Clear, Trusted Comms: A5 Guidebook Printing for Metlink

When Metlink needed to communicate major updates to Wellington’s public transport network, they came to us with one clear goal: make it simple, clear and fast. This wasn’t just a design job, it was a public-facing document designed to help thousands of commuters navigate timetable and connection changes across buses, trains and ferries. The result? A sleek, accessible A5 guidebook that matched Metlink’s brand and met a tight rollout deadline.

We took care of the full production, starting with layout and design based on supplied content, then printing 1,000 copies using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. That machine’s no-nonsense colour accuracy and consistency was exactly what the job needed. Printed CMYK throughout, the booklet featured a durable 240gsm offset cover and 120gsm offset pages giving it enough weight to feel substantial, but still easy to flick through. Finished with saddle-stitching and trimmed to A5 size, every copy looked crisp, professional and purpose-built.

Fast turnaround, no compromise on quality

We ran electronic proofs and even mocked up a physical proof to make sure everything hit the mark. Turnaround from layout to delivery was just a few days, because when public comms are on the line, deadlines matter.
