Andrew

DIRECTOR

"1 part executive, 1 part entrepreneur, 1 part IT/fix-it guy, 4 parts dad, and 1 part husband… do I have too many parts?

After over 20 years of experience in supplying diaries to schools and tertiary institutions, I can certainly answer any diary question that comes my way. One may say, I’m the diary guru!

This now has expanded into yearbooks, leaver clothing and branded products. I was once previously known as the ‘Knower of All’, however, these days I’m referred to as ‘The Guy who finds the answer!’

FAQS

How fast can you print and deliver my yearbooks?

We aim to dispatch from one week after artwork approval, and we guarantee dispatch within two weeks. All jobs are booked into our production schedule in advance with your deadline locked in, so there are no last-minute scrambles. We use Australia's fastest courier options and same-day dispatch where available.

What software can I use to design my yearbook?

We accept artwork from Canva (free for schools, templates available), Picaboo dedicated yearbook software, Adobe InDesign, and pretty much any other software including Microsoft Word, Publisher and Google Slides. We can prepare a print-ready PDF from most supplied files. Our blog has setup guides for each option.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

We work with schools of all sizes. Contact us with your estimated quantity and we'll provide a clear quote. Smaller runs are absolutely fine — and you can adjust your quantity right up until you approve your artwork, so you're never locked in early.

How does your pricing work — are there hidden costs?

Everything is detailed in your quote upfront. Once you sign your order form, we hold your pricing firm. There are no hidden extras or last-minute variations. We want you to be able to present a confident budget to your school — and stick to it.

What are the artwork specifications for yearbook pages?

Text pages need to be supplied in multiples of 4 due to the way we print. We recommend high-resolution files (300dpi) with 3mm bleed on all sides. Our blog has detailed setup guides for Canva, InDesign, Word and other common tools. And our free artwork review service will check your files before we go to print.

How does your pricing work — are there hidden costs?

Everything is detailed in your quote upfront. Once you sign your order form, we hold your pricing firm. There are no hidden extras or last-minute variations. We want you to be able to present a confident budget to your school — and stick to it.

What binding options are available for school yearbooks?

For soft cover books: PUR binding (the strongest glue binding available, for books 40pp or more) or saddle stitching (for books up to 64pp, must be a multiple of 4). For hard cover case bound books: PUR binding or section sewn. We're happy to recommend the best option for your page count and budget.

Can students order their own yearbooks directly?

Yes — this is one of our most popular options for P&C committees and school administrators. Students can order and pay for their yearbooks directly through our online ordering system, removing the payment admin from the school entirely. Ask us how to set this up when you get in touch.

Can you professionally design our yearbook for us?

Absolutely. Our full design service means you supply the content — photos, text, captions — and our team builds your yearbook from scratch. Every book is designed uniquely for your school. As a guide, this is approximately $10 per book for a run of 300 books at 100 pages. We can design it in stages or all at once — whatever suits your timeline.
