Offset Printing Services
The gold standard for high-volume printing. Achieve superior quality, perfect colour consistency, and the lowest cost-per-piece for large print runs.
Uncompromising Quality for High-Volume Needs
Offset printing, also known as lithography, is the traditional and most widely used method for commercial printing. It involves transferring ink from metal plates to a rubber blanket, and then onto the paper. This process results in exceptionally sharp, clean, and consistent images and text, making it the preferred choice for projects that demand the highest level of quality and precision.
While the initial setup cost is higher than digital printing, the price per piece becomes significantly lower as the quantity increases. This makes offset printing the most economical choice for large-volume projects where brand consistency and premium quality are paramount.
When to Choose Offset Printing:
- Large quantity print runs (typically 2,000+ copies)
- Projects requiring precise Pantone® colour matching
- Books, Catalogues, and Magazines
- High-volume Brochures and Flyers
- Corporate Stationery and Reports
- Packaging and high-end marketing collateral
Offset printing allows for a wide range of finishing options. Enhance your high-volume project with a protective and stylish Lamination, or add a touch of luxury with Foil Stamping. For projects with shorter runs or tight deadlines, our Digital Printing service is the perfect alternative.

Offset Printing FAQs
What is the minimum order for offset printing?
Due to the setup involved, offset printing is typically cost-effective for quantities of 2,000 or more. For smaller orders, we recommend our digital printing services.
What are Pantone® colours?
The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a standardised colour library used to ensure exact colour consistency. Offset printing can use pre-mixed Pantone® inks for perfect brand colour matching.
How long does offset printing take?
Offset printing has a longer setup time than digital. A typical project takes around 5-7 working days, but this can vary depending on the complexity and finishing required.
