Service overview
Offset printing transfers ink from metal plates to paper through a rubber blanket, which gives crisp type, even solids and a low cost per copy once a run passes a few thousand sheets. It is the usual route for catalogs, annual reports, letterheads, folders and other high-volume corporate print.
Al Masa manages offset jobs through trusted partner print facilities, handling the specification, artwork preparation, plate-ready files, press checks and delivery on your behalf. You deal with one team that selects paper, coatings and binding, matches Pantone and brand colours, and inspects the finished copies before they ship.
Why advertisers choose it
Cost per copy falls sharply as quantities grow, making offset the economical choice for catalogs and stationery in large runs.
Pantone spot colours and metallic inks hold your brand shade consistently from the first sheet to the last.
A wide range of papers, coatings and bindings, from perfect-bound catalogs to varnished folders, suits any corporate brief.
One accountable contact handles specification, proofing and quality checks, so you avoid chasing multiple printers and delivery drivers.

When is offset printing better than digital printing?
Offset usually wins on cost once quantities reach the thousands, and it offers more paper choices, Pantone matching and special finishes. Digital suits shorter runs and fast changes. Send us your quantity and spec and we will price both routes so you can choose.
Do you support Pantone colour matching?
Yes. Give us your Pantone references or brand guidelines and the job is specified with matching spot inks, with a press check where needed. Colours on screen can differ from ink on paper, so we also advise on coated or uncoated stock that suits the shade.
What files and lead time does an offset job need?
Provide print-ready PDFs with 3 mm bleed, outlined fonts and embedded images at 300 dpi. Offset needs time for plates, make-ready, printing, drying and finishing, so plan on longer than digital. We confirm the schedule once paper and binding are agreed.
