Why Hand Delivery Works
Direct hand delivery reduces waste, increases engagement, and ensures your message reaches real households.
Hand delivery is a proven method for maximising the effectiveness of your direct mail and door drop campaigns. Unlike bulk distribution or unmonitored drops, hand-delivered leaflets offer several clear advantages:
Precision Targeting
Each leaflet is delivered personally to the households you specify, ensuring that your campaign reaches the right audience every time. Avoid wasted materials and missed addresses by using hand distribution to cover only your target areas.
Higher Engagement
Hand-delivered materials are more likely to be noticed, opened, and read than generic or bundled mail drops. Recipients perceive hand-delivered leaflets as professional and relevant, increasing the impact of your campaign.
Full Reporting
iPrintPost provides detailed tracking and reporting for every campaign. You can see exactly where and when deliveries were made, giving confidence for planning, compliance, and auditing purposes.
Flexible & Adaptable
If your campaign area changes due to consultation updates, new project boundaries, or urgent adjustments, we can redefine delivery zones post-submission without restarting the entire order. This flexibility saves time and ensures campaigns remain accurate and compliant.
Eco-Friendly Distribution
Hand delivery significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to bulk van or vehicle distribution. By using local delivery teams and optimising routes, your campaign is more environmentally responsible while still reaching the same households.
Ideal for Sensitive or Targeted Campaigns
Hand delivery is perfect for campaigns that require a personal touch, such as planning consultations, property marketing mailers, or stakeholder notifications. It’s a controlled, professional method that ensures your message is taken seriously.

Correct size
-
Bleed included
-
Resolution appears suitable
We do not proofread content or check spelling unless artwork services are requested.
What happens if my artwork is not set up correctly?
If we identify issues, we will contact you before printing. Minor fixes may incur an artwork charge.
Can you design or amend my artwork?
Yes – we offer a full in-house design and artwork service. Please contact us for a quotation.

Microsoft Office files (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher) can be accepted but may require additional artwork setup and cannot guarantee accurate colour reproduction.
Colour Mode
What colour mode should my artwork be supplied in?
All artwork must be supplied in CMYK colour mode, not RGB.
RGB is used for screens and will convert to CMYK for print, which may cause colour shifts. To ensure accurate results, convert your artwork to CMYK before submitting.

Which colour profile should I use?
We recommend using:
-
Coated paper: FOGRA39 / ISO Coated v2
-
Uncoated paper: FOGRA29 / ISO Uncoated
If you are unsure, please contact us before exporting your file.
Will colours match exactly to my screen?
Printed colours will differ slightly from what you see on screen due to monitor calibration and colour space differences. For brand-critical work, we recommend supplying Pantone references, RALs, hard copy samples you’ve had previously or requesting a printed proof.
Bleed
Do I need to include bleed?
Yes. All artwork must include 5mm bleed on all sides.
This means any background colours, images, or design elements that run to the edge of the page must extend 5mm beyond the trim size.
What is a safe zone?
Keep all important text and logos at least 5mm – 10mm inside the trim edge to avoid risk of trimming variation.

How should I supply multi-page artwork?
Please supply multi-page documents as a single PDF in page order, set up as individual pages (not spreads), unless specifically requested. We will
Include:
-
Correct page size
-
3mm bleed on all pages
-
Consistent margins
- Crop Marks
For stitched booklets, ensure page counts are divisible by 4.
Material Choice
Does paper choice affect artwork?
Yes. Different materials affect colour and finish:
-
Uncoated papers appear softer and slightly less vibrant.
-
Coated papers produce sharper detail and more vibrant colours.
-
Recycled stocks may slightly alter colour tone.
-
Large format materials may require higher resolution artwork.
If you need guidance selecting the right stock for your design, we’re happy to advise.
Text Size
What is the minimum readable text size?
As a general guide:
-
Standard print: Minimum 6pt
-
Reversed (white on colour): Minimum 7–8pt
-
Large format (viewed from distance): Text size should scale accordingly
Avoid very thin fonts below 7pt, as they may not reproduce clearly.
Accesibility
How can I make my artwork more accessible?
We recommend:
-
Strong colour contrast between text and background
-
Minimum 10–12pt body text where possible
-
Avoiding long passages in all caps
-
Not relying on colour alone to convey meaning
-
Clear, legible font choices
If your materials need to meet specific accessibility standards, please let us know.

Minimum recommended size:
-
20 x 20mm for standard print

Larger for posters or outdoor materials
Ensure strong contrast (black on white preferred).
Do I need to test my QR code?
Yes. Always test QR codes before submitting artwork. We can generate static QR codes for you. Ensure your QR code does not require a subscription to stay active.
Can I include clickable links?
Clickable links only function in digital PDFs. For print, ensure URLs are short and easy to type.
Images
What image resolution is required?
-
Standard print: 300ppi at final size
-
Large format: minimum 150ppi at final size
Low-resolution images (72ppi web images) will appear pixelated in print.
How can I check image resolution?
Check the effective resolution in your design software at 100% scale.
Vectors Vs Rasters
What is the difference between vector and raster artwork?
-
Vector graphics (logos, icons, text) are scalable without losing quality.
