At Advanced Print, based in Coulsdon, Surrey, we understand that printing is only part of the journey to creating a standout product. The true magic often happens during the print finishing stage—a process that transforms a simple print into a polished, professional piece that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. With over 30 years of experience serving clients across Surrey, South East London, and Kent, we’ve honed our craft to offer a wide range of print finishing services that cater to both small businesses and large-scale operations. Whether you’re producing business cards, brochures, or banners, our finishing techniques ensure your project shines.

What is Print Finishing?

Print finishing encompasses the final steps in the printing process, where your printed materials are refined and enhanced to meet your specific needs. It’s about more than just aesthetics—though that’s certainly a big part of it. Finishing techniques can add durability, functionality, and a tactile quality that elevates the overall experience of your printed product. At Advanced Print, we offer a variety of finishing options to suit projects of all sizes, from urgent short runs to mass-scale lithographic printing projects like newsletters or flyers.

Our Finishing Services

One of our most popular finishing services is lamination, which adds a protective layer to your prints. This not only enhances the visual appeal with a glossy or matte finish but also safeguards against wear and tear—perfect for items like business cards or menus that see frequent handling. For example, a client recently shared how their laminated business cards, produced by us, maintained their pristine look even after months of use, allowing them to confidently hand them out to potential customers.

We also specialize in binding and folding for multi-page documents like brochures and booklets. Whether you need a sleek saddle-stitched booklet or a sturdy perfect-bound book, our team ensures every page is aligned and secure, creating a professional finish that reflects the quality of your brand. For larger formats, such as posters or roll-up banner stands, we offer trimming and mounting services to ensure clean edges and a presentation-ready look.

For those looking to add a touch of luxury, we provide options like embossing and foil stamping. These techniques create a raised or metallic effect that can make logos or text pop, adding a premium feel to invitations, packaging, or promotional materials. Our clients often tell us how these small details make a big difference in how their brand is perceived, helping them stand out in competitive markets.

Tailored Solutions for Every Budget

At Advanced Print, we believe that high-quality finishing shouldn’t be reserved for big-budget projects. That’s why we offer flexible solutions to suit a range of needs. For smaller orders, our digital printing and finishing services provide quick turnaround times without compromising on quality. For larger projects, such as nationwide leaflet distributions, our lithographic printing capabilities paired with advanced finishing techniques ensure consistency and durability across thousands of pieces.

Why Finishing Matters

The right finishing can make or break a project. A well-finished piece not only looks better but also feels better in the hands of your audience. It communicates professionalism and attention to detail—qualities that reflect positively on your business. For instance, a charity client of ours used our custom-printed vests for fundraising events, and despite being put through 25 gruelling obstacle courses, the prints remained vibrant and intact, a testament to the durability our finishing techniques provide.
