Kensington is embassies, institutes and private offices — print that is small in run and high in consequence. Files sent by 21:00 are printed, finished and delivered into W8 by 9am, seven days a week.

What Kensington actually orders
The working Kensington is embassies and cultural institutes ordering event programmes, invitations and conference sets; private offices and family offices ordering bound reports in single figures; and the museum fringe ordering exhibition and event print. Runs are short, stocks are heavy, and discretion is assumed rather than requested.
- Invitations and programmes for receptions and national-day events
- Bound reports and briefing documents in short, exact runs
- Exhibition and event print: boards, captions, banners
- Menus and place cards for private dining and functions
- Conference sets delivered to institute reception desks

Questions we get from Kensington
Do you handle small runs — ten copies, not ten thousand?
Yes, and in W8 that is the normal order: ten bound reports on heavy stock, delivered to a named person. No minimum during the day.
Can you deliver to an embassy reception?
Yes — the box carries exactly the contact name we are given and the courier hands it over at the desk. We are used to buildings where parcels are inspected, so packaging is clean and labelled.
How late can I send a file for a morning reception?
Files and approval by 21:00 for a 9am delivery. For an evening event, same-day production usually means a file by early afternoon — call and we commit to a time.
Production managed by Maciej Antosz, Production Manager at Silver Image London — in print since 2010.
Key facts: ordering tonight
- Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, including Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.
- Print production runs 24/7; the walk-in counter serves the day and evening, and the status bar at the top of the page shows live whether it is open right now.
- Files and payment received by 21:00 → overnight production for delivery before 9am the next morning, subject to that night’s capacity; we confirm at quotation whether the run fits.
- No fixed overnight cap: tell us the quantity and we say at quotation whether it can be done in time.
- Overnight jobs are normally couriered to arrive before your office opens; collection is arranged around your arrival time — call before you set off after 8pm so the job is bagged and waiting at the counter.
- No minimum for walk-in jobs during the day — one copy is a normal job. Out-of-hours collection or delivery carries a £95 minimum plus courier if required.
- Same-day and overnight courier delivery across London, most often EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, E14 and SW1.
- Exhibition delivery to ExCeL, Olympia, the Business Design Centre and other venues: send us the hall, your stand number, the named person on the stand and their mobile, and the build-day or opening time you need it by; we deliver to the stand.
- Send what you have: we check the artwork before anything goes on press and tell you what to fix; a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 3 mm bleed) is the fastest route.
- Quotes come with a secure payment link — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna; production starts once payment is in.
- Courier delivery within London is usually in the region of £35–45, depending on the postcode and which courier is free; the exact figure is on your quote and is added to the job price.
- A proof is available on request; when we design the artwork you always get a final proof to approve. Print-ready files are printed on site and our operator checks the run against a printed proof sample before it leaves.
- Before we accept an urgent job we look at what could go wrong with the file, the stock and the finishing, and plan so that a reprint would still fit inside your deadline.
- Every order has a dedicated member of staff and an agreed completion deadline; we do not run an e-commerce queue, so the time we give you is for your job.
- Bank transfer is accepted alongside the payment link: tell us when you have sent it — the job goes to production once accounts confirm it has arrived.
- Outside London and towards the M25 courier costs more: we check with the couriers and confirm the price with you before booking.
