Since their aim is: "To design, develop and deliver the best bicycles in the world.

The brochure was perfect bound with a 7mm spine and the customer was absolutely delighted with the end product.

CASE STUDY 5

Job: Catering Equipment Catalogue
Client: Dentons
Size: 207mm deep x 148mm wide

Cover:   200 gsm Allegro Silk

Coating: Cover matt laminated on front
Binding:  Thread sewn with drawn on cover
Packing: In boxes, label with title and quantity
Delivery: Split delivery 2 x UK addresses
 

This catalogue contains a huge variety of trade catering equipment and is the flagship product illustrating the complete Dentons range.

The need for appropriate stitching was the key to producing a booklet of this size and it had to be thread sewn in order to securely hold the 182 pages together.  The catalogue has been finished with immaculate matt lamination on the cover to provide a sleek, tactile feel.

Amy Elliott of Dentons was suitably impressed:
“We are delighted with our new catalogue, it has just hit our customers this week and our phones have been ringing non-stop with new orders and enquiries.  As always, we were looked after every step of the way and are really pleased with the final product.  I always feel that Bishops care about what Dentons are trying to achieve and do all they can to help us get there.  On this project, for example, they suggested we reduce the weight of our catalogue by slicing a small amount off the top of the A5 page size – this saved us 40% on postage costs which equated to thousands of pounds!”

A comprehensive, glossy programme is required at each of Fulham FC’s home fixtures and, having secured the print contract for season 2008-09, we must now consistently produce a high quality publication that will impress the club and their loyal fans.

Since the job is extremely time-sensitive and must be delivered to the strictest of deadlines, it is down to our production and despatch teams to ensure the programme is safely at the stadium when required.

The gloss laminated cover and crisp, vivid printing – particularly with the numerous action images – give the programme a real sense of quality.
