For the majority of orders placed with us we require payment before we send anything into production. You can use any major credit/debit card, bank transfer or cash to place an order with us. If you are interested in flexible payment terms then please get in touch where we can discuss this with you.

We take your security extremely seriously and we use an industry leading payment gateway ‘Stripe’ to process all payments, therefore, your details are never stored by us and are only processed by Stripe when placing an order.

Should a refund need to be processed at any time once the request has been received and processed, please allow 3-5 working days for the refund to go back onto your credit/debit card or bank account.

When we quote we provide all prices without VAT but will show a break down of the VAT included when it’s applicable.

In general flyers and leaflets are zero rated. However, there are some exceptions:

• VAT is chargeable if your flyer or leaflet is used as admission to premises, for example using the words ‘free admission with this leaflet’ or similar.
• VAT is chargeable if your flyer or leaflet is used to obtain a discount on goods or services, for example using the words ‘25% off with this flyer’ or similar.
• VAT is chargeable if the flyer or leaflet has an area designed to be written on.
• As flyers are generally zero-rated for VAT we do not charge VAT by default. If upon receipt of your artwork it is apparent that VAT is applicable to your order, we will contact you and update the invoice.

To find out if your product is VATable visit: isitvatable.com or check HMRC’s official line on their website.

Most of our orders are processed on a pro forma basis meaning we require payment before we go to production. For convenience we do offer flexible payment terms for businesses who regularly need print, this is done on a case by case basis. Please visit our Lemonade Print Partner page for more information or to get in touch to discuss setting up an account with us.

We use Royal Mail 1st class and recorded delivery and also next working day couriers. We can upgrade the next working day to a timed delivery – AM, Pre 10:30, Pre 9. Additional costs apply to timed deliveries. We also offer the option to come and collect, we are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Sometimes there are technical or weather issues that may prevent the courier from providing their ‘next working day service’ which are out of our control and we cannot accept responsibility for.

Our preferred file types are PDF and JPEG – so make sure to save your final design as one of those before sending it to us. We also recommend adding 3mm bleed and setting colour settings to CMYK.

We offer design and artwork services, so whether you just need a little help or you need us to design something from scratch simply get in touch and we’ll be more than happy to help.

We can work with any of the following file types:

• PDF
• JPEG
• AI
• DOC
• DOCX
• EPS
• PNG
• PPT
• PSD
• TIFF
• PUB

As standard every piece of artwork you send to us is checked by real humans at every stage. If something’s not quite right, we’ll tell you and we won’t send anything to print until you’re 100% happy with it.

We accept print ready PDFs, Illustrator files (with fonts outlined), Flattened: Photoshop, Tifs, JPGs, PNG’s (set at 300dpi and at 100% print size). Take a look at our artwork guides to help you as you get things set up.

Bleed is an extra area around your artwork which helps to make sure there are no inconsistent edges as trimming isn’t always exact.
If you want your artwork to go to the edge of the print (background colour or image), you will need to extend your design to fill the bleed area. Note the bleed size can differ between products but a minimum of 3mm is the standard.

Take a look at our bleed guide for more information on setting up your file with bleed.

Our expert Studio Team are great at adding bleed if you don’t know how to – just make sure all text and logos are at least 3mm from the edge of your artwork. If we can’t add bleed, we’ll let you know and discuss the next steps.

Printing without bleed means that you will get inconsistent edges with bits of paper/white showing as the artwork will not consistently go over to the edges.

A proof is a document that shows you exactly how your artwork will look when it’s printed. We’ll send you back a digital proof of any artwork you send us for print to make sure you’re absolutely happy. We’ll also highlight anything we spot that might not be right.

One area we’re not checking is spelling and grammar so it is your responsibility to check any content thoroughly before approving the proof.

Check out our full guide on what to look out for in your proof.

Yes! Once you place an order we will provide you with a low res digital proof for free. We won’t go to print until you approve this.
For £5 you can order a printed proof before the production run. This is an effective way of knowing what your finished product will look like.
Printed proofs are available for the smaller printed items – leaflets, brochures, business cards etc. We are not able to offer finished proofs for larger format items such as Indoor Roller Banners.

If you’ve approved your artwork but have noticed something then please get in touch with us as soon as possible. We may be able to hold production depending on which stage it has reached.
However, our speed of turnaround is down to putting products ordered and approved straight into production so unfortunately most of the time we won’t be able to make any changes to the artwork or the order. Please bear this in mind when you are checking your proof, if you have any questions feel free to give us a call or send us an email before you approve the proof!

Popular design programs include the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) and Microsoft Office (Word, Publisher, PowerPoint). Just make sure to save your file as a PDF or JPEG before you send it to us.

We’ve built artwork guides and templates to help you put your artwork. If you can’t find what you need then please get in touch and we’ll send something to you or walk you through it.

Yes! We have a fully functional design house from which we can offer quick amends right through to complete design (start to finish). Just let us know what you need and we’ll be happy to discuss how we can help.

Yes! Once your order is dispatched you will receive an email containing tracking details directly from our couriers.

All our machines print CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). We automatically convert the colours for you so your proof will show exactly how it will print. If you’re not happy with the conversion, check out our colour guide on how you can change the colour settings on your artwork.

Lamination is a special coating, or finish we can add on to certain products such as leaflets, business cards and booklets. It means you can make your products matt (smooth and not shiny), glossy (super high-shine) or velvet (soft finish that adds depth to colours and feels great).

This is not to be confused with encapsulation which is when the whole product is covered with a thin layer of plastic and sealed around the edge making it resistant to water and other liquids.

‘Gsm’ refers to how thick, or heavy, the material we print on is. It stands for ‘Grams per Square Metre’ and the higher the number, the thicker the paper. For example, our standard business card paper is 400gsm. Flyers are traditionally thinner, ranging from 130gsm to 350gsm. To give an idea the paper you would usually use in your home or office printer will be around 80gsm.

Here are some popular paper choices by product:

• Business card – Silk 400gsm
• Flyers – Silk 170gsm
• Postcard – Matt 350gsm with gloss to one side
• Greeting card – TruCard 300gsm
• Letterhead – Matt 120gsm
• Booklet – Matt 250gsm cover with Matt 120gsm inner

At Lemonade Print we want you to be delighted with your product. We take great pride in the products that we produce, so if we’ve made a mistake and your order doesn’t cut it please get in touch with us as soon as possible. You can call us on 01444 239000 or email us to let us know.
Any defects with the print must be reported to us within 48 hours of receipt of order so we can more effectively work out the causing factor.
