Programme booklet printing UK

Your printed Programme front cover

You might be producing a programme for a specific one-off event, or perhaps a series of activities. Either way, you will want to grab the readers attention right from the outset. Fortunately, we have the programme design and print experience to help.

Not every programme has to look the same. Options include:

• spot UV varnish sets your printed programme apart
• lamination makes your programme last
• embossing & de-bossing adds a touch of class
• die-cutting to give your event programme shape
• foil blocking to provide a custom programme look
• specialist cover materials to work with these finishes

…or a clever use of any one of (or combination of) these programme finishes can guarantee you make a statement!

We can help prepare the artwork and propose specific programme effects, like a UV spot finish, but the best approach is to get in contact with us and we can run through our range of programme samples from all our years of printing experience.

Types of binding/finishing

It is possible that you already have a fixed concept in mind for your printed programme. For example, a lot of people have a preference for what is known in the printing trade as Saddle Stitching. Confusingly this kind of printed programme finish can also be referred to as 2 wire stapling, or even just a stapled programme.

This type of finishing means that you can open your programme up so that it is flat. The staples appearing a thing silver slivers on the inside and outside spine of your programme.

However, sometimes a couple of staples just isn’t enough. This can be because your programme simply contains too many pages to be reasonably stapled together. The answer? PUR Perfect Bound Programmes.

PUR binding is in fact extra strength glue to ensure that the pages of your programme do not become detached over time. This can also be a good option where you expect customers to either purchase or just keep your programme for a number of years, perhaps as a souvenir.

Programme printing sizes

By programme print size we actually mean both the physical size of the paper that your programme is printed on and the length of the print run required.

Let’s tackle paper size first. You might think of a typical event programme being A5 size. This is an A4 piece of paper folded in half and usually containing a number of pages. However, there is nothing sacrosanct about an A5 programme. They also commonly come in A4 size (that’s A3 folded as it is finished), as well as many other options, including square sized programmes.

In-House Programme Design and Print

Just as programmes can be produced for any purpose ranging from exhibitions, one-off events, sales open days and the like, we also find programmes contain a range of content.

Fortunately, we have our own in-house programme design studio, capable of filling your programme with exactly the information you need to provide. From event running-order information to a who’s who guide for a theatre production, our designers are ready to produce your programme, ready for sign-off and print.

Naturally, our B1 printing presses are also ready to receive your artwork ready programme PDFs.

Environmentally friendly printing

Everyone cares about the environment nowadays and none more than us. That’s why we qualified as environmentally friendly programme printers, before most firms had even thought of how to best protect our environment for the next generation. As a result the printed materials we use for all our programme printing are sourced from well-managed resources (FSC) and we only use vegetable-based inks.
