Common deadline pressures
- Board packs and proposals are often finalised hours before the meeting.
- Brand guidelines require consistent colours, fonts and logo use across every item.
- New hires need business cards and stationery soon after joining.
- Training sessions need many identical manuals, bound and collated correctly.
- Corporate events and year-end functions need banners and branded items together.

Planning checklist
- Confirm who has final sign-off on documents and get approval before sending files to print.
- Check that logos, colours and fonts follow your brand guidelines.
- Specify binding type, paper and quantity for each set of reports or manuals.
- Send print-ready PDFs with fonts embedded to avoid layout changes.
- For conferences, AGMs and year-end functions, allow 3 to 7 days and keep same-day for genuine emergencies.
- Arrange collection or delivery to the office, allowing for delivery time separately from production.
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD. Same-day printing is there for genuine emergencies, but it is not 100% foolproof against poor planning. For important business events on your calendar, please give yourself 3 to 7 days to print.

FAQs
Can board packs be printed and bound the same day?
Often, if the files are final, the quantity and binding are eligible and payment and approval are received before the configured cutoff. Last-minute content changes are the most common cause of delay.
Can you keep our business card template for new staff?
Send us your approved template and new staff details each time. Please check every proof, because we print details exactly as supplied.
Do you offer account billing?
Payment terms are confirmed directly with the business. Please contact info@samedayprint.co.za to discuss your requirements.
