Built for the tender you are chasing

You have the experience. This is the document that proves it before anyone picks up the phone. We design and print capability statements for Perth businesses that need to look established, organised and ready, whether that is a trade going for a panel contract or a professional firm answering an expression of interest.

What you're getting

A designed capability statement built around your content, at the page count you choose. You get two concepts to react to, two rounds of revisions, a print-ready PDF and the digital files. Add printed copies and we produce them here in South Perth, so you can collect them or have them delivered without waiting on a courier from interstate.

Size and stock

A4 finished size, full colour both sides. Four pages folds in half, six pages folds in three, and eight, twelve or sixteen pages are stitched into a booklet with a proper spine. Standard is 200gsm satin throughout. Premium is 250gsm satin on the folded formats, and a laminated 300gsm card cover over 200gsm satin pages on the booklets.

Turnaround

Made in Perth. First concepts in 5 business days, printed copies 2-5 business days after approval.

Included with every order

A simple content checklist so you know exactly what to send us, two concepts, two rounds of revisions, your print-ready PDF and digital files, every file checked before it prints, and your artwork kept on file so the next update is a quick edit, not a new project.

A price you can see: You pick the page count and quantity and the price is right there. No ring-around, no waiting on a quote for a document you needed last week.

Two concepts, two rounds, done: You see two directions first, choose the one that feels like your business, then refine it twice. That cap keeps the project moving and keeps the price fixed.

Checked before it prints: Every file that goes to the press is checked by a person first. Logo resolution, colour, the edge-to-edge area, the fold and the stitching. You approve a proof that matches what comes off the machine.

Made and printed in South Perth: Design and print happen under one roof, so there is no hand-off between a designer in one city and a printer in another. Short runs are easy. Twenty-five copies for one tender is a normal order here.

Kept on file for next time: Your licences change, your contacts change, you add a service. Send us the new details and we update the artwork and reprint. You never start from scratch.

What do I need to send you?

Your logo as the original file your designer gave you (an EPS, AI, SVG or PDF is ideal), your business details and contacts, your licences, accreditations and insurances, the services you want listed, a few sentences about who you are and who you work with, and any photos of your team or your work. We send a short checklist as soon as you order so nothing gets missed.

Do you write the content?

The listed price assumes you supply the words. Most businesses already have them, on the website, in a past submission or in the owner's head, and we shape them into the layout. If you would rather a writer pulled it together, ask us for a copywriting quote once you know your page count. What we do not do is write your tender response. That stays with you or your bid consultant.

How many pages should I choose?

Four pages suits a single-service business that wants something to hand over on site. Six gives you a panel per service. Eight is the sweet spot for most tenders and panel applications, with room for a case study and your accreditations. Twelve and sixteen are for firms with several divisions or a track record they want to show properly.

What exactly gets printed?

Everything is A4 finished size, full colour on both sides. Four pages is an A4 sheet folded in half, six pages is folded in three, and eight, twelve and sixteen pages are saddle-stitched booklets with a proper spine. Standard is 200gsm satin throughout, the same stock as our Standard Booklets. Premium steps the folded formats up to 250gsm satin, and gives the booklets a laminated 300gsm card cover over 200gsm satin pages, the same build as our Premium Booklets.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium?

Standard is a full-colour satin finish on a 200gsm stock that looks sharp, photographs well and folds cleanly. Premium is the version that gets left on the table after the meeting: a heavier 250gsm on the folded formats, and a laminated card cover on the booklets that takes handling without creasing.

Can I order the design without printing?

Yes. Choose Digital PDF only and you receive a print-ready PDF plus digital files for email and upload to tender portals. If you decide to print later, we already have your artwork.

How long does it take?

First concepts in 5 business days from the day we have your content. Printed copies take 2-5 business days after you approve the final proof. If you are up against a submission date, tell us when you order and we will plan the job around it.

Can I use my brand guidelines?

Please do. Send them with your content and we design inside them, so the capability statement sits alongside your cards, letterhead and website as one family.

What if my licence details change after it is printed?

Send us the new details. We keep your artwork on file, make the edit and reprint at the print-only price. Updating is a quick edit, not a new design.

Do you print runs over 500?

Yes, on quote. Get in touch with your page count and quantity and we will price it for you.

What is the stock image pack?

A set of licensed photographs we choose with you, up to one per page, for businesses that do not have their own photography yet. The licence covers your printed and digital capability statement.

Where can I get a capability statement designed and printed in Perth?

Tako Print designs and prints capability statements from our shop in South Perth, Western Australia. Choose your page count and quantity on this page, send us your content, and you will have first concepts within five business days and printed copies two to five business days after you approve the proof. Design and print happen under one roof, and you can collect from the shop or have them delivered.

How much does capability statement design cost?

Design is a fixed price by page count, including GST: $800 for four pages, $1,000 for six, $1,200 for eight, $1,800 for twelve and $2,500 for sixteen. That covers two concepts, two rounds of revisions, a print-ready PDF and digital files. Printed copies are added at the quantity you choose. A four-page capability statement with 100 printed copies is $1,010 in total, an eight-page booklet with 100 printed copies is $1,650, and a sixteen-page booklet with 100 copies is $3,205. Choose Digital PDF only if you do not need print yet.

What is a capability statement?

A capability statement is a short printed or digital document that tells a buyer who you are, what you do, what you are qualified to do and who you have done it for. In Australia it is a common requirement for government tenders, supplier panel applications and expressions of interest, and a useful leave-behind after any pitch meeting. The typical format is A4, either folded to four or six pages or saddle-stitched as an eight to sixteen page booklet, full colour, with a heavier or laminated cover for the premium version.

What should a trade's capability statement include?

Your licence, your insurance, your accreditations, the services you offer and photos of your work, on one document a builder or a procurement officer can read in two minutes. A four or eight page format is usually right. You supply the content and we do the layout, so it is a functional, professional document without a long design project attached. Pair it with business cards and site signage from the same account.

What do professional firms need in a capability statement?

Room. Law firms, consultancies, engineering practices and organisations answering government or corporate tenders tend to need a twelve or sixteen page booklet with practice areas, key people, case studies and compliance details. We design inside your existing brand guidelines so the document sits with your other collateral, and the premium laminated cover gives it the weight a shortlist meeting deserves. Brief us once and your staff can order reprints and updates by email through commercial print management.

Can I update a capability statement after it is printed?

Yes. We keep your artwork on file. When a licence, a contact or a service changes, send us the new details and we edit the artwork and reprint at the print-only price. You do not pay for the design again.
