Ordering Print Jobs
Please refer to the Style Manual for official Hampden-Sydney design standards and the Guidelines for Generating Publicity Materials.
Lead Time: The Communications Office produces about 1000 print jobs for the College each year with a limited staff. To make sure we have enough time to devote to your project, we ask that you factor lead time into your printing plans. For small jobs that will be printed on-site, usually 2 weeks before you want the job in your hands is sufficient lead time.
