Lot Information

Applicant pack including print fulfilment and mail-out

The print and fulfilment of the Applicant Pack is a key document for LJMU, as potential students apply to Liverpool John Moores University. The process for these packs is as follows: LJMU send the prospective student an informative Applicant Handbook, and an invitation to the Applicant Day This is an extremely complex job that requires litho and digital print with specific and exacting requirements, as well as on site mailing. Please note the use of a separate mailing house is not acceptable. All printing and fulfilment must take place on the same site. This is a data protection issue, i.e., to minimise the risk of data being shared/going missing, we will only have a data sharing agreement with the printers, and not a third party. All litho and digital print must be as specified below.

Prospectus and mini-guide and other litho print

This lot requires the supplier to have a B1 press due to the quantity produced, the size of the prospectus and the need to have them produced in a tight timescale. The Undergraduate prospectus and mini-guide are two of the most important print jobs that LJMU produce. We have extremely high quality design, and require a supplier to have high quality print to reflect this. All of these requirements are non vatable

Digital print for small and large jobs

LJMU requires a number of digital print jobs throughout the year, we pride ourselves on our high-quality design, and chose stock to suit our design and corporate brand. We prefer our digital print to be on HP Indigo printers, using Genyous for Indigo stock. HP Indigo presses give the best likeness to litho printing quality on uncoated stock, this is down to the high-quality smooth matt finish - rather than the shiny finish that most other digital print offers. Genyous stock suits our artwork because it comes in a wide grammage range suitable for both inners and covers, and vibrant colour finish. All items are non-vatable.

Large format print including pop-up banners, storage and set up and signage

LJMU use a large quantity of large format print items each year. These include pop-up banners, podium and signage for external events. The Service The supplier will be required to liaise with many different departments across the University to understand delivery/installation requirements, the primary relationship will be with the LJMU Brand and Design Team. LJMU will often provide artwork for banners, but may also require the supplier to create artwork in the same LJMU style, especially if needed at short notice, with approval from the LJMU Brand and Design Team, understanding our brand style is key.
