and if you have finished shopping across our website you can now click on the ‘view basket’ button in the top bar where you can review your order.

Click on ‘proceed to checkout’ if you’re happy with your basket contents and you’ll be taken through to the shipping page.

This is where you confirm your delivery and billing address details before clicking on ‘next’.

Step 7

Please note: Your order will not be deemed as accepted by us unless payment and artwork has been received and we have issed a PDF visual confirmation for your approval.

Step 10

Once we have your artwork we’ll e-mail over a pdf visual for you to approve before we start printing.

The pdf proof is a guideline of print size and positioning.
If you’d like the print design to be a specific size, or in a specific position, please let us know otherwise we will go with the recommendation of the printer

(which may result in slight differences between the pdf layout we send for approval and the final product).

At this stage you are welcome to make changes to the design without incurring any extra charges

(unless the number of print colours or print positions changes)

This is the point at which we have accepted your order

(i.e payment and acceptable artwork received)

Step 11

You will be contacted by email with any updates to your order and an estimated delivery date.

Our orders are normally delivered in 2-3 weeks but please contact us if you have a specific delivery date in mind.

Step 12

Once your order has been despatched we’ll send a paid VAT invoice for your records.

Please contact us on 01206 272020 if you have any questions or prefer to order in person.

PLEASE NOTE: as pencils contain natural graphite in their leads, it is likely that graphite dust will settle on the pencil barrels during transit. This can be removed with a damp cloth.
