Vouchers and Promotions

  • There could be a few reasons why this message appears. Firstly, ensure that you've typed the voucher code correctly, making sure there are no spaces between the numbers and letters.

  • No! but your book needs breathing space around your text and picture, so it will look better if important elements are within the green line. Do NOT get to close too the red line. The red line serves as a definite boundary where cropping will occur but this is not 100% accurate; the tolerance is plus or minus 2mm. Positioning your image between the red and green lines may result in an unsightly thin white edge, compromising the overall look. If you want your picture to "bleed" off the page, Drag your image off the page.


  • Yes, there are two ways to order your files. Go to the calculator page of the product that you would like to order, choose the size and finishes that you would like, then either use the link option to send us your files or import your files into a blank project.
