Hi all,
Here is something that need decision:
I have checked with dpsprint4u.com (as recommended by John), and they offered
to make 300 folders for £267 + vat + £20 shipping. That comes out to be
slightly over £1 per folder. They have sent me the sample, the spec is:
A4 Folders - Printed Full Colour Single Sided onto 350gsm Board
Corner PVC Pocket inside to hold approx 25 A4 Pages
Folders will come assembledFrankly speaking the sample they sent me looked a
bit flaky and unprofessional, but hey, it might be enough for us?
A few things to consider:
1. Are 300 folders sufficient, seeing that we have 253 so far?
2. How many pages of A4 papers do we think we would have in total? I could
imagine we would need schedule, info about speakers, maps, promotional
materials. Any info from previous years?3. Turn around time is about 5 working
days, so we have to finalize the design/schedule/etc by then.4. Personally, I
like the folder printer by VistaPrint better
(http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/presentation-folders.aspx?xnav=TsrItem&xnid=aFoldersBusiness+Identity&dng=Business+Identity)
because you can print on the pocket (and cheaper as well, only £150 for 250
folders). The one from dpsprint comes with transparent plastic sleeve that
looks a bit dodgy.
I have also enquired about the cost of printing the inserts with dpsprint.
Assuming a 20 pages insert x 300, the cost for B&W laser printing on 100 gsm
silk paper is £285 + vat. We could probably ask them to group the inserts
together, but I am assuming we have to do the final assembly (ie, putting the
inserts inside the folder). This can be done during the day on the registration
table. Alternatively, someone can volunteer to print using their laser
printers, but I reckon 300 x 20 is quite a lot, any brave soul out there?
Let me know what you guys think, and who I should contact to arrange for the
payment.
Cheers,
Yusdi
