How does commercial print ordering work for Singapore CBD businesses?
Commercial print ordering for businesses in the Singapore central business district comes down to three things: a complete specification for the quote, artwork checked before production, and a choice between courier delivery and collection by arrangement. Teams across Marina Bay, Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar usually need a clear schedule and a delivery plan that fits their deadline.
Trading since 2017 — EZ PRINT PRIVATE LIMITED, UEN 201706183R. The office is at Centennial Tower in the CBD, and artwork is checked before production.

How does collection by arrangement work at Centennial Tower?
Centennial Tower is in Marina Centre, in the CBD. Our office is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and collection is by arrangement, so a collection time is agreed before anyone travels. Collection suits a team based nearby or a courier you book yourself; island-wide courier delivery is the alternative when the job should come to you.
How collection works:
- Collection Terms and Scheduling: Collection by arrangement — tell us when you would like to collect and we will confirm the time. Agreeing the time in advance means the finished job is packed and ready when your colleague or courier arrives.
- Central CBD Location: Collection point address: 3 Temasek Avenue, #21-00/01, Centennial Tower, Singapore 039190.
- Centennial Tower Office Hours: Our office is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Collection times are agreed within these hours.
- Island-Wide Delivery Services: For enterprises that prefer direct office delivery, we provide Island-wide courier delivery within Singapore, to your office or event venue.
What details are required for an accurate print quotation?
An accurate commercial print quotation starts from a complete technical specification that leaves no ambiguity about paper stock, finished dimensions, volume, and post-press embellishments. Every job is quoted from its specification — stock, quantity, sides, finish, size and deadline — so the quote matches the job that will be printed.
To streamline your quotation request, ensure your brief includes these five essential parameters:
- Finished Dimensions: State the flat and folded dimensions in millimetres (for example, A4 210 × 297 mm flat, folding to A5 148 × 210 mm).
- Substrate and Weight: Define the paper stock type and grammage (for example, 157 gsm gloss art paper or 350 gsm matt art card).
- Printed Sides and Inks: Specify whether printing is single-sided (4C/0C) or double-sided (4C/4C), noting any Pantone spot colours.
- Post-Press Embellishments: Indicate required surface lamination (matt, gloss, soft-touch), metallic foil stamping, spot UV varnish, or mechanical die-cutting.
- Order Quantity and Target Date: Provide required production quantities and your firm on-site deadline.
Decision checklist: streamlining CBD printing orders and deliveries
Streamlining commercial print orders for CBD offices requires aligning creative design sign-offs, quotation approvals, production lead times, and building security delivery access. Using this practical checklist ensures your corporate print orders proceed without administrative delays from initial submission through to final handover.
- Specification Completeness: Ensure quotation briefs specify paper stock, dimensions, quantity, and finishing.
- Prepress File Preparation: Verify PDF files include 3 mm bleed all round and the safe margin for the product (5 mm in from the trim on flyers and brochures).
- Collection vs Delivery Selection: Decide between collection by arrangement at Centennial Tower or direct courier.
- Collection Window Scheduling: If collecting, confirm your pickup time within Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
- Building Delivery Protocol: If selecting courier dispatch, notify building security of courier drop-off arrangements.
- Production Turnaround: Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days. Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
Common mistakes to avoid when ordering commercial print in the CBD
Corporate administrative and marketing teams frequently face unnecessary delivery delays and logistical confusion by submitting incomplete technical specifications or travelling to collect before a collection time is agreed. Steering clear of these common commercial print procurement pitfalls keeps marketing collateral and executive stationery on schedule for the date your office needs them.
- Travelling to Collect Before a Time Is Confirmed: Collection is by arrangement only. Tell us when you would like to collect and wait for the time to be confirmed.
- Submitting Vague Paper Specifications: Requesting simply “thick paper” requires multiple clarification rounds; specify exact grammage like 350 gsm.
- Omitting 3 mm Bleed on Artwork Files: Supplying artwork trimmed to exact page dimensions leaves thin white edges after trimming.
- Overlooking Building Delivery Arrangements: Many office towers have their own delivery arrangements; give the receiving contact and any building instructions with the order.
- Leaving Production Scheduling to the Final Moment: Printing and finishing both take time in the schedule; standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days.
Worked example: Procuring 500 presentation sets for a Raffles Place corporate meeting
Procuring corporate collateral for a fixed meeting date requires a complete specification, a prompt quote approval and an agreed delivery plan. This worked example illustrates how a fictional wealth management firm in Raffles Place procures five hundred presentation sets for an executive client summit.
Hypothetical illustration. Figures are assumptions for explanation, not a real transaction or advice.
A fictional wealth management firm based in Raffles Place prepares for an executive investment conference. The corporate team requires five hundred presentation sets comprising branded presentation folders and informational product flyers.
The folder specification calls for five hundred presentation folders on 350 gsm matt art card, matt laminated on the outside face, with two glued pockets and a 5 mm creased gusset at the spine to hold the documents. Inside the folders, the team inserts five hundred A4 double-sided flyers printed on 157 gsm gloss art paper. The flyer artwork carries 3 mm bleed and a 5 mm safe margin, and the folder artwork is set on the flat net template with the dieline, creases and bleed already drawn.
The firm requests direct courier dispatch to its office tower in Raffles Place. The order proceeds under our standard turnaround, generally 7–14 working days, and the folders and flyers are delivered by courier to the firm’s office.
