The VIDEO BROCHURE is a printed packaging with a built-in LCD screen, motherboard, speaker, rechargeable lithium battery, and a USB connection that allows for updating of content and recharging of the device.
The most common Video Brochure is the A5 Landscape with 7in IPS screen, finished in 400gsm coated stock card, although more and more clients are realizing the benefits of the Hard Cover Video Brochure at a nominal extra cost compared to the soft cover

Standard paper used is 400gsm single coated stock with matt or gloss cello. Soft Cover accounts for around 80% of our sales. Hard Cover, Leather Bound, Linen etc also available

The difference between Soft and Hard Cover can be confusing to the uninitiated, especially when the Soft Cover is anything but soft. In fact, the soft cover is made of 400gsm coated stock with lamination and folded over to form the video brochure.
The Hard Cover is a 1200~1400gsm greyboard lined with 157gsm paper. The final product is heavy and robust with a premium look and feel to it.
Hard Cover will usually cost approximately 15% more than the soft cover variant, subject to quantity ordered, and takes a little longer to produce than the Soft Cover

We accept orders from as little as 10 units printed in digital and 25 units printed in CMYK 4colour process

Unless otherwise specified, all products are printed with a full colour CMYK process and, as with any full colour work, colour matching is not guaranteed.
Please note that, through the full colour print process, print colour may vary from print to print, stock to stock, front to back, and first product of the run to the last product of the run. This is a natural, unavoidable aspect of full colour print.
If colour matching is a requirement of the job, then you must let us know at the beginning of the job and specify which PMS colours, or otherwise provide us with colour samples.
Additional charges will apply for specific Pantone, PMS, or SPOT colours.
The colour represented in the artwork proof on screen (RGB) can vary to the final printed product (CMYK/PMS/SPOT).
Colours on your artwork proof are NOT guaranteed to be an accurate representation of the final printed product.

However similar they may look on screen, RGB, SPOT and CMYK colours will not all print the same. RGB is primarily used for online viewing only, however can be forgiving if printed on a digital printing press. CMYK and SPOT colour models use different techniques in applying the colour so will not offer exactly the same outcome. CMYK layers the colours one at a time to achieve your end result, where SPOT colour is pre-mixed before being printed. Read more about each.

Offset printing uses a rubber 'blanket' to transfer the printed image from a metal plate to the paper stock. Using a mixture of ink and water balance, jobs printed offset are either printed in CMYK or SPOT colour. The use of a professional designer is essential when preparing your artwork.

Digital printers use dry toner and the image is transferred electronically to the stock. Artwork goes through far less scrutiny when being printed on digital machines as they are more 'forgiving' of artwork created by non-professional designers which may have some technical errors.

If you were to print the exact same job on an offset and then a digital press, there is likely to be a colour difference. That's why it is difficult to offer a digital print proof for an offset print job as it will not be a true indication of colour. To check the colour on an offset job, a press-check would be required. This means while the job is on the press, the colours are checked and adjusted as needed, before continuing with the print run.

Spot Gloss -Spot UV is a screen printed high gloss finish which can be applied to selected spots to enhance or highlight the printing. Spot UV can run to bleed

Foiling
Hot stamp foiling is the process of imprinting a highly shiny foil onto the surface of your printing. Available in Silver or Gold in our ganged matt laminated print runs, or contact us for a bespoke quote if a different colour or stock option is required.

Emboss/Deboss
Add texture with an embossed (raised surface) or a debossed pattern (sunken into the surface)

Metallic Ink
Add a metallic ink to your print work with either PMS 877 Silver or PMS 871 Gold. A cheaper alternative to foiling, the metallic inks reflect light to give your printing a distinctive sheen

Anti-scuff matt laminating
Dirty fingerprints will be kept at bay and will leave your print with a clean appearance. This durable print finish is ideal for brochures, folders and other print products which need to be kept looking pristine, and is also handy for items which will be used repeatedly. This finishing technique is especially effective when used over darker printed areas, as they tend to show up marks and scratches more than lighter shades. Whilst protecting your publications, anti-scuff lamination also ensures that your prints have a crisp and clear finish, making them visually appealing yet also safe from any scuffs. Using this method will allow a longer life-span on your products,

