We Love… Service

In the current economical climate it’s easy to believe that the cheapest supplier is the best supplier. However, we have not let this need to look after the pennies detract in any way from our promise of excellent customer service. When you order with far’n’beyond, you are not just paying for your finished print, web, or design, you are paying for the whole experience.

This means good communication, fast response to quotes and queries, a team who will work WITH you to achieve your goals, and someone who will look after your order up until it is in your hands.

How to we monitor our service?

As with any other business, we need customer feedback to see the holes in our service. Further to this, our Job Management System will provide you with automatic email updates on the process of your order, and out helpful team will ensure to process your order quickly and offer help and advice where needed.

We are always thinking of new ways to make the ordering process as simple and stress-free as possible. We want you to feel as though you know everything you need to know about your order, and so do the team! Efficient communication is the key to a successful working relationship with our customers.

What have we done recently?

Recently we have adjusted our Job Management System, so all emails you receive will come from your assigned member of the team, for ease of getting back in touch! We have also introduced the emailing of all our invoices so you receive them quicker, thus shortening the whole experience.

We Love… Quality

A valuable distinction between far’n’beyond and our competitors is our commitment to delivering Quality throughout our products and services.

We believe that the quality of our print, materials, product finishing, packaging, service and delivery is the first step in being successful and we work hard to ensure you receive the very best whether you order just one poster or sixty thousand brochures.

How do we monitor our quality?

Firstly, we rely on customer feedback. Without this we cannot continue to improve and drive the business forward. Beyond this, each member of the team takes personal responsibility in checking imagery, artwork, print and finishing before we dispatch your goods. We also use our bespoke job management system which tracks every job from quote to completion.

Can we improve?

How to Prepare an A6 Flyer for Print

These steps can be used to check artwork is suitable for print.

Begin by taking whatever artwork you have and changing it to the correct format; in the case of an A6, this is 108mm x 151mm at 300dpi in CMYK.

To do this, open your artwork in Photoshop and drag it into a new template document prepared to the above specifications or downloaded from our artwork pages.

Then resize your artwork to fit (if needs be) and check that no text, logos or images cross the 3mm bleed area as these will may be trimmed off in the finishing process. Next, we compare any colour differences that may have occurred between RGB and CMYK and then zoom in to 50% to check the quality looks clean without any compression or blurring.

Lastly, save it as a high resolution jpeg and send it on its merry way, always keeping a copy on file of what you sent, and what went to print.

Tips to remember when sending in artwork:

Your flyer will be trimmed down once printed. Keep text, logos and images at least 3mm from the edge of your design (providing you design at the correct size).

• Remember that what is a 3mm bleed on A5 is less than 3mm on A6, so please bear that in mind when asking us to resize artwork, and also design flyers to size if possible.

• If you are sending print-ready artwork as a PDF, please make sure it is flattened. Certain elements can adjust between versions of software, fonts can change, and what we see on our software may not be what you see on yours. To ensure consistency, try not to send layered PDFs for print.

• Spell Check! We might have a peruse of your flyer whilst preparing it for print, but we will not be going through it with a fine-toothed comb assessing your grammar. If we spot a mistake we will tell you, but it’s definitely not something to rely on!

Our website has a size guide for every standard size we print, and templates are available to download for design purposes. Also, as always, if you get stuck then get in touch and we will help you out.

Restaurant & Bar Drinks Menus

The O Bar is one of our longest and closest brands we have worked with, being there right at the beginning, creating their brand, web presence and promotional material.

Our latest project was to combine all their drinks menus together to create a striking contemporary menu booklet, durable against spilled drinks and cheap enough, print wise, to be mass produced, but with a sophisticated feel and look.

What we put together was a 8 page booklet on 150gsm silk material including a 350gsm gloss laminated card cover, perfectly reflecting rich and vibrant colors aiding the sophisticated feel of the ‘O Bar Birmingham’ brand.
