AHDB is looking to create a Framework Agreement with approx. 6 and 10 print suppliers who can produce a high standard product that is colour accurate, without deviation, to match the signed off press-calibrated colour proofs supplied. This will ensure that high-quality, colour-consistent literature is produced throughout the range of AHDB corporate publications and other printed matter.

The framework will cover a wide range of items from business cards, single colour letterheads or small A7 cards to high-quality technical publications, promotional literature and large format event display items.
