The questions UK buyers ask before a first order. Type a word to filter the cards, or open one for the full answer.
Are the guides written for buyers or printers?
Buyers. Each one answers the questions that come in on the quote form, in the order a first-time buyer tends to ask them.
Do the guides quote prices?
No. Paper, size, colours and quantity set the price, so every job is quoted in writing.
How up to date are the guides?
Each one shows its date at the top and is updated when a paper, size or print method changes.
Can I print a guide out for my staff?
Yes. The pages print cleanly from the browser and the tables keep their columns on A4.
Do the guides cover soap as well as food?
Yes. One guide is only about wrapping soap bars; the rest cover food paper.
Is there a guide to sheet sizes by food?
Yes. It gives a sheet size in millimetres for each common item, from a slider to a whole pizza, with the usual pick for each.
Where do I go after reading a guide?
Each guide links the papers it mentions. Open the product page, check the typical sizes, then ask for a quote.
Can I ask a question the guides do not answer?
Yes. Email or WhatsApp it, and if it comes up often it gets added to a guide or to the help page.
Why do the guides say typical rather than exact?
Paper weights and heat limits are trade ranges that move a little by batch.
