Our FAQ’s

Can I get express or rush printing for wallpaper or fabrics?2025-07-16T16:00:00+01:00

Yes, we offer expedited production on many materials. Whether it’s wallpaper for a retail launch or fabric for a fashion show, we’ll do everything we can to meet your timeline. Same-day or next-day dispatch is sometimes possible on repeat orders or stock fabrics.

Can I get my designs colour matched and do you offer proofing services?2025-07-16T16:14:40+01:00

Yes. We provide colour-matched samples and digital proofs upon request. We understand brand guidelines, Pantone values, and fussy clients, let’s get it right before you go big.

Can I order a sample of my wallpaper or fabric first before deciding to buy it?2025-07-16T16:13:45+01:00

Yes, we strongly recommend it. We offer strike-offs or mini swatches so you can check colours, scale, and texture before committing. It’s a small step that helps avoid surprises later. Just ask us, we can help you and talk through the best options.

Can I print my own design onto wallpaper or fabric?2025-07-16T16:02:16+01:00

Absolutely. That’s what we do. You send the artwork, we handle the technical bits. Whether it’s a single wall mural, a whole home refit, or a limited-run fashion line, your ideas, made tactile.

Can I speak to someone before placing an order?2025-07-16T16:18:32+01:00

Yes, we’re not just a checkout page. Call, email or DM us, whether you’re unsure about materials, deadlines, or scaling up an idea. Our team has worked with brands big and small, and we’re happy to help. 0161 320 3637 is where you can find us. We love to chat.

Do you have a price list?2025-07-04T16:10:49+01:00

We do and it’s not just a PDF with numbers. We keep it simple for you to make the right choice.

We’ve spoken to so many new designers who’ve been disappointed by vague pricing, last-minute surcharges, or “we’ll let you know once it’s printed” policies. That’s not us. We want your costing conversations with your clients to be confident, consistent, and clear so you know your margins before you even lift a pencil. Just ask and we’ll send it straight over.

Do you have environmental credentials?2025-07-04T16:30:45+01:00

We do, and we’re building on them.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a buying decision. Our materials are virtually PVC-free, our packaging is minimal, and we’re working toward greener practices across the board. Want to use that in your marketing? We’ll help you build that story.

What we are very proud of is we have no single use plastics in any of our packaging that is distributed across the United Kingdom.

Do you offer Mika, thicker, or textured substrates?2025-07-04T16:18:00+01:00

No, and intentionally.

In our experience, textured substrates tend to be unpredictable. They might look good online, but in print? Ink absorption can vary, detail can get lost, and colour consistency becomes a nightmare. Rather than offering a range of ‘maybe okay’ options, we’ve chosen one that always performs. It’s our way of protecting your brand’s reputation.

Do you offer pattern books?2025-07-04T16:34:26+01:00

Yes, and they’re designed to help you sell.

Whether you’re presenting to a stockist, a showroom, or just want to make your brand feel polished, pattern books create an emotional experience for your customer. We can help you choose designs, structure layouts, and even produce short runs. By investing in pattern books and not unnecessary rolls for stock, your ability to grow your business just became a faster reality.

Do you provide samples?2025-07-04T16:33:51+01:00

Yes, and they can be a real game-changer.

We offer A5, A4, and folded A3. Why folded A3? Because it fits through a letterbox, saves on postage, and still wows your client. Some of our most successful clients built their business on beautiful samples, whether at exhibition pop-ups, in mailers, or on Instagram and Facebook.

Do you ship internationally?2025-07-16T16:16:46+01:00

We do. Commission Print ships globally, with tracked and insured delivery. Whether you’re in London, Lisbon, or Los Angeles, your work will arrive safe, rolled, and ready to hang or stitch.

Do you supply commercial vinyl?2025-07-04T16:18:20+01:00

We can work with vinyl, if you have a commercial project that you are working in, we would love to see if we can help.

These days, people want environmentally friendlier materials, easy installation, and beautiful print detail and our current offering ticks every box.

How do customers handle colour tweaks?2025-07-04T16:29:40+01:00

You can do your own, or we can help.

Some of our customers are AVA pros. Others use Photoshop. But many just have a vision and need us to bring it to life. If you’re unsure about colourways, palettes, or want to experiment with a seasonal edit, we can do that for you. We’ve even helped designers reverse-engineer colour schemes from mood boards or ceramics. You don’t need to be a tech wizard, just bring your idea and we’ll work it out together.

How does your proofing process work?2025-07-04T16:18:47+01:00

We don’t just check if your file is printable, we check if it’s perfect.

We’ve had designers thank us for spotting a missing repeat or hidden seam before launch. You don’t always get that from a printer, but to us, it’s non-negotiable. We’ll look at your file format, resolution, repeat, and colour setup to make sure it’s right before anything goes near a printer. We’ve saved customers thousands just by catching issues early, and we’ll do the same for you.

How long does it take to print custom wallpaper?2025-07-16T15:56:11+01:00

We usually ship custom wallpaper orders within 7 to 14 working days, depending on the complexity, volume, and finish. If you’re working to a deadline, whether for an exhibition, install, or editorial, let us know early. We’ve helped everyone from solo artists to large studios hit tight timelines.

How much should I charge per roll?2025-07-04T16:10:33+01:00

If you’re asking this, you’re already thinking like a brand, not just a printer and we love that.

A £176 retail price gives you a 75% margin, which opens the door to trade pricing, showrooms, and even stocking with boutique retailers. But more than that, it gives you breathing room. It will give you confidence to offer samples, handle returns, or build beautiful packaging, because you’ve priced for quality, not discount wars. We’re not just here to print. We’re here to make sure what you sell is sustainable, creatively and financially.

