Institutions on the ridge
Parktown is dominated by institutions: large hospitals and medical schools, well-known boys' and girls' schools, university education and health sciences campuses, and corporate head offices, some housed in heritage buildings along the ridge. Many clinics and NGOs also have offices here.
Institutions tend to need printing in volume and on time – forms, training material, certificates and event print.
Heritage buildings converted into offices often house consultancies, foundations and NGOs, which order annual reports, funding proposals and event print. Hospital departments order forms, posters and training material.

Getting your order from Rivonia to Parktown
From Parktown, the M1 North towards Sandton is usually quickest – exit towards Rivonia Road and continue north. Jan Smuts Avenue and Oxford Road are alternatives through Rosebank and Illovo.
Collect from our only premises – Shop L23, Rivonia Central, Oriental City, opposite NewsCafe Rivonia – Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. If you would rather not make the trip, delivery or courier to Parktown is arranged and quoted for your address and order size.
Academic and conference posters
Research posters for conferences are usually A1 or A0. Set your document to the exact size, use images at 150–300dpi at full size, and keep body text large enough to read from a metre away. Export to PDF and check every chart. Ordering on Standard leaves a day or two to fix any problems before you travel. See image resolution and DPI.
Same-day is priced high on purpose. If you can give us a few days, Economy or Standard saves you money. Lead times run from Economy (about 5 working days, 10% less) to Same-day (+30%, eligible items in by 09:00).
