A lot can happen and be achieved within 24 hours! The phone can ring and simultaneously an email can ping your inbox. That was exactly what happen to us last week. The classic, ‘I’m ringing you to let you know I’ve emailed you’ was the opening line to the conversation. It was Thursday mid-morning, when our client phoned in a controlled panic, they had an event on Saturday, and needed 500 brochures for their delegate packs. The email was the artwork.
This was no simply operation, the artwork was mainly black, detailed match up across spreads, proofs had to be output, the cover had to be matt laminated, oh and the paper had be ordered, and tactful and challenging conversations with production was required. This was not a simple job; the brochure was intended to be a souvenir of the event and had to be flawless. Printing this digitally was not an option.
With great planning, attention to detail and focusing on client expectations, we flexed our production muscles, and slotted this project into our busy production schedule (and with last minute amends to the artwork) and delivered 550 brochures on Friday afternoon. Our client was extremely delighted and comment ‘wow….you clearly have made a rod for your own back with this level of service’. It’s simply what we do, all the time. So next time when you think ‘impossible, we’ll need more time’ talk to us, we will help.
Every Christmas, all gifts we receive from suppliers and clients, we raffle off to our team, and donate the money to a local charity.
Christmas 2013, we raised £220 and donated this amount to Hayward House Hospice.

Talk to Jas, about specifying FSC® and Carbon Neutral papers, and using the two logos to promote your environmental policy. We are seeing an increased number of clients insisting that carbon neutral/balanced paper are used for their printed materials. Don’t get left behind, be one of the innovative companies and let us help you reduce your carbon footprint.
When it comes to offshore wind farms, you don’t get any bigger than London Array. London Array is the world’s largest offshore wind farm; generating enough electricity to power nearly half a million homes per year, saving a massive 925,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
When we were approached to print the London Array Inauguration promotion pack, we were simply blown away. Using our specialist knowledge gained from producing the Trinity House brochure (see previous blog post), our client only had Pyramid in mind to produce this high profile campaign.
The project consistent of a suite of printed material, including calendars, presentation boxes, belly wraps, a limited edition print and spectacular case bound brochure.
The case bound brochure simply called ‘The World’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm’ (hindsight suggests it should have been called ‘The World’s Best Piece of Print’) demonstrates Pyramid’s ability to deliver a high profile campaign without any comprise on quality. Piecing the brochure together involved many innovative finishing’s and materials. From de-bossing, to foiling, to thread sewing to case bound, from fine linen to 100% recycled paper were all used. Limited to only 650 copies, these will be a memorable memento of the Inauguration ceremony which was attended by many senior cabinet ministers and dignitaries.
Selecting the correct paper for your print can, at times be a daunting decision to make. There are so many to choose from. Each paper has its own unique characteristics, some absorb ink, some have a smooth surface, some are bulkier then others and some have a tactile surface. Some are ‘whiter’ then others!
To help you select the correct paper and board Pyramid have created three exclusive swatches for
a) Coated Paper
b) Uncoated Paper
c) Speciality Paper
These include environmental friendly; FSC® accredited, and recycled sheets too.
To get your set, please email Jas (jas@pyramidpress.co.uk), with your full company details. Stocks are limited and are on a first come first served basis.
