provides accurate colour reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.
Whether you need business cards, brochures, pocket folders, rack cards—you name it—
the offset printing process from start to finish follows the same cycle. We will guide you and

pieces at competitive prices for over 30 years.

Digital Printing Services at SVP Printing

Step 1: Design

Whether you send us your artwork, or we provide creative services for you, all great printing
jobs start with a great design. In this part of the printing process, decisions are made
regarding colour, layout, font, paper type, coatings (UV, matte, for example) etc. Even if you
design your artwork, we are here to help with questions and expert advice to ensure that
your final product represents your brand.

Printing process, graphic design

Step 2: Estimate

An estimate may happen concurrently with the design process, or once you know the
specifications of the item being printed. If we are designing artwork for you, this quote will
include graphic design fees. To learn more about what information is needed for the most
accurate price estimates, read our blog on print specifications.

Step 3: Prepress
The next step in the printing process is prepress work. Your digital art file is made into a
proof, showing what the final printed piece will look like. Today, most proofs are sent to
clients digitally as a PDF. This is sometimes called a soft proof or an eProof. Clients can
then review the PDF for spacing, colour, typos. This is the time to make any changes.

For some print jobs, especially when colour needs to be matched precisely, or a new
element (paper, coating, etc.) is being utilized, a hard-copy proof may be helpful. A hard
copy high-resolution prepress proof gives a more accurate indication of how the final
printed piece will look.

Finally, if offset printing, we make plates. This blog explains the differences between offset
printing and digital printing.

Printing process, proofing

Step 4: Printing

This is the step in the offset printing process in which your printed materials are produced
on press. During offset printing, we do not transfer colour directly onto the paper. We use
aluminium plates to transfer the artwork onto a rubber blanket. We then roll the image onto
a sheet of paper. Offset printing leaves high-quality prints with accurate colour, crisp and
professional-looking results. Offset is one of the best among printing options.

Step 5: Bindery and Finishing

During this step, we trim, fold, score, hole punch, batch, collate, etc. your printed materials
to match the specifications for the final product. Your brochure will look like a trifold
brochure and note pages will be glued into note pads. Final printed items will also be
carefully boxed up for delivery.

Step 6: Delivery

The final step in the printing process is to deliver the printed pieces to the client. Or, if a
direct mailing or fulfilment piece, they are dropped mail to the recipients. It is always
exciting to see the results and rewarding to hear from our satisfied clients.
Flex banner with a wooden frame is made by first printing the desired design onto a flex
banner material, typically PVC. Then, a wooden frame is constructed to the appropriate
size, and the printed flex banner is secured to the frame using various methods, such as
stapling or glueing.

Detailed Steps:

1. Design and Printing:

The desired design is created and printed onto a flex banner material (often PVC) using
digital printing techniques.

2. Frame Construction:

A wooden frame is built to the desired dimensions, ensuring it’s sturdy enough to support
the flex banner.

3. Secure Attachment:

The printed flex banner is attached to the wooden frame. This can be done using various
methods, including:

Stapling: Staplers are used to secure the banner to the frame, often along the edges.

Glueing: A strong adhesive is used to bond the flex banner to the frame.

Eyelets and Rope/Wire: Eyelets are inserted into the banner and frame, allowing for the
attachment of rope or wire for hanging.

4. Finishing Touches:

Once the banner is securely attached, any necessary finishing touches, such as adding a
border or decorative elements, can be made.

Material Quality: Using high-quality flex banner material and sturdy wood ensures the
banner’s durability and longevity.

Print Quality: High-resolution printing is crucial for a visually appealing banner.

Safety: Ensure the banner is securely installed and doesn’t pose any safety risks.

Acrylic ACP LED Glow Sign Boards – Detailed description

In the consumer and retail store business, many customers make purchase decisions and
judgements based on first impressions. That’s exactly why shopping malls are typically so
glitzy and alluring. Shopfronts, building facades and store entrances are all designed to
entice prospective clients to walk in.

And the primary component of your storefront is the shop’s signboard. In addition to
showcasing your company’s name and brand, this signboard has to be so attractive, that it
should literally stop people in their tracks.

Extremely beautiful looking acrylic sign board with a metallic finish and a back glow.
Letters fabricated out of highly polished gold metal fitted on white acrylic laser cut letters
Different kinds of boards serve different purposes and align with the way the brand
positions itself. Blinking lights attract attention. Bright neon light signs in fluorescent
colours stand out and create a festive, high energy, party-like atmosphere.

On the other hand, a signboard fabricated in gold-finished 3D letters conveys an

impression of a store having rich and high-quality products.

Finally, you must’ve also seen large sky signs on the top of tall buildings. They make your
brand visible for miles across the city skyline and end up becoming identifiable landmarks.

With the wide variety of signboards possible, one can choose an acrylic glow sign board
that emulates the business entity’s personality. And the correct option can set the right
tone and atmosphere to make business deals more conducive.

3. 2D Stencil Cut Acrylic Letter Sign Boards

This type of board is used where the letters are very small or the content on the signboard is
very intricate. The acrylic letters are not 3D but flush with the base-board. As the name
suggests, the letters are hollowed out from the base ACP frame similar to how a stencil is
cut from paper.

Stencil cut acrylic signboards are ideal for acrylic shop boards with a lot of content in

All signs generally have three main components:

The base structure of the board. This takes the form of a metal box with a frame. At Orchid
Digitals, we use a material called ACP – Aluminum Composite Panel for creating this base.

The letters or logos that are installed on top of the base: These letters are typically
fabricated out of a shiny glass-like plastic sheet called acrylic.

The light components embedded inside the letters or in the base-board to give colours and
light effects to the above-mentioned acrylic letters. Modern signs are generally lit up by
LEDs
