Going out the door today - flyers and posters for Arcanic - check out their Halloween cabaret!

If you're running an event at a coffee shop with space for 50 people, do you really need 5,000 flyers? Probably not!

It's the sort of conversation we have quite often at Ganda. People come to us knowing they need something printed, but aren't always sure what, how many, or which materials to choose.

We've written a new article about the printing small businesses actually need, with a few examples from customers we've worked with over the years. From Blossoms regularly updating their menus and signage, to helping Bok Shop track which printed materials encourage customers to leave reviews, there's a lot more to it than simply putting ink on paper.

We're also big believers in bringing back the physical! With so much advertising online these days, a nicely printed flyer, card or invitation can still make a real impression.

But that doesn't mean you should print things just for the sake of it. We'd much rather help you spend your money on something that actually works.

Have a read, and if you're not sure where to start, come in for a coffee and a chat.

Need something printed in a hurry?

We had a customer contact us on a Friday morning because they needed workbooks for an educational camp on Saturday ... in field milese from anywhere ... and they were leaving for it that afternoon.

The slight complication was that the artwork was a PowerPoint file.

Our artwork team worked with them to get it print ready, we printed and bound everything, and the finished workbooks were ready for collection by 5pm!

We’ve had another customer come to us needing matt laminated, variable-data tent cards that day. They were printed, laminated, creased and taped in about three hours.

Not every job can be done that quickly, obviously, but people are often surprised by what is possible.

We’ve written a guide to what can be printed quickly, what tends to cause delays and what we can sometimes change when a deadline really cannot move.

We’ve given part of Ganda its own home 👋

Ganda Studio is now live at https://ganda.studio

Although calling it “new” isn’t quite right, because we’ve actually been doing this work for years.

Alongside the print, design and creative side of Ganda Media we’ve been building websites, booking systems, ticketing platforms, internal tools, integrations and custom software for clients for a long time.

It had just got to the point where that side of the business needed a home of its own.

So that’s what Ganda Studio is.

If you’ve got a website that needs to actually do something, a business process that’s become a bit of a nightmare, a spreadsheet that’s doing far more work than it should be, or an idea for a bit of software that doesn’t quite exist yet, that’s exactly the sort of thing we like working on.

And if you’ve got something in your business currently being held together by manual processes, spreadsheets and swearing, send us a message.

Ganda Studio is the software development arm of Ganda Media, building websites, platforms and business software for organisations across the UK.

Flyers are still one of those print products that can work really well — as long as they’re not treated as an afterthought.

A good flyer should be clear, easy to read and have one obvious job.

That might be:

✅ promoting an event
✅ advertising an offer
✅ launching a new menu
✅ getting people into a venue
✅ explaining a service
✅ handing something useful to customers
✅ including a QR code for booking, ordering or more info

The main thing is not to cram absolutely everything onto it.

If someone has to stand there squinting at 19 different messages, 4 phone numbers, 6 fonts and a QR code the size of a postage stamp… it’s probably not doing its job.

Need flyers printed? We can help with the print, the design, or both.

Sending artwork for print?

A few quick checks can save a lot of faff before anything goes near the printer.

The big ones are:

✅ Set the artwork up at the correct finished size
✅ Add bleed where needed
✅ Keep important text and logos away from the edge
✅ Use high-resolution images
✅ Export as a print-quality PDF where possible
✅ Check colours carefully if you designed in RGB - print is done in CMYK
✅ Double-check spelling, dates, phone numbers and QR codes

That last one is especially important. Printers are powerful, but they do not yet have a “this QR code goes to the wrong place” warning light.

We’ve put together a simple artwork guidelines page here:

Not sure if your file is ready? Send it over and we’ll check before it goes to print.

Print tip of the day: bleed 👀

Not the dramatic kind — the print kind.

Bleed is the extra bit of artwork that goes past the final edge, so when your flyers, business cards, menus, leaflets or stickers are trimmed, you don’t end up with annoying white borders.

Tiny detail. Big difference.

Not sure if your artwork has bleed? Send it over and we’ll check before it goes to print.

Print tip of the day: bleed.

Not the dramatic kind. The print kind.

Bleed is the little extra bit of artwork that goes past the final cut line, so when your flyers, cards, menus or leaflets are trimmed, you don’t end up with annoying white edges.

Most standard print jobs need 3mm bleed on each edge, but some items — especially banners — can need different setup because of hemming and finishing.

We’ve put together a simple guide covering bleed, safe areas and the common artwork mistakes that can delay print jobs.

And if you’re still not sure, send us the artwork and we’ll check it before it goes to print.
