National Print Award 2015

IntoPrint collected its highest accolade in May 2015 at the National Print Awards. We were awarded a Gold Medal for an entry in Category 10 Presentation Folders.

The job was titled "The Senses Presentation Folder’’

Requiring a bulky stable board we selected Sovereign hi bulk 360 gsm from K.W.Doggetts
The clients logo had to be diecut so as to show the printed logo through it. This was managed in our Prepress department and the printed logo was spread intricately so as it lined up with the diecut, perfecting the Designers idea.

The printing was done on or Heidelberg CD 102 5 colour + Coater printing press in cmyk with our inline soft touch aqueous coating.

The flat sheets were then spot uved and diecut.

The inside pocket was carefully hand glued and the folder was folded and delivered to the client all under a strict turnaround time.

“Featured Project”

This is our first of many “Featured Project” stories that we will be putting up so you can see not only the type of work we are capable of producing but also the way we go about looking after our client requirements along the way.

As you would know the world of communication is always moving at a rapid pace and issues arise throughout any project that can jeopardise a successful campaign. We need to work closely with our clients and be ready for the unexpected, so production scheduling can be altered and re-altered to suit the new requirements.

Artwork changes, quantity changes and a plethora of other specification changes are more common than you think. We pride ourselves, with the help of many years’ experience working in the industry, to adapt our processes to meet the demands placed on us throughout the course of the production process.
I do remember a job that we produced that was booked in, the artwork was received when indicated, the proofs were approved when we needed and delivery details remained as given….actually, I don’t remember. It doesn’t happen.

So, our first featured project is:

Finance Company Collateral

A regular client of IntoPrint contacted us to help them with the print production of a large mail out that they needed to meet client expectations.
The scope of work was extensive and the deadline was short….standard!

Specifications started with one kind of 139,000 52pp self-cover DL booklets, 139,000 12pp DL brochures & 139,000 A4 letterheads. All printed 4 process colours on uncoated stock.

The deadline from the time of receiving artwork to needing to feed the mailhouse a start up supply to get their processes under way was 3 days with the total delivery required within 7 working days. Tight but achievable.

Once orders & artwork were received and stocks ordered there was a phone call to indicate there were actually 2 kinds. Quantities weren’t effected so no real drama, carry on with the plan. Requote and proof out the new kinds for approval.

….another call to indicate the 12pp was actually now only a 4pp…requote done, carry on.

Printing begins on the first version.

… another call comes in to indicate the second version had increased by 30,000. So, that is an extra 30,000 52pp booklets, 30,000 4pp DL’s and 30,000 letterheads…..no change to the deadline…..O.K. Better make some alterations to shifts.

…..As directors of the company we are fully involved with the day to day operations within the production facility. All three of us are also tradesmen and are able to jump into production to assist when needed…this is one of those times.

Directors Tony Perini and Michael Maloney work late night and early mornings to assist the two shifts in the press room to ensure work is flowing into the bindery enabling deadlines to be met.

I decide my time is best spent managing the job….I don’t like early morning starts!

After just one day in production a part order of letterheads are completed and delivered to the mailhouse to get them rolling out their processes. The next day the first of the 52pp booklets are sent with the 4pp to follow.

Quantities of each item are packed, wrapped and delivered each morning and afternoon to keep the production flow of the job moving without any delays.
In the end the deadlines were met and all alterations to the project were handled without a hitch.

These changes can be the undoing of many companies as they are far too process driven. We believe in our abilities to service our clients requirements at all times. We operate at a fast pace and we adapt when the goal posts are moved. We have the technology, experience and expertise to assist you with your project, no matter what that might be.

Contact IntoPrint to discuss your next project. You’ll find the details on the contact page.

Binding line updated

Taking advantage of a recent auction Intoprint has now updated its binding line to include a magnificently maintained Muller martini 335.

Purchasing this machine from a recent auction at the NT Government printer was a great coup for Intoprint. This will replace our current 1509 Muller which has served us well over the past 8 years.

Roman Beeler at Muller Martini Australia says that this machine is the best kept machine in the country and has done very little work throughout it’s time at the NT Government Printer. It looks and operates like a new machine.

The configuration is 5 single hoppers plus cover feeder, CST and delivery. It will take up to A3 in width allowing us to produce 2up A5 or DL booklets. Our cover feeder has a new letterpress style scoring system which saves time also so we look forward to increased volumes of book work in the coming months.

Let us know if we can assist you with any inquiries for saddle stitch book work!!

Welcome to the new Intoprint website

We have formatted the site similar to a social media site so it is easy to navigate through to see what we have been up to over recent times. Please feel free to add any comments to assist us and others to gain as much benefit in growing a better understanding of our ever evolving industry.

Look forward to hearing from you soon!!!
