Order of service Β· printed in SE1

Printed today. Handled with care.

Order of service booklets for funerals, memorials, weddings and christenings. A5, 4 to 12 pages, on three good stocks. Order by 3pm and they're printed the same day.

4 pages

One sheet, folded once.

Cover Β· order of the day Β· photo Β· back

A 4-page order of service is a single A4 sheet folded to A5. The cover, the running order inside, a photo or a few words opposite, and a thank-you on the back.

8 or 12 pages

Room for the hymns. And the photos.

4 pages

More sheets nest inside the first and two staples go through the fold, so it opens flat in the hand. Room for readings, hymn words and a page of photos.

For every service

Funerals. Weddings. Christenings.

In loving memory

The same booklet works for any day people gather. Send us your design, or the words and photos, and we'll lay it out and send a proof.

Three stocks

Silk, uncoated or recycled.

250gsm silk is smooth with a soft sheen, and photos look their best on it. 250gsm uncoated is easy to write on. 300gsm off-white recycled is made from used coffee cups and feels the most special.

Quantities

Ten for family. Five hundred for a full church.

10 booklets

Order 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 or 500. If you're not sure how many people will come, order a few extra.

Order by 3pm

Printed today. No VAT to pay.

From Β£59 for 10. Order by 3pm, Monday to Friday, and collect from SE1 this afternoon, have them couriered across London today, or sent next working day.

    Something to hold on to.

    An order of service tells people where they are in the day: when to stand, what to sing, who's speaking. Afterwards it goes home in a coat pocket and ends up on the mantelpiece or in a drawer of things worth keeping.

    We print them A5, folded and stapled, on three stocks we'd choose ourselves. Send a finished design, or send the words and photos and we'll lay it out and send you a proof. Order by 3pm and they're printed the same day, because the date doesn't move.

    How much room you need.

    Pages come in fours, because each A4 sheet folds into four A5 pages. Here's what usually fits, laid out in reading order, with the cover and back in pink. Tap one to set it at the top.

    Ten pages of content? Make it 12 and use the spare page for a poem, a favourite photo or a note about donations. Need 16 or more? Email hello@rapidprintpro.com and we'll quote it as a booklet.

    Three stocks

    Paper you'll want to keep.

    All three are heavy enough to feel like a keepsake, not a handout. If you can't decide, silk is the safe choice, and recycled is the one people pick up and notice.

    Working back from the day

    No design? Send us the words.

    Email the wording, the running order and your photos to hello@rapidprintpro.com. Tell us the date of the service. We'll lay it out, send you a proof to check, and only print once you've said yes.

    01Gather the wordsThe full name, dates, where and when, and the running order: music in and out, who's speaking, hymns and readings. Ask the celebrant or vicar for their order of the day.
    02Choose the photosOne for the cover and a few for inside. Old prints are fine: scan them at 600dpi, or bring them in and we'll scan them.
    03Check it with someone elseNames, dates and hymn words are the things that get missed when you're tired. A second pair of eyes is worth it.
    04Order by 3pm the day beforeWe print the same day, but a day's breathing room means nobody is waiting on a courier on the morning.
    05Collect or have them deliveredCollect free from SE1, have them couriered across London the same day, or sent next working day.

    Artwork, sorted.

    Six things to get right on an order of service.

    One PDF, single pages

    Send a PDF of single A5 pages (148 Γ— 210mm) in reading order: cover first, back cover last. Not spreads, and not already imposed. JPEG and PNG are fine too.

    Pages in fours

    4, 8 or 12 pages exactly. If you've got 10, add a poem, a photo or a notes page rather than leaving two blank.

    Bleed and safe area

    Run photos and backgrounds 3mm past the edge on every side. Keep text 3mm in from the trim, and a little more on the inside edge where the fold is.

    Photos

    300dpi at the size they'll print. Scan old prints at 600dpi. A photo saved from WhatsApp or Facebook will look soft, so ask the family for the original.

    Text size

    Hymn words at 11pt or more: people read them standing up, and not everyone has their glasses. Nothing under 8pt anywhere.

    Colour

    CMYK is safest. Black and white photos look best set to greyscale, not left in colour. Flatten transparency before you export.

    Questions.

    How quickly can I get them?

    Order by 3pm, Monday to Friday, and they're printed the same day. Collect free from 27 Tabard Street, SE1 4LA, have them couriered across London (arrives same day, Β£45), or DPD next working day from Β£9.99.

    How much are they?

    From Β£59 for 10 four-page booklets on 250gsm silk. The price box at the top shows the live price for every page count, stock and quantity, and there's no VAT to add.

    Why is there no VAT?

    Printed booklets and leaflets are zero-rated for VAT in the UK, so the price you see is the price you pay, plus any delivery.

    How many should I order?

    One per person or couple you expect, plus 10 to 20 extra. People take a spare for someone who couldn't come, and it's much cheaper than a reprint. You can order 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 or 500.

    What size are they?

    A5 (148 Γ— 210mm) when folded: an A4 sheet folded in half. Need a different size? Email hello@rapidprintpro.com.

    Can you design it for me?

    Yes. Email the words, running order and photos to hello@rapidprintpro.com with the date of the service. We'll lay it out and send a proof, and nothing prints until you've approved it.

    Will you check my spelling?

    We check every file for print problems: low-resolution photos, text too close to the edge, missing pages. We don't proofread the words, so please have someone check names, dates and hymn words before you send it.

    Which stock should I choose?

    Silk if the photos matter most, uncoated for a softer, natural look that's easy to read, and 300gsm off-white recycled for something that feels like a keepsake.

    Do you print for weddings and christenings too?

    Yes. It's the same booklet: weddings, blessings, christenings, naming days and memorial services.

    Can I collect them on the morning of the service?

    We're open Monday to Friday. If the service is on a Monday, order by 3pm on Friday and collect them then, or choose Saturday delivery for a weekend service.

    Order before 3pm

    When you'll have them.
