• Do I have to pay Vat on folded menus?

  Most of the time folded menus are zero-rated, however, can be subject to VAT depending on the information supplied. If the design contains a message like ‘bring this leaflet in store to get 10% discount’ the print will be deemed to be a voucher and subject to Vat. Another circumstance whereby Vat is chargeable, is if the design contains a form.

• How do you print your z-folded menus?

  We use digital and lithographic printing techniques to offer both small and large run z-fold menus at the most competitive prices. Your design will be printed in full colour to one or both sides using a CMYK process.

• What is CMYK?

  CMYK is an acronym for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These are the colours used in the printing process of your z-fold menus.

• What do you mean by crease fold?

  When folding thicker paper like 250gsm, the fibers at the edge of the flap can sometimes crack. In order to prevent this, any paper stock that is 250gsm or thicker is crease folded. Creasing weakens the paper at the fold to make it easier to fold.

• What is uncoated paper stock?

  Uncoated has no surface coating with a rougher texture that is suitable for writing on.

• What is gloss paper stock?

  Gloss paper is a smooth-coated stock that has a shiny surface and is brilliant for designs with vibrant colours, backgrounds and images.

• What is silk paper stock?

  Silk paper is a coated stock with a slight sheen. This allows the print to be vibrant and crisp but has a softer undertone than a high-shine gloss finish. This stock is also suitable to write on with a ballpoint pen.

• The patience alone of this company deserves recognition! I'm a dinosaur when it comes to ordering things online. But after years of being overcharged by my local printers, I decided to take a leap of faith online. Cheap as Prints were recommended by a friend, and its been blissful ever since! Aleya from customer services patiently took all my requirements and ensured the artwork team delivered exactly what I needed. I was extremely pleased with the design and printing of my A4 folded leaflets. Will shop online more often, the savings made on my order was incredible! 5-star service!

• Amazing products and first-class customer service! All the staff are ever so helpful and always go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction whenever issues arise. To be fair, most if not all issues have been courier related, which is no fault of Cheap as Prints. But in any case, all problems and delays are always resolved with minimum fuss.
