Balanced, clear, and perfectly scoped
Our Tako retainer subscriptions guarantee you dedicated, expert design and print management time every month, all managed by us.
You pay a fixed, discounted rate for guaranteed access and priority status. That means your critical jobs jump the line, and we handle the messy parts—the file checks, the technical setups, and the print coordination—without you having to chase up.
This isn't just buying hours; this is buying guaranteed speed and zero risk.
We handle file readiness, whether your final piece is going to a printing press, a digital inbox, or a social media feed.
The Essential Upgrade: Our Fixed-Price Corporate Document Service
For your biggest, most important annual documents (like Annual Reports or high-impact Corporate Brochures), you don't need a monthly retainer—you need guaranteed, flawless execution.
This is a single, fixed-price project for existing clients that guarantees your existing files are ready for a premium press run.
This option is currently only available for exisiting clients, please reach out to check availability.
The Quick Snack Box
This is our equivalent of a cheeky mid-week takeaway. You know your team is at capacity and you can foresee a few busy months you need extra help for.
All we need from you is a scope and your brand elements. We'll take care of the rest, all hours are billed monthly and we can even add on the printing if you need!
- 10 hours per month
- Standard queue: Guaranteed to commence work within 72 hours of receiving a brief.
- Limited rollover: Up to 25% (2.5 hours) rolls over to the next month only.
This suits clients who have 2-3 documents which need formatting per month and have existing brand scaffolding in place.
Minimum retainer period is 2 months.
The Long Lunch Box
When you're ready to have our team of graphic designers create, store and update your documents, this plan is what you need.
You and your team have direct access to us, and we work along side you (and your deadlines) in a way which helps you get the most out of your working week.
- 20 Hours per month
- High priority: Guaranteed to commence work within 48 hours, moving ahead of one-off projects.
- Full rollover: 100% of unused hours rolls over to the next month only, to easily cover unexpected workflow surges.
This suits teams who work across multiple projects at varying stages. We will keep and update your documents along the way.
For clients who need both external facing and internally compliant company documents.
Minimum retainer is 2 months.
Print management questions, answered
Can our locations order directly, or does head office approve everything?
Can our locations order directly, or does head office approve everything?
That's your call, and either works. Most partners let approved staff at each location email orders directly, because we already know what's approved for them. If you'd rather head office signs off first, we set it up that way instead.
Do you store our artwork and keep versions when we update it?
Do you store our artwork and keep versions when we update it?
Yes. We hold your current approved files and keep the history when you update them. When you refresh your brand, you send the new files once and every future order uses them.
Can each location have its own delivery address?
Can each location have its own delivery address?
Yes. Each order ships wherever it's needed, and billing stays however you've set it up: per location, consolidated, or monthly.
What happens if someone orders with an old logo or the wrong file?
What happens if someone orders with an old logo or the wrong file?
We catch it. Every order is checked against your current approved artwork before anything prints. If something doesn't match, we flag it with you and sort it first.
Is there a minimum spend or a contract?
Is there a minimum spend or a contract?
Not for print management. There's no account minimum and no lock-in, just the regular per-item minimums (business cards start at 250, for example), and you order what you need when you need it. If you add our ongoing design subscription, that runs on a monthly retainer with a two-month minimum, and we'll walk you through it before anything starts.
Want design managed too?
Want design managed too?
Some businesses hand us the design side as well: we create and update your documents as things change, from marketing pieces to internally compliant company documents, so everything stays current without you chasing a designer. It runs as a monthly subscription with a two-month minimum, alongside your print management. Call us and we'll work out whether it's worth it for you.
Can you match items we currently print elsewhere?
Can you match items we currently print elsewhere?
Yes. Send us a sample or the details and we'll match the size, paper and finish. Most items we can match exactly, and if anything needs a slight change we'll tell you before we print.
