Sorry we are unable to scan artwork greater than A4.

We do not send artwork back to the customer unless requested by the school/organiser. We cannot send 1 piece from a school/group project, we have to return the whole school/group. This is normally done at the end of the project in January. Please contact the office to discuss your requirements.
The process the artwork goes through causes no damage however we can't guarantee that artwork isn't bent by courier companies in transit.
Some materials do not reproduce accurately: pale colour pencils shades, white on white, silver on white, some metallics. Please go to Artwork Guidelines.
We don't process digital files as part of this project. However if you have had a photoshoot of your pupils we may request these digital files as these will achieve the best printed results.
No orders can be placed until you have added your class names in your portal.
Parents will pay for their orders on our online system using a credit or debit card. We cannot accept cheques or cash.
We ask you to choose a collection date when you register – this allows us to plan our temp recruitment and ensure everybody’s projects are returned in good time. For this reason it is difficult to change schools dates once the Autumn collections have started. If you need a few more days we can usually accommodate this. In an emergency we may be able to extend some school dates but as I am sure you can appreciate this extension can only be extended to limited numbers.
