The principle, in one paragraph

There is no reseller programme here and no discount to negotiate: the price shown on the site, or written on your quote, is the price your agency pays, with a VAT invoice in your agency's name, and you bill your client at whatever price you set. We think that is more useful than a percentage off, because it keeps things simple and predictable for you. In return, three services built for people who print on behalf of someone else: neutral shipping in your name, a proof routed to whoever you choose, and one professional account for every brand of the OFICIO group.

On this site, that applies to the whole catalogue: brochures, catalogues, books and magazines, saddle-stitched, perfect bound, sewn or hardback, from 50 copies.

Three services built for agencies

What an agency printing on behalf of a client receives, at no extra cost and with nothing to negotiate.

The whole catalogue, delivered in your name

The four families of publications on Multi-pages, all available with neutral shipping, from 50 copies.

What we do, and what we do not do

Who it is for

Freelance designers, design studios, communication and event agencies, publishers who outsource production, web freelancers adding print to their offer, and local printers who subcontract perfect bound or sewn work they cannot produce in-house. Typical jobs: a corporate brochure for a client's trade show, an exhibition catalogue for a gallery, a short-run book for an author published by a small press, a quarterly magazine for a membership organisation.

Getting started

  1. Send your first request with the form below: format, pages, quantity, paper and binding if you already know them, or the PDF and we will suggest a specification.
  2. State "neutral shipping" in the description and give your client's delivery address, or your own if you want to check the job first.
  3. Your professional account is created with the first order; quotes, proofs and invoices for every later job are filed there, and you can invite colleagues.

FAQ – Designers and agencies

Is there a discount for agencies?

No. The public price is the same for everyone and your margin is built on your selling price. In return you get the online proof at no charge, the preflight check, neutral shipping and a reply within 2 working hours.

Can you deliver straight to my client without them knowing it comes from you?

Yes. The parcel carries no invoice, no price and no group logo; your agency appears as the sender on the label and the delivery note. Tick neutral shipping on the order and give us your client's address.

Can my client approve the proof themselves?

Yes. The online proof is routed to the address you choose, with no mention of us; you stay in copy and see the time-stamped approval in your account.

Do you supply layout guides and colour profiles?

Yes. Page-setup guides with bleed, safe area and spine width are given on each product page and sent with the quote for bespoke formats; we work from standard offset colour profiles and tell you which one applies.

Do I get a VAT invoice in my agency's name?

Yes. Orders from this site are invoiced by OFICIO LTD in the United Kingdom; a French invoice from OFICIO FRANCE SAS is possible depending on the brand and the payment method, and the invoicing entity is stated on the quote.
