EOFY Print Tips To Beat The Rush and Deliver Results!

The End of Financial Year is not far away and we have some great tips to stay ahead of competitors.

Here are some EOFY (End of Financial Year) printing ordering tips to help you get the best results while staying on budget and meeting deadlines.

1. Plan Early

• Lead Times: Printers get busy around EOFY — aim to place your order at least 2–3 weeks in advance.
• Rush Fees: Last-minute orders often incur rush fees or may not be fulfilled in time.

2. Choose the Right Size & Format

• Popular Sizes: DL (99mm x 210mm), A5, or A4 menus/flyers are standard and cost-effective.
• Folded Menus: Consider tri-fold or bi-fold formats if you’re including multiple offers or categories.

3. Select Paper Wisely

Weight:

• 150–170gsm for flyers (affordable yet premium feel)
• 250–350gsm for menus, postcards, and promotional handouts

Finish:

• Matte for a sophisticated look and easier to write on
• Gloss for bright colours and imagery
• Laminated for durability (especially menus)

4. Ensure Print-Ready Design

• Bleed & Margins: Add 3mm bleed, and keep text at least 5mm inside trim lines.
• High-Res Images: Use 300 DPI minimum to avoid blurry results.
• Proofing: Always request a digital proof — or a hard proof if time allows — before bulk printing.

5. Maximise Value

• Bulk Ordering: Higher quantities = better per-unit pricing.
• Combine Orders: Bundle flyers, vouchers, menus, and posters into one print run.
• EOFY Specials: Ask printers if they have end-of-year discounts or packages.

6. Distribution Strategy

• Mailing? Choose lighter stock to reduce postage.
• In-store? Go for durability and eye-catching design.
• Digital version? Request a PDF version with clickable links.

7. Double-Check Your Content

• Dates, pricing, contact info, ABN, terms & conditions, promo codes — make sure everything is up to date and accurate.
