PLANS & TECHNICAL PRINTING

Plans that print sharp,
to scale, and on time.

If you’re looking to print anything from architectural plans to engineering drawings, we print large-format files with accuracy and speed. Whether it’s one set or one hundred, we have the printers for you.

At H&A Print, we’ve supported builders, electricians, designers, and engineers for decades. We know how important scale, clarity, and turnaround time are when you’re on a deadline. Just send through your file and we’ll take care of the rest — same day in most cases, or shipped to site if you need it.

Tips for a print-ready file

Here’s what helps us get the best result:

  • Use CMYK colour mode – Colours on screen (RGB) don’t always match what’s printed. For more accurate colours, export in CMYK.
  • File types we accept – PDF is ideal, but we also accept PNG, JPG, and most common design file types.
  • Add bleed – Include a 3mm bleed around the edges so your design prints right to the edge of the paper.
  • Keep text in the safe zone – Leave a margin around your text and important content so nothing gets trimmed off.
  • Include crop marks – Especially important for designs that go full-bleed or need precise cutting.

If you’re using Canva, we recommend exporting your file as a PDF Print with crop marks and bleed turned on. If you're unsure about any of this, just send it through — we’re happy to check it over before printing.
