HeidelbergOffset presses

NBV prints catalogs, brochures, coffee-table books, annual reports, manuals and packaging inserts for brands and agencies outside China. Files arrive as PDF, printing and binding happen under one roof, and pallets leave Shenzhen for your warehouse or a trade fair.

Because we are also a design studio, we can take a rough manuscript or a set of product photos and return a print-ready layout — or work straight from finished artwork if your designer has already done the work.

What makes the difference on press

  • Heidelberg Speedmaster presses for consistent colour across long runs
  • Closed-loop spectrophotometer measurement, not eyeballing
  • Contract proof on the production stock before the run starts
  • 80–300 gsm coated, uncoated and specialty stocks held in stock
  • Binding in the same building — no third-party coordination risk

For titles that need to travel well, we can also pre-pack per market, shrink-wrap sets, add belly bands and drop-ship to multiple addresses.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the minimum print run?

500 copies for offset, 50 copies for digital. Digital is the practical route for short runs, reprints, test titles and personalised versions.

What file format should I send?

PDF/X-1a with 3 mm bleed and CMYK colours is ideal. If you only have an InDesign or Illustrator package, send it with fonts and linked images and we will handle the export and preflight.

Can I see a physical proof?

Yes. A digital proof is included. For offset runs we also produce a contract proof on the actual stock, charged at cost and credited against the order.

Do you print hardcover books?

Yes — case-bound hardcover up to roughly 400 pages, with printed case wrap or cloth, head and tail bands, ribbon marker and optional slipcase.

Can you handle multi-language editions?

Yes. We collate and shrink-wrap per market, label cartons by language and can hold stock for staggered release.

How fast can an urgent title ship?

Production is 10–15 working days after proof approval; air express adds 3–7 days depending on destination.
