After design

Once you’re happy with your design, please place your order! Once you’ve received your order confirmation email, you’ll need to send your artwork to us at artwork@instantprint.co.uk, making sure you tell us your order reference number in the email, and we’ll get back to you ASAP with a proof for you to check and approve.

If your file is over 20MB, you will need to use WeTransfer to send your artwork to us as it will be too big to send via email.

Every piece of artwork is checked by our studio team before print. Unsure of how to set up your artwork? Email our Personal Artworker team at pa@instantprint.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help you!

If you approve your order by 4pm, we’ll dispatch it for delivery within two working days. Delivery then takes a further working day. For example, if you approved your order by 4pm on a Monday, we’d dispatch your order on Wednesday and it’d be delivered on Thursday.

For this print item, you’ll need to email your artwork into us at artwork@instantprint.co.uk to set up a proof. Once you’ve approved your proof, we’ll confirm your expected delivery date with you.

Our standard delivery cost is £4.99, which is DPD tracked delivery. You can also upgrade to DPD pre-noon delivery for £9.99. Standard delivery is free on orders over £75.

How many pages are in an A4 diary?

Each diary consists of 120 printed pages. Of these, four are the covers – the front cover, inside the front cover, inside the back cover and the back cover. You’ll only need to provide a design for the four cover pages as we’ll use a standard diary template for the inner pages.

What stock are diaries printed on?

The inside pages of your diary are 120gsm uncoated stock, which is a thin, writable paper. The covers are printed on a thick 350gsm silk with either a matt or gloss lamination added on the top. We add lamination to keep the diary looking fresh all year long!

Which lamination should I choose?

We offer matt and gloss lamination on all of our diary printing range. Matt lamination gives your print a completely smooth finish, whereas gloss makes the cover shiny. Lamination is applied to the outside of the cover.

How big is the wire coil?

The wire coil diameter measure 14mm.

How do I upload my design?

You should send us your diary artwork after placing your order. To do this, complete your order without artwork and then email your artwork to our Studio team at artwork@instantprint.co.uk who’ll then set it up for print for you.

Why is VAT applied to my diary order?

As diaries are intended for writing in, VAT is applied as standard. VAT is included in the price shown upon selecting your order quantities.
