Pelican Press are truly the fastest printers in Manchester. When asked by a large Accountancy group to produce a marketing pack for them in just 5 hours we were up to the challenge.
The project involved two perfect bound books, one 60 pages the other 56 pages, both with a matt laminated cover, a die cut folder and a 20 page saddle stitched booklet, the quantities were small (less than 20) but the quality had to be the best.
Artwork was recieved at 12 noon and proofs were uploaded to the client within the hour, the folder was litho printed, laminated and die cut from an existing forme. The covers for the perfect bound books were printed first on an Indigo 5500, this was followed by their text pages, all collated in page order. The saddle stitched job was printed last.
Finishing was completed on Horizon binding equipment and delivery was via our van to central Manchester, the complete job being delivered at 4:40pm.
Chief Executive Ian Crow comments
"Although this isnt typical of all the work we produce at Pelican we are increasingly being asked to produce more and more work within 24 hours. We cannot offer this service without our people and equipment.
Our people are used to handling such demanding lead times from Customer Services through production to the final delivery, they accept it as part of the service we now offer. Our investment in the latest Indigo press allows litho quality work to be produced extremely quickly and our wide range of finishing kit allows us to delivery jobs right and on time"
Pelican now has a dedicated night shift on their Indigo press meaning most short run orders are turned around in 48 hours.
