Division 03 — MARIEDA
Printing & Production
What exists on screen must exist in the hand
Printing on every substrate, signage, promotional items, workwear and corporate publications, from the file to the product delivered assembled.
The need
A print order is one of the few line items where a mistake cannot be recovered. A file in RGB instead of CMYK, a missing bleed, a font left unoutlined, and you have five hundred brochures in the wrong colours the day before a trade show. The run is paid for, and the date does not move.
We check the files before anything is launched, and we submit a press proof. What you approve is what you receive. If a file is not fit for print, we correct it or redraw it — and we tell you beforehand, not afterwards.

How we work
- 01
Quotation against a specification
Format, substrate, weight, finishing, quantity, deadline. The unit price falls quickly with quantity: we systematically price two or three tiers so that you can arbitrate.
- 02
File checking
Colour, resolution, bleed, fonts. We report every non-conformity in writing and propose the correction before invoicing anything.
- 03
Press proof
A proof approved by you, on paper for sensitive runs. It is the reference document in the event of a dispute — for you as much as for us.
- 04
Production and delivery
Printing, finishing, quality control, delivery on site. Items that need assembling (roll-ups, stands) are delivered assembled and checked.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked before an order is placed. The answers are binding: you may hold us to them in person.
-
What files do you need to start a print job?
- A vector PDF with bleed, or the working files with the fonts. If all you have is a low-resolution logo — the most common case — we redraw it as vector before printing: charged once, and you leave with a reusable file that belongs to you.
-
Do you deliver items assembled and installed?
- Yes. Roll-ups, stands, shop signs, site boards and window graphics are delivered assembled and installed on site. Vehicle wrapping is done in our workshop, with the vehicle off the road for half a day.
-
Do you manufacture garments, or buy them in to brand them?
- Both, depending on the need. We brand ready-made garments when quantities are small or the deadline short, and we manufacture to measure in our own workshop whenever the cut, the fabric or the size is not available off the shelf — workwear, uniforms, hosting and runway outfits.
