We can print any size up to 420x297mm. Tabloid is generally between 420x297mm and 431x279mm. Broadsheet is a whopping 597x375mm and too large for our presses. Tabloid is within our printing capabilities, but Broadsheet is not. size is actually not very different from A3 and thus a transition to printing tabloids on an A2 sheet (remember that newspaper sizes are the size of the folded pages) would be sensible in the longer term.

Our Digital Tabloid is 380x289mm or Mini at 245x172mm.

There are also two Canadian ‘tabloid’ formats Canadian tabloid at 260 x 368 mm (10.2″ x 14.5″) and Canadian tall tabloid at 260 x 413 mm (10.2″ x 16.3″) both of which are smaller than the British standard tabloid size.

A tabloid and a broadsheet are different types of newspaper formats. Tabloids are generally smaller in size and have a more compact layout compared to broadsheets. Broadsheets are typically more formal and have a larger layout.

The standard size for a tabloid newspaper is approximately 11.69 x 16.53 inches, while a broadsheet measures around 22.44 x 16.53 inches. However, the size can vary based on your specific needs and requirements.

The price to print newspapers varies depending on factors such as the quantity, number of pages, and printing technology used. Please contact us for a personalised quote.

Yes, we can staple the newspapers together for you or we can leave them loose and unbound – this is called ‘nested’. Just let us know which method you would prefer. We have printed some eye-catching nested newspapers where, if designed correctly, the sheets can be pulled out and each one used as a poster – very cool!

Make an impact on your local village, town or community by grouping a few creative minds together and producing a newspaper to celebrate a year in the area, a special event or just to keep people in the loop with recent news.

Yes, we offer full colour, CMYK for your printed newspaper. You can choose to print your newspapers in black and white or full colour. If you go for up to 500 copies then HP Indigo digital printing will be the most cost-effective route. For 500 or more than our litho press starts to become cheaper per unit.

Absolutely, we can ship your newspapers internationally. International shipping, if required, will be charged at our cost price from the cheapest courier on the day. You can usually choose a next-day or 48-hour service which tends to be more expensive than a 3-5 day option.

The printing and delivery time depends on factors such as the quantity of newspapers and your location. We strive to provide a quick and easy printing solution and aim to deliver your newspapers within a few working days.

For A5, Mini and A4 newspapers, we’ll aim to deliver small print runs (up to 500 copies) in 4 working days.

For A3, Digital Tabloid, Canadian Tabloid and longer print runs (500 copies+), best to allow 6/7 working days.

At Ex Why Zed we have no minimum quantity so you have the ability to print a single copy of a newspaper. This can be particularly useful for checking the final product or for individual needs.

Absolutely. We can send in unbranded boxes direct to UK addresses. If you have more than 5 we’d prefer to ship them in bulk to you to then pack, add your own branding (maybe a cute sticker or a postcard), and forward onto your eager recipients.

Oh yes and at Ex Why Zed we’re magazine and zine printing specialists.

The process of creating a magazine is similarly to creating a newspaper – design your content, meet all the requirements set by the printing service, and upload your files online. The key difference is typically in the folding and possibly the binding – magazines often use glue or staple binding.
