We are based at Emersons Green and operate a satellite unit at Frenchay (room 2B030).

Our responsibilities include:

Printing

We print everything for the University from single A4 sheets up to the Prospectus. Work is either undertaken in-house or is outsourced to other companies for reasons of capacity or capability. We are the central point for Print Procurement and work closely with colleagues in Marketing and Communications to ensure all work is produced to match corporate standards. The University's Financial Regulations stipulate that all printing work is handled by this unit.

Marketing Materials and Branded Workwear

The rule is 'any mark on any substrate' so orders for ANY publicity material have to be placed through this unit. It is vital that marketing materials (e.g. stress balls, USB sticks, exhibition stands, pens, mouse mats, posters, banners etc.) bearing the University's name comply with the strict (and necessarily complex) rules for the brand. Please don't spend time looking for suppliers - we already have existing relationships for most materials. Contact us to discuss your requirements as soon as you are able as some items have a long lead-time.

Bulk Mailing and Conference Packs

We don't just print - we can post out for you as well. All the University's prospectuses are posted out from this unit and we do many other mailing jobs as well. Anything from a single letter to conference packs - with different contents for each delegate if required. We are also able to generate complex mail merged documents - where the content changes for each individual. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Dissertation/Thesis Binding (and other options)

We produce hard cover bindings that comply fully with the academic regulations. See the Binding Pages for further information.

Private and Commercial Work

We are happy to undertake work for any individual or organisation and believe we offer a competitively-priced service. Unfortunately, we can only offer this service from Emersons Green unless previous arrangements have been made. Generally, work must be paid for in cash or by cheque on collection but we are able to invoice organisations against official purchase orders.

Stationery

Every item of stationery for the University is supplied through this unit. Pens, pencils, paper, computer consumables, diaries, wall charts - we've got the lot! We carry a large stock of frequently-ordered items, other items are usually available in 2 working days.

Multi-Function Printers

Known as MFPs, we manage the fleet of Canon printers (also known as MFDs - Multi-Function Devices). These replaced the photocopiers in 2004 and are soon to be replaced. We are currently running a project that will change the face of local printing throughout the University. See the Print Strategy pages for further information.

Document Scanning

We can take your paper-based documents and turn them into colour or mono PDF files suitable for printing or sharing on the Internet. The service is chargeable based on the amount of time we spend scanning which in turn is a function of the condition of the original documents and the quality required. We are happy to discuss your requirements.

Archive Storage

PSS control access to the University's off-site storage at Emersons Green. We are able to take delivery of bulk items for storage but filing and document retrieval are the responsibility of the document owners.
