Common deadline pressures
- Awareness days and campaigns have fixed dates that cannot move.
- Donor reports and funding proposals often have strict submission deadlines.
- Budgets are limited, so quantities and formats need to be chosen carefully.
- Materials may need to be produced in more than one language for different communities.
- Volunteers need identifiable clothing at outreach events and drives.

Planning checklist
- Check that donor or partner logos are used as each funder requires.
- Have someone fluent in each language proofread translated materials before printing.
- Print realistic quantities and consider reusable items like banners that last across campaigns.
- Confirm submission deadlines for reports and work backwards to an artwork deadline.
- For awareness days and fundraising events, allow 3 to 7 days and keep same-day for genuine emergencies.
- Plan who will collect materials and how they will reach outreach sites.
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.

Can you print materials in several languages?
Yes, we print the artwork you supply in any language. Please have each version checked by a fluent speaker, as we print exactly what is sent.
Which items are most reusable across campaigns?
Pull-up banners and generic banners with your organisation's name and message can be reused for years if stored carefully, while date-specific items are best kept to flyers and posters.
