Question / Answer
Can we cut the certificates to final size A4 after Printing and Embossing? / No, you may not.
My company is the largest printing franchise in South Africa and think we can give you a competitive pricing.
Please be so kind to send through the spec and artwork for quoting purposes. / There is no artwork for this printing tender. Please read the specifications of the bid document for the our certificate printing requirements.
I just have a query on the Tender which I would like to clarify.
Refer Page 10: Request for Quotation - Paper refers to 95 - 120gsm Security paper (which certificates are currently printed on).
Then refer to
Refer Page 18:Pricing Schedule - Item Description refers to paper being 250 gsm White Board.
I take it that we will be quoting on the specifications referred to on Page 10 which is the Security paper? / Yes, you are correct. Please quote on the specifications for 95 - 120gsm Security paper. The pricing schedule is incorrect and will be emended.
Kindly please forward me the aforesaid tender documents. / Please go to the procurement section of the Fasset website ( to download the tender documents.
I'd like to find out the following:
1. size of the logo to be printed on the certificate ;
2. Preferred paper that you like the certificates to be printed on.
/ The paper requirements are in the tender documentation:
1. Fasset requires the certificate printer to be able to: …
·print certificate templates, to include at minimum:
o95-120gsm security watermarked; and
oFasset logo
The size of the logo will need to confirm to the current certificates that we have. The sizing shouldn’t affect the quote.
Please can you clarify regarding these certificates.
Price is based on printing certificates and variable information?
As I can gather from your tender document that you want each certificate scan and keep it as a record either on disk or USB.
Also please can you email me a copy of the certificate, or the Fasset logo for me to identify the colours on the certificate.
Or can I please collect a sample of a previous certificate? / I’m not sure I understand your email correctly, however, we would want a price per certificate for base stock and a price per certificate for the printing of the certificate etc…
The Fasset logo is as per the our website. We only have two colours, yellow and blue. We will only give the logo to the successful tenderer.
You are correct, a copy of each printed certificate needs to be scanned and given to us on a CD or USB. The certificate itself has no particular colour. You can collect a copy of the certificate from our offices
