The production process
Browse the catalog and find your product
Start by identifying the product or service that fits your project. Use the Services tab to explore product categories — large format, displays, vinyls, digital printing, packaging, and publications. If you’re not sure which product or material is right, describe your need in the quote form and we’ll advise.
Submit a quote request
Fill out the online quote form with your project details: product type, dimensions, quantity, material preferences, finishing, and deadline. You can also email us directly or call the Juan de Mena production center. The more detail you provide, the more precise the quote will be.
File review and pre-press check
Once the project is confirmed, submit your print-ready files. Our pre-press team reviews every file before production — checking color mode (CMYK), resolution, bleed, font embedding, and dieline accuracy. If corrections are needed, we notify you before any production begins.
Quote approval and payment
You receive a detailed quote confirming specs, materials, quantity, unit cost, and lead time. Production begins only after written approval and payment confirmation, according to the agreed terms.
Production
Your project enters the production queue at our Juan de Mena facility. Printing, cutting, finishing, and binding are all performed on-site. We carry out individual color control on all digital press runs.
Turnaround times
Lead times depend on the product, quantity, and current production load. As a general reference:| Product type | Typical lead time |
|---|---|
| Digital printing (flyers, brochures) | 2–4 business days |
| Large-format banners and roll-ups | 2–3 business days |
| Vinyls (cut or printed) | 2–4 business days |
| PLV displays and custom structures | 5–10 business days |
| Packaging (with dieline) | 5–10 business days |
| Books and publications | 5–10 business days |
These are approximate timelines from the point of file approval, not from the initial quote request. Rush production is available for some products — ask at the time of quoting.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pay?
How do I pay?
Payment terms are agreed at the time of quoting and vary by client and project size. First-time clients typically pay in full before production. Established accounts may have agreed credit terms. We accept bank transfer and standard business payment methods.
Can I get a proof before full production?
Can I get a proof before full production?
Yes. For color-critical projects (packaging, brand materials, large editions), we offer digital PDF proofs and, on request, physical contract proofs. Proof costs and lead times are included in the project quote when applicable.
What happens if my file needs corrections?
What happens if my file needs corrections?
If our pre-press team identifies issues — wrong color mode, missing bleed, low-resolution images, unembedded fonts — we contact you before touching the production queue. We describe the specific issue and the correction required. Simple corrections are often resolved same-day; complex remounting may affect the lead time.
