Placing an Order

Step-by-step guide to creating a print order on NowToPrint.

Order Steps

Create a quote request with the product, quantity, dimensions, paper and finishing or binding requirements.
Add your file through the relevant flow when it is ready. Check bleed, resolution and colour requirements against the product and printer’s specifications; one setting does not fit every job.
Review the returned quote’s specifications, total amount, currency, payment terms and delivery conditions.
Accept a suitable quote and confirm the requested quantity and delivery details. The accepted quantity must match the RFQ; a different delivery city/country can require a new quote. Check the resulting order number and status.
Complete the recorded payment requirement and any requested file revision or proof approval. A payment-readiness check does not record money received. Creating an order does not by itself start production.

Print Options

Paper Types

These examples explain common paper choices. Availability varies by product and printer; use the paper and weight specified in your quote.

Gloss Coated	135–350 gsm	Vibrant colours
Bristol	300–400 gsm	Thick, ideal for cards
Kraft	120–300 gsm	Natural look

Coatings

Availability and pricing for matt/gloss lamination, soft touch or varnish depend on the product and supplier. Include your preference in the request and check the final specification and amount in the quote.

Quantity Pricing

Tiered Pricing Example

Changing quantity can affect both unit price and total cost. The current price depends on the quantity, production method and specifications in the quote you accept. This guide is not a price list.

Delivery Address

Saved Addresses

If you use a saved address, check that the recipient, contact details and delivery location are correct for this order.

When entering a new address provide:

Recipient full name

City and district
Postal code
Contact phone number

Order Summary

Before accepting, check specifications, quantity, total amount, currency, tax information, shipping charges and payment terms. Do not assume that shipping is free or that one tax rate applies to every order. Resolve missing or conflicting information with the supplier or support before accepting.

Confirmation

After the order is created, check its number and status on the order screen. If the confirmation email does not arrive promptly, check your spam folder; do not accept the same quote again solely because an email is missing. Contact support with the order number if the problem continues.
