There are many online print options that you could use to print your recruitment resources and below we provide some guidance to support leaders in getting leaflets, posters and banners printed.
We recommend using instantprint.co.uk and solopress.com, both companies are able to provide a wide range of options for printing leaflets, posters and banners using the print ready artwork we have made available – providing the most cost effective option to BB Companies looking for professionally printed resources. If its speed you are looking for then you can select a 24 hour express option or choose from a range of delivery options to suit both lead time and cost. You can also get free delivery depending on the value of your order.
Leaflets
You can print leaflets for as low as £11 for 100 A5 full colour, single sided leaflets, or £13 for 500 (with larger quantities available and minimum of 25). We would recommend printing leaflets as A5 (paper size) on Silk (paper type) and minimum of 150gsm (paper weight). You can of course choose from a wide range of paper sizes, types of paper and paper weights depending on what you are looking for. See instantprint.co.uk/flyers-leaflets or solopress.com/flyers-leaflets/.

Pull-Up Roller Banner Stands
You can print banner stands for as low as £23.99 for a single standard pull-up roller banner stand (with larger quantities available and no minimum number). We would recommend just going with the economy option as it is the best value for money, although if you are looking for a higher quality product then there are a range of options.

Vinyl Outdoor Banners
You can print vinyl banners for as low as £26.99 for a single 0.5m (height) x 2m (width) banner (with larger quantities available and no minimum number). From the artwork we have provided we would recommend either 0.5m (height) or 2m (width) as a smaller option or 1m (height) by 3m (width) as a larger option. The banners are eyeletted so you can easily fix the banners up. See instantprint.co.uk/largeformat/pvc-banners or solopress.com/vinyl-banners/pvc/.
Uploading Your Artwork
If you use our print ready artwork it has all been setup ready for you to simply upload as part of the checkout process with these online print suppliers. The files are setup as CMYK (colour mode required for professional print), include bleed (click here to find out more about bleed) and crop marks (this is a guide to printers for when they cut the product).
Once you have uploaded the artwork you will be asked to proof the artwork, this is where you are asked to check that everything looks ok. You just need to check that the image looks ok and is within the print area box/guides shown on screen. This is all very straight forward and there is lots of guidance provided as you go through the steps to complete your order.
If you have any questions you can email/chat/call InstantPrint or SoloPress as per contact information on their website.
