Printing Services in Makati
Offset for large runs, digital for short ones, plus finishing, binding and design help. Not sure which you need? We’ll recommend it.
Offset printing
Ideal for large runs, with a wide choice of papers and sizes. Plates are made with computer-to-plate technology, so the cost per copy drops as quantities go up.
Good for
Books, catalogues, magazines, annual reports and larger quantities of marketing pieces.
Digital printing
Quick and cost-effective for small quantities and tight deadlines. No plates, so short runs stay affordable. In 2005 we were the first digital printer in the Philippines to use HP Indigo.
Good for
Business cards, flyers, short-run booklets, mockups and prototypes.
Finishing
The details that make a difference
Finishing can add texture, shine, shape, protection, or function to a printed piece. Finishing is available on jobs we print. Ask to see samples at our Makati office.
Special Finishes
Foil Stamping
Metallic or colored foil pressed onto the surface.
Embossing
A raised design you can see and feel. It can be done with foil or without foil, known as blind embossing.
Debossing
A design pressed into the surface.
Spot UV
A glossy coating applied to selected areas. Often paired with matte lamination for contrast.
Stone Finish
A textured surface finish. Ask to see a sample.
Protection and Surface
Lamination
A thin matte or gloss film added for protection and feel.
Cutting and Folding
Die-Cutting
Custom shapes, windows, and cut-outs.
Perforation
Tear-off lines for tickets, coupons, forms, and other printed materials.
Scoring and Folding
Creases and folds that help brochures, cards, folders, and other pieces fold cleanly.
Functional and Assembly
Numbering
Sequential numbers for forms, receipts, tickets, and other applications.
Pasting
Gluing for pockets, boxes, folders, and assembled pieces.
Mounting
Prints mounted onto board or another material for added structure or display.
Good to Know
Files for foil stamping, embossing, debossing, die-cutting, and spot UV may require separate artwork or guides. Vector artwork is recommended for elements that need clean, precise edges.
Binding
Which binding suits your project
Each binding looks, opens and lasts differently. We’ll help you choose based on page count and how it will be used.
Stapled along the fold.
Booklets · Magazines · Programs
Stapled through the side, close to the spine.
Reports · Thicker booklets
Pages stitched with thread on a sewing machine for a strong, durable spine.
Notebooks · Booklets · Heavy use books
A wire or plastic coil that lets pages lie flat.
Notebooks · Planners · Manuals
Pages glued into a square spine with a strong, flexible glue that holds up to heavy use.
Softcover books · Magazines · Catalogues
Sections sewn together with thread, so the book opens more easily.
