Print is our heritage, Vanguard has been delivering print solutions for over 50 years and uses a range of offset and digital presses to deliver CMYK, PMS and varnish combinations that best suit your image reproduction, functionality, timing and finishing options.
We don’t compromise on quality, partnering with machinery leaders Heidelberg and Ricoh.
Products that we regularly print include: Business stationary, magazines, custom books, catalogues, packaging, annual reports, school year books, folders, maps, brochures, newsletters, posters.
Clarity Print — recently acquired by Vanguard Print — is a specialist screen printing business with heritage dating back to 1976. We now offer state-of-the-art screen-printing solutions, where mesh is used to transfer ultra violet ink onto various paper, vinyl and polypropylene substrates to achieve precise detail.
Products within our portfolio include long life outdoor vinyl stickers, book cover embellishments, folders and business stationary. Select from our wide range of embellishments to promote tactility and achieve a premium finish for your branded products.
Large Format typically involves promotional items, where we print on corflute, aluminium composite board, banner and self-adhesive vinyl.
Products within our portfolio include: corflute pointer boards and figurines, real estate sign boards, building signs, pull up banners, flags, tear drop banners, marques, window graphics and car wraps.
Our finishing capacity is second to none and means that everything done to the printed sheet to make it a final product is done in-house. Finishing includes, trimming, folding, saddle stitching, perfect binding, laminating, and other embellishments, die cutting and mailing. This means we can control the quality and timing of your project output end-to-end.
Binding will have a major impact on the cost and presentation of your book or magazine. Vanguard Print will always help you select the bind that’s right for your product, with the two major options being:
Lamination refers to applying a plastic coating (think polypropylene) to a finished product. It can drastically change the final appearance and feel of your final product, elevating it to another level of quality, and improve durability. Some of our lamination finishes include:
More subtle than lamination, varnish is a liquid finish applied via the printing press to seal in and protect the ink on a printed surface. It can be ideal for saddle stitched products for a premium finish.
Folding is an essential finishing process for many print projects and Vanguard Print can execute just about any fold you desire, from simple half-folds to more complicated map folds and folded inserts within book covers or magazines. Some common folds include:
Die Cutting is the art of finishing products in a custom shape to add flare or a special effect to your job. Custom die cutting for business cards, postcards, packaging, and other marketing tools can amplify your brand awareness.
Mail remains a crucial distribution channel to ensure your brand reaches households and communicates with your target audience. The Australia Post offering is often misunderstood and mismanaged, which is where we can help.
As distribution experts (See Vanguard Distribution) we can guide you through Australia Post’s service offering, ensuring your print specification and distribution plan are aligned to save money and manage timelines.
Mail services regularly include database and address management, polywrapping, enveloping and parcel services.
It will depend on your order type and the department you are after. The easiest way is to connect with us here or speak with your Vanguard representative who can help assist you in placing your order with us.
What is Offset? Offset printing is generally used for larger printing projects due to the set up costs involved. It works by transferring full colour (CMYK), Special Colours (PMS) and/or varnish inks from a plate to a rubber sheet, which then rolls the ink onto paper, vinyl or other surface.
On the other hand, you have digital printing. This method is great for most people who are looking for small quantities of printed material, or products where variable data; such as numbering, barcodes or addresses are needed. Digital printing uses a different method from offset, where the ink or toner is applied directly to the paper and does not use a printing plate or rubber sheet.
As a general rule, larger quantities are more suited to offset print and smaller quantities are suited to digital on demand print, however your Vanguard representative will help you determine if Offset or Digital on demand is best for your project.
