Order personalised funeral stationery online

In the world of print, margins are being squeezed and it is important that we always look to diversify our product range and find new markets. Marstan Press is a family owned company, offering both litho print services and digital printing. Thanks to a recent investment in a 'web-to-print' system we have now launched a website allowing people to order personalised funeral stationery online.

The site called www.fondfarewellfuneralstaionery.co.uk allows users to select a product from our templates and personlise them with their own words and pictures. Funeral order of service printing forms a large part of what we produce, however we do offer other items such as Memorial Cards, Commemorative Posters and Mugs and Acknowledgement Cards.

All items are printed digitally with quick turnrounds. We also offer a bespoke design service where our skilled designers can create a custom set of stationery for your loved one.

How should I set up my artwork ready for printing?

As a litho and digital printing company, we come across artwork files set up in all sorts of programs including InDesign, Quark, Publisher and even Word!

For the best results you should ideally use a professional program such as Quark or Indesign with all images set up as CMYK and not RGB. 3mm bleed should be added and a hi-res PDF created. It is important that the fonts are either embedded or outlined, which will prevent them corrupting when they are processed through the printer's rip. It is also best to set the file up as single pages, rather than printer's spreads.

At Marstan Press we provide quality print services for clients across Kent, London and the wider UK. If you are interested in extending your printing knowledge, we run a free monthly print induction day.

Marstan recommend 'Green Business' during the economic downturn

 Throughout the print production process, we are continually working to reduce our Carbon footprint and environmental impact. It may seem odd to be advocating 'Green' business practices during a time when most companies are already feeling the squeeze. However adopting a change to working practices makes environmental and good business sense.

Simple changes throughout any business in increasing recycling or energy efficiency, will have immediate benefits to profitability and the environment. The Commercial Print industry overall has made significant progress in reducing chemicals in the production process.

Being more energy efficient and environmentally friendly has been at the centre of our company ethos for many years. Within our Litho Print we use Chemical free plate making, we also use recycling methods during our production process. Over the last four years we have introduced Hybrid vehicles into the company fleet, which increases efficiency and reduces costs.
