You can be confident that your requirements will be handled professionally, precisely and securely. And we continue to invest in equipment, processes and people to ensure the most effective and efficient methods of production.

Our wide range of services include:

Origination

A complete service from design to proofing, we will work with you on the design and format (including languages) and develop a project plan with you.

Upon receipt of your data (which we can handle in a variety of formats) we use Proof Manager, a system Pindar developed to improve workflow and help you save production time, money and minimise risk.

Key features include:

  • Once your first proof is created, we then work on a page by page basis. Only those pages accessed need reading, all other pages are unchanged, saving time and reducing risk of error
  • Centralised job tracking – your team can track what’s going on and who needs chasing

Our team of skilled Readers ensure your style is maintained throughout and our Customer Service Representatives are meticulous in their attention to detail.

Print

The installation of new digital presses in our secure area, combined with the use of high quality toners can give your examination papers improved definition and clarity and print quality checks are made throughout each run.

We can manage on-demand print, stock holding, real time applications, personalised communication and practice papers – same day.

Personalisation

Nearly every element of the examination paper can be personalised, including the use of bar codes for traceability and we can produce modified papers to meet your inclusion and accessibility needs.

Finishing

Examination papers will be bound accurately and securely and the provision of in line saddle stitching reduces potential errors which can occur with off line finishing. We can insert all the required elements of your examination paper from map extracts and photographic inserts to resource booklets and answer sheets. Packaging can be sourced and printed to your specification.

Pick and Pack

Logipack is a software package we have developed using Microsoft’s .net technologies and as well as providing integrity within production & packing, it provides the customer and Pindar with vital feedback.

Security and Confidentiality

At all steps of the process whether it is the systems and people we employ, the buildings we use or the way we dispose of waste, security and confidentiality are uppermost in what we do.

Despatch

Our customer service teams keep you informed of progress at all stages of production. Our distribution centre is part of the secure unit offering secure despatch worldwide. We can also track and trace a document’s life cycle from destination through to sitting the exam and all marking phases involved.
