Annual Report Printing

The size of annual reports can vary depending on the company and its specific reporting requirements. However, there are no specific regulations or guidelines regarding the physical size of annual reports in Australia. The size of the report is typically determined by the company’s design choices and printing preferences.

Traditionally, annual reports have been printed in a standard A4 size (210mm x 297mm), with variations on this size such as a wider  235mm x 297mm. This allows for easy readability and distribution. However, with the shift towards digital reporting, many companies now provide their annual reports in electronic formats such as PDF, which can be viewed and downloaded from their websites.

250 is the standard minimum quantity for offset printing. However, we cater to smaller quantities by offering digitally printed. Speak to our team about the options for you.

Saddle Stitching

A professional yet cost effective option, saddle stitched books and booklets have been stapled through the folded line of gathered sheets of paper with sturdy wire staples. Depending on the size of the book, two or more staples are passed through and clinched on the central pages. 

We recommend choosing saddle stitching for documents with less than 64 pages, to make sure they don’t become too bulky. Our team of graphic designers will make sure to use sufficient margins on your pages, so that the finished product is easy to read and looks professional.

Perfect Binding

As the names suggests, this binding technique will make sure your printed product looks picture perfect. We use a flexible and robust thermal glue on the spine to marry the cover and pages together, before trimming all the edges of the book. 

For documents that are page heavy (more than 24 pages), perfect binding is the ideal option. Unlike our other binding techniques, printing can be done on the spine of the book to include titles and logos, and the clean, flat edges allow for neat stacking. Perfect binding is a professional and attractive option for books with a heavier, laminated cover.

At Worldwide, we recommend a weight of 350gsm to 400gsm for covers and 120gsm to 150gsm for inner pages. Depending on your specific needs and requirements, we can print your annual report with the following finishings:

• Gloss Lamination
• Matt / Matt Lamination
• Gloss Seal
• SpotUV
• MetalFX

A gloss lamination is a plastic film that adds a high gloss layer to a business card while brightening up the colours. 

Matt, also known as matte lamination is a plastic film that adds a low gloss sheen to a business card while giving it a soft, velvety feel. 

A gloss seal is an aqueous coating that adds a light gloss sheen to the underlying print of a business card. 

SpotUV is a clear gloss ink that when printed over the top of a matte surface, draws attention to specific parts of the business card’s design.  

MetalFX is a process of mixing metallic silver with a variety of process colours to give a metallic luster effect to a business card.