Soft touch matt laminating
Soft touch lamination, sometimes called Cellotouch, offers a protective finish with a matt effect and a soft, velvet-like texture. This distinctive finish encourages people to engage with the product due to its appealing surface. As a result of its premium feel, soft touch lamination is ideal for use on luxury packaging, high-end brochures and business cards. Soft touch lamination is also the perfect choice of lamination due to its durable qualities; for example, its finish leaves the product fingerprint free, which is essential when trying to promote a deluxe item. It also is naturally more scuff resistant than standard forms of lamination, such as matt, and is non-yellowing, meaning that its finish is prolonged

There are usually 5 stages of the proofing and order process, subject to volume and complexity of the job:

1/ .pdf Proof (12-24hrs): Once we have received your print ready creative, we will email you a .pdf proof for your approval or amendment.

2/ Digital Printed Mock Up (1-3days): Once we have received your approval of the supplied .pdf proof, we will then proceed to print in digital and assemble a working mock-up of your video brochure and email you pictures of the assembled unit.

*** The mock-up is to verify composition and content only. It is NOT intended as a colour guide and will NOT represent any special print finishes such as Spot UV.

3/ Offset Mass Print (7-10days): Once you have approved the mock up unit and paid the invoice we will then proceed to mass offset print and email you pictures of the printed paper for pre-production approval.

4/ Final Assembly and Delivery (1-3days): Once you have approved the sample pictures of the mass printed paper, we will then proceed to assemby of your video brochures and pack ready for shipment

5/ Delivery (3-5days): Your order is now booked with International Freight Forwarder (usually DHL Express) for delivery

***The above timelines are a guide only, and do not include any unforeseen problems which may occur with production, freight forwarding, customs entry etc

***Standard Proofing consists of digital (PDF) copies of the printing, and digital photographs of an assembled Product

***An actual Replica Sample of the printed shell and/or assembled product may be furnished upon request. Additional costs will apply, inlcuding shipping cost.

With every Video Brochure a 60cm USB-C cable is included for the purpose of charging, and also can be used to update content on the device.

Generally, we will preload your content during the assembly process. Should your content not be available during this time, then you may upload the content yourself by use of the supplied USB-C cable and connecting to your PC or MAC.
In almost all cases it is best to render your video using (MONO) audio settings, otherwise audio may stutter during playback.
Note: If you upload more than 1 video, you may wish to number the files so they will play in the desired sequence, for example 01.mp4, 02.mp4, 03.mp4

***IMPORTANT: Once you have completed the video upload, please ensure you eject the drive via the Safely Remove Hardware option in the system tray of your PC or MAC. If you simply pull an external drive out of a running computer, you might lose files, crash applications, or, even crash the Video Brochure.

The battery level indicator will display for 2 seconds at the top right part of the screen, upon opening of the cover. Should you need to charge the battery, we recommend using the USB wall adaptor for charging of the Video Brochures. Connecting to your PC or MAC is recommended for uploading or updating content only.
It is advised to keep the cover OPEN when charging the video brochures, otherwise the LCD screen will 'warm' the celloglaze of the inside cover causing the celloglaze to curl, and ruining the cover. Charging should take no more than 3 hours for most products

We can lock your content so that the content cannot be copied, removed, or replaced. A special passcode is required to unlock the copy protection. To unlock passcode protection, connect to PC with the supplied USB-C cable, keep cover open, wait for 'charging' status, then press Volume up, down, up, you should now have 'connected' status

Due to an embedded magnetic switch that allows the video brochure to automatically play when opened, video brochures must be alternated when stacked to "keep them quiet" during shipping and storage. Orientating video brochures in the exact same direction may cause interruptions in the magnetic field that shuts off each video brochure, "fooling" the video brochure in to thinking its cover is opened. This in turn drains the battery

Once artwork has been approved and accepted by the printer and all monies and/or deposits have been paid, the turnaround time is usually around 3-4weeks, depending on the quantity and complexity of the order.

Video Brochures can be re-used, or re-purposed by uploading the player with anything you like. Family photos, family videos, and videos of cats....anything that tickles your fancy, as many times as you like.

Don't forget to recycle when you are done with the video player
