Product description
Read all about it with our custom Newspapers—whether you're promoting a business, showcasing an upcoming event, celebrating a milestone with a wedding newspaper, or creating a cherished keepsake like a personalised birthday newspaper, our publications deliver your message with clarity, creativity, and a personal touch.
Available in traditional tabloid sizes, including A3 newspapers, or tailored to your unique specifications, our newspaper printing features premium cover materials from uncoated to silk finishes, ensuring a polished look that captures attention. Opt for classic black and white, or print your own newspaper in vibrant colour to match the theme of your special event.
The inner pages are crafted from high-quality uncoated or silk stocks, providing a tactile reading experience that feels as good as it looks. Our newspaper print is designed to be folded, gathered and endorsed (though not stapled), offering flexibility and a professional finish. Each publication can feature between 8 to 16 pages, including the covers, making every personalised newspaper the ideal canvas for sharing event highlights, business information or meaningful stories.

Top tip
Keep your layout clean and readable with strong text-background contrast, bold headlines, clear fonts, and ample white space. Small font sizes can be hard to read in dense layouts, so we recommend a minimum of 10pt for body text and 18-24pt for headlines to ensure readability.

FAQs
Newspaper printing is a powerful marketing tool that enables businesses to effectively reach a broad audience with targeted messaging. As a trusted medium for delivering news and information, it offers reliable, in-depth coverage that enhances credibility. Custom newspapers also present a unique alternative to traditional catalogues, seamlessly blending advertisements, promotions, and engaging content into a tangible, memorable format that captures readers' attention.
We offer custom newspaper printing in two different sizes: A3 (297 x 420mm) and tabloid (289 x 380mm).
Silk: This paper provides a smooth, slightly shiny surface that enhances vibrancy while minimising glare.
Uncoated: This paper offers a natural, matt texture that absorbs ink for a softer print look.
Newspaper pages are first printed, then carefully gathered and assembled, before being folded into their final form, without the use of staples. If you prefer a stapled newspaper option, our bespoke printing services can help you.
The turnaround time for newspaper printing depends on your chosen product specification and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost. To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
We offer free standard delivery, with optional upgrades available for expedited service, including pre-10:30 AM and pre-12:00 PM for an additional cost.
Uploading custom newspaper artwork is a breeze. After placing your order, click the upload button on the confirmation page. You can also upload your artwork through the Orders tab of "My Account".
All orders will be packaged and shipped in boxes as standard. For larger orders, boxes will be secured and shipped on pallets; you’ll be notified at checkout if this applies. If your delivery address is inaccessible to a tail lift truck, please contact us to discuss alternative delivery arrangements.
Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant product template from our templates section. Don’t forget to delete the template layer before exporting your design to PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.
