Who orders from Braamfontein

- NGOs: reports, workshop packs, campaign posters.
- Creatives and venues: posters, flyers, stickers.
- Societies and student groups: DTF printed T-shirts (minimum 10 garments) and event banners.
Rivonia to Braamfontein
Braamfontein is south of the northern suburbs, near the M1 as it approaches the city. From our shop at Shop L23, Rivonia Central, Oriental City Rivonia, Cnr Rivonia Blvd and 9th Ave, opposite NewsCafe Rivonia, the M1 south is the usual route. Students without transport generally find a quoted courier more practical than travelling to Rivonia.
Remember that courier transit is added after production. For a submission at 9:00 AM tomorrow, overnight production plus courier is very tight; plan for the day before.
Student budgets and deadlines
Black and white A4 is R1.50 per copy and colour A4 R4.00 per copy at the Standard tier; A3 colour posters are R9.00 per copy. The Overnight tier adds 40%, so it pays to plan. Set your own print deadline a few days before the submission deadline and order on Standard (about 3 working days) or Economy (about 5 working days, 10% less).
If you do need the overnight run, the PDF must be approved and payment cleared by 1:00 PM on a weekday. Export properly to PDF, check page size, and see Accepted File Formats.
