: the UK.

Home or office: where to have a print delivered

Unframed A4 and A3 prints travel flat in a stiff mailer that fits most letterboxes, so home is fine even if nobody's in. A2 and larger come in a tube, which doesn't fit, and the carrier leaves it in a safe place or with a neighbour; if you haven't got either, the office is better.

Framed prints come by courier in a box and want signing for, which is the case for sending them to work: put the company name and yours in the address, and reception takes it. The tracking emailed to you shows the day and the hour.

If it's a surprise for someone at home, send it to the office and carry it in; nothing on the parcel says what's inside or what it cost.
