Ordering your job online or through email.
You are able to place an order through our online ordering system. If you don't seem to find the product on our website you can send through an email direct to us at: info@pumphouseprint.co.nz with your order specifications.

We are happy to provide you with a proof prior to you confirming and placing a job order. A surcharge will be in place if the job does not progress from the sample proof.
Our online ordering system may take a few minutes to half an hour to retrieve all the details. If you have not heard from us during the day you can contact us on 09 555 8600 or send us an email to: info@pumphouseprint.co.nz
For most of our products we are happy to run a sample print just before we run the full job run. This is normally done on the day of the print run so we will expect you to be present on-site to check and confirm the sample. If you do not live within the vicinity we can courier the sample out to you at an extra cost.
Once payment has been made and received - and your artwork file has been checked and proofed we can officially start your print job. For digital printing on average it takes 1-3 working days to complete. For Signage, 2-4 working days. This all depends on the quantity of your order where the E.T.A. would normally be judged upon receiving the order. Generally we are quite quick and if not within the day then most likely the following day!

Trim line is where printed products will be cut. Triine mark on the proof will not be printed. Artworks which have images required printing to the edge without white margin need a file with bleed outside of trim line. Therefore, we can print on a larger sheet of paper and then trimmed down to the size. Internal bleed is when all text/important graphics are kept a certain distance in from the trim line. Internal bleed / Safe area is depending on printing process, but it is usually 2~3mm inside of each side of trim line. View Artwork Guide
Vector art is usually created in Adobe Illustrator, and is commonly saved with certain file extensions. Vector file is required for special finish such as foil / embossed / spot UV / letterpress, and so on. The three most common Vector file extensions are .ai, .pdf and .eps. However, just because a file is saved in one of these formats, does not mean that it is truly vector art. If you do not have vector file and unsure what it is, please email us the file you have!
