Cape Town notes on print shop
City centre and Century City firms order annual reports, company profiles and business cards, and restaurants on Bree Street and Kloof Street change menus every season. Wedding planners for the Winelands and the Atlantic Seaboard want letterpress style invitations, foiled place cards and order of service booklets. Students at UCT and CPUT print theses and posters near Rondebosch and the District Six campus. Ask for both digital and litho prices on runs over a few thousand.
Cape Town: the work, the weather and the print shops
Film crews, ad agencies and the events calendar give the Mother City a different print rhythm from the rest of the country. Shoots need set graphics, prop prints and location paperwork; the CTICC brings conference backdrops and exhibition stands; and the summer tourist season fills orders for menus, maps, wine estate brochures and hotel stationery. Design studios in Woodstock and the city centre want fine papers, foiling and short runs, while Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland host the big litho presses, sign makers and wide format printers. The summer southeaster tears banners, winter fronts bring heavy rain, and salt air near the coast is hard on steel.
Typical printing services requests in the area come from:
- Companies and offices: letterheads, company profiles, reports and training manuals printed to a set standard
- Events, conferences and clubs: programmes, tickets, name badges and posters for conferences, races and expos
- Shops, restaurants and salons: menus, price tags, promotional flyers and window posters changed with every special
