Why PADO?

Environmentally Responsible

The environment is more important than ever to PADO and to our customers. We are continually finding new ways to reduce our effects on the environment. Our printing papers use a mix of recycled and fresh organic fibres from renewable plantations, so we can provide our customers with a product which is both environmentally sound and looks great. Our paper only comes from renewable plantations designed for paper processing. If you have any further questions about our procedures and techniques used to produce our products you can email ask@pado.com.au.

Unbeatable Prices

We at PADO are so confident of our prices that we guarantee the best deal for our products. If you find a cheaper price on a matching product we will beat the price by 5%. On top of our very competitive prices we also offer FREE delivery to anywhere in Australia and include GST in all of our marked prices. This means that there are no hidden costs and the price you see on our website is the price you purchase our products for.

Fast Production and Free Delivery

Because we print everything in bulk at PADO, it allows us to turnaround more print runs in a shorter amount of time for a fraction of the cost of places like snap and worldwide online printing. That is why our print services are not only cheap, but also uick. Our turnaround for the printing of business cards, stationery, flyers and invoice books is 6-10 business days. Our turnaround for magnets is 8-15 working days as it requires extra production time to apply the magnetic backing.
 
We also pride ourselves in a quick, efficient, and creative design service. Our average turnaround for print and logo design is anywhere between 1 and 2 days, for the first round of concepts. Websites can take anywhere between 1 and 4 weeks until the final product has been produced depending on the complexity of the website design, in which PADO always keeps it's clients up-to-date with the progress so you know exactly how your website is coming along.

Vibrant Colours

PADO's products are printed through a print process known as Offset Printing, which produces remarkable results and is far superior to that of digital printing which can often appear quite murky and dull. Offset printing uses a combination of four process colours including cyan, magenta, yellow and black (otherwise known as the Key). Offset printing also uses print plates for each of these colours ensuring that the image is printed with well defined clarity and sharp detail.
 
Because we use this print process colours never looked so vibrant, smooth and sharp. So why settle for any less, choose PADO.

High Quality Stocks

Paper & Card Stocks

Our business cards, postcards and DL cards are printed on a very thick 360gsm artboard, which is very versatile and well suited to a large spectrum or print processes as well as dynamic colour ranges. Our stationery is printed on a smooth 90gsm laser stock that is suitable for use in home or office inkjet and laser printers. Our remaining flyer products use a 150gsm semi-gloss paper stock, which lightweight making it suitable for mail out purposes. Our magnets are gloss laminated on front and have a full magnetic back giving them a stronger magnetic attraction to other flat metal surfaces. And lastly our invoice books use special laser bond stock that allows transfer on to duplicate copies without the aid of carbon paper, making them a very clean and convenient invoicing product.
 

AQ Coating & Laminate Finishes

There are two methods that we use to enhance and protect our printed products. The first is aqueous coating which is a liquid based protective coating that helps prolong the life of the basic-1 business card and its ink. The second coating is called laminate (also known as celloglaze), which is a plastic coating giving it a thicker and hardier finish.
