Welkom notes on print shop
Mine contractors order numbered permit books, induction booklets and site forms, and schools in Riebeeckstad and Welkom want newsletters and matric invitations. Families in Thabong, Odendaalsrus and Virginia order funeral programmes and unveiling invitations, often with only a day or two to spare. Farming co-operatives towards Hennenman and Allanridge ask for auction catalogues and price lists. Send a print-ready PDF with bleed and check the proof.
Print, signs and branding in Welkom
Welkom was laid out as the planned heart of the Free State goldfields, and the deep mines around it are still a large source of print work. Shafts and contractors need safety signs, induction booklets, permit books, reflective decals and embroidered workwear, while the mine hostels and townships of Thabong and Odendaalsrus bring funerals, churches, soccer clubs and stokvels. The wide maize and sunflower farming region around the goldfields adds co-operatives, auctions and agricultural shows, and the motor racing circuit outside town brings big events. Print shops are spread through the CBD and the shopping areas near the town's many traffic circles, with sign makers in the industrial area. Couriers from Johannesburg take a day or so. Hot summers and hail wear signs.
Typical book printing requests in the area come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: short run printing and binding for publishers and designers on trade terms
- Government and municipalities: reports, manuals and records printed for departments and state entities
- Small businesses and start-ups: self-published guides, receipt books and order books for daily trading
