OUGD502 - Studio Brief 01 - NEST Issue 10 Printing and Foiling

Once the design of the issue had been finalised, the magazine was sent to print. There were many discussions and negotiations had with Pressision about the cost of printing, and the final quote given was £1580.87 for 1000 copies.

During the printing process I visited Pressision to gain a first hand experience of a professional printing environment. The spreads of the magazine were printed by offset printing onto two large double sided sheets. These were then folded multiple times and cut down on side to produce the individual spreads. The spreads were bound and the trimmed again to produce the finished product.

The belly bands were foiled using a white foil and the existing logo foil block from previous print runs. These were left flat so as to reduce the cost of production on this issue.

The issue took just over two weeks to be printed.
