Confidential Documents and Presentations
020 3375 6674 info@silverimagelondon.com Open 24 hours, 7 days a week — call or email and we will tell you what is possible today.
Confidential documents and presentations with NDA-compliant secure handling and wire, comb, or staple binding, produced same-day at our 24/7 London facility. Same-day and overnight courier delivery is available across London, with frequent deliveries to the City, West End, Canary Wharf and Central London. Embargoed and pre-release work has a natural home here — much of it goes into Westminster ahead of announcements, under NDA and in exact counts.
Every job is quoted on its specification. Send us yours and we will come back with a firm figure.
| Binding option | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Wire binding | Wire spine, book lies flat when open | Reports and presentations that get read at a desk |
| Loose leaf | Unbound, collated and boxed or wrapped | Bundles that will be filed or re-ordered |
| Acco fastener | Hole punched, held by a metal Acco clip | Legal bundles and anything that needs pages added later |
Artwork specifications
Bleed, safe margins, colour, resolution, file format
Nothing to upload here either: our file checker runs entirely in your browser, so confidential artwork never leaves your machine.
| Requirement | What we need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | 3 mm on every edge | With crop marks offset by 3 mm. Anything running off the page has to extend past the trim, or a white hairline appears along the cut edge. |
| Safe margin | Text 5 mm clear of the trim | Trimming moves by a fraction of a millimetre across a run. Type sitting on the trim line will look uneven from copy to copy. |
| Colour mode | CMYK, not RGB | Bright RGB blues and greens sit outside the CMYK gamut and print duller than they look on screen. Send Pantone references for brand colours. |
| Resolution at final size | 300 dpi at the finished size | Measured on the printed piece, not in the file. A 72 dpi web image scaled up stays 72 dpi. |
| File format | PDF preferred — but send what you have | We accept virtually any artwork format and check every file in-house before production. If anything needs adjusting we will tell you immediately, before we print. |
| Fonts | Outlined, or fully embedded | Outlined is safer on urgent work: there is no substitution risk at 3am when nobody is at a desk to answer. |
| Images | Embedded in the PDF | PDF/X-4 embeds everything by default. Linked images that did not travel with the file are a common cause of a job stalling. |
| Transparency | Supported — no need to flatten | PDF/X-4 carries live transparency. Flattening by hand often causes the white boxes and colour shifts it was meant to avoid. |
| Page order | Single pages in reading order, not spreads | We impose the document ourselves. A pre-imposed spread costs time on an urgent job. |
| Bound edge | Inside margin of at least 15 mm on wire binding | The punch takes roughly 12 mm off the bound edge. |
Before you upload
- Export as PDF/X-4
- Convert fonts to outlines
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed
- Keep important content inside the safe margin
- Supply images at 300 dpi at the finished size
- Check the page size matches the finished trim size
Send the file even where there is doubt about it. We check bleed, resolution, embedded fonts and page size before anything goes on press, and where a fix is small it is usually just done. A two-minute reply at 9pm is faster than a re-export at 7am.
What turns a same-day job into a next-day one is almost never the printing. It is a question that has to go back to you and sit unanswered — artwork built at the wrong finished size, a logo supplied at screen resolution, or type running off the trim with no bleed behind it. Getting the six points above right removes nearly every one of those.