How much will it cost to print my designs on custom wallpaper or fabric?2025-07-16T16:15:52+01:00

Costs depend on the material, coverage, and quantity. As a guide:

  • Fabric printing starts from £20/m
  • Wallpaper printing starts from £40 per roll (52cm standard width)

Get in touch for a tailored quote, we’re transparent, and you won’t be hit with hidden fees.

Is colour consistency a concern?2025-07-04T16:30:03+01:00

Absolutely, and we treat it seriously.

We’ve built in checks and profiles to keep colours consistent across batches. Still, if you’re building a range or matching existing stock, just tell us, we’ll double-check everything, so your customers don’t spot a mismatch.

Is there a discount for buying in volume?2025-07-04T16:10:02+01:00

No, and here’s why that’s good news.

We’ve structured our pricing so that whether you’re printing one roll or fifty, you’re getting the same premium quality and attention. That consistency means you can scale up without suddenly being hit with “budget” stock or second-tier customer service. What you order at 10 rolls is exactly what you’ll get at 100. This way, you don’t have to stock any inventory, and this frees up capital for you to invest in other areas of your business.

Is wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?2025-07-16T16:05:14+01:00

Yes, we print on moisture-resistant wallpapers that are great for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic spaces. For steamy or splash-prone areas, we’ll recommend wipe-clean and mould-resistant finishes.

Is your fabric washable and will my designs stay bright and vibrant?2025-07-16T16:10:58+01:00

Many of our fabrics are washable or dry-cleanable, depending on the base cloth and ink type. If you’re printing for fashion or interiors, let us know the intended use, we’ll suggest the best pairing. Your designs will always look great. As with all washing, depending on the care and attention in how you wash will largely dictate how your designs as long as possible.

Is your wallpaper flame retardant?2025-07-04T16:30:25+01:00

Yes, and certified to EN 13501-1 (B, s1, d0).

That might sound technical, but it’s a big deal if you’re pitching to hotels, restaurants, or even high-end residential clients. This rating means your wallpaper is safe, compliant, and ready for commercial specifiers. It’s not just about print, it’s about access to markets that expect this level of certification.

Should I charge for samples?2025-07-04T16:34:10+01:00

That depends on your model, but many of our customers do.

Charging even a small fee helps filter timewasters and fund your marketing. Want to know what others do? We can share some approaches, from refundable sample fees to tiered pricing. Just ask.

What are your lead times?2025-07-04T16:13:51+01:00

We know the modern buyer expects “click and it’s here.” That pressure doesn’t stop with them, it lands on your shoulders, too.

So, we’ve structured our workflow to handle urgent jobs as smoothly as possible. Many of our customers are one-person brands juggling launches, press deadlines, and picky clients, and we get it. While big bespoke orders naturally take longer, we work to Prime-speed expectations wherever possible. If you’ve got a hard deadline, tell us early and we’ll help make it happen, not make you nervous.

What are your shipping costs?2025-07-04T16:14:17+01:00

For 1 to 10 rolls in the UK mainland, it’s £8 flat, so there’s no surprises.

Outside the UK or for bigger runs? We’ll give you a tailored quote. The point is: you’ll always know before you commit. We’ve had too many designers tell us they lost money because a courier surcharge crept in. Not on our watch.

What if there’s a problem with my order?2025-07-16T16:17:31+01:00

We’re human and so is print. If something’s not right, we’ll fix it. Just send us a photo or describe the issue and we’ll resolve it, fast. We pride ourselves on long-term relationships, not one-off sales.

What is the turnaround time for fabric printing?2025-07-16T15:59:08+01:00

For most standard fabric orders, expect a 5 to 10 business day turnaround once artwork is approved. Need it faster? We offer rush options on select textiles. Just ask, we’re set up for speed without sacrificing quality.

What materials can you print my designs on?2025-07-16T16:03:25+01:00

We offer a wide range of materials, including:

  • Smooth and textured wallpapers (paste-the-wall, peel-and-stick, and eco options)
  • Cotton, silk, velvet, linen, poly blends, and more
  • Fire-rated, durable, and sustainable options for commercial installs

We’ll help you choose the right material for the look and use case.

What size are your wallpaper rolls?2025-07-04T16:14:53+01:00

We offer two standard sizes: 52cm x 10m and 70cm x 10m.

Here’s why that matters: those are the sizes most customers and most installers expect and are industry standard. It avoids confusion, waste, and weird joins on walls. But if you’re working on a commercial or highly bespoke install, we can talk custom sizing. We can accommodate projects and bespoke sizing, so please just ask.

What substrates do you offer?2025-07-04T16:17:37+01:00

Right now, one, and it’s the best for a reason.

Our non-woven 147gsm “paste-the-wall” paper prints beautifully, handles effortlessly, and installs cleanly. Why just one? Because it removes choice paralysis and ensures every print meets our highest standard. We’ve worked with textured and vinyl in the past, but truth be told, most of them caused more problems than they solved. This substrate just works. Our customers trust that this is the best solution and does not compromise on quality.

What’s the best file format to use for fabric or wallpaper printing?2025-07-16T16:01:17+01:00

We recommend high-res PDF, TIFF or EPS files. Make sure your resolution is at least 150 to 300dpi at full size and all fonts are outlined or embedded. Need help setting it up? Just send what you’ve got, we’ll advise or adjust for print.

Who else do you print for?2025-07-04T16:34:55+01:00

We keep that confidential.

And that’s good news for you, because it means we’ll do the same for your brand. Whether you’re launching your first pattern or scaling internationally, your ideas stay yours. You won’t see them popping up in someone else’s catalogue. What we can say is, we are very familiar with some of the leading designers and brands across the world. Maybe you will be the next one we work with?
