Led by Oupa Hlungwani
Oupa Hlungwani heads the business with a practical focus on deadlines, print quality and keeping projects moving without fuss. He works closely with clients and the production team to make sure each title is handled properly, whether it is a short run magazine or a larger publication batch for national delivery.
His approach is simple: clear communication, proper planning and enough attention to detail that problems are caught early. In a trade where load-shedding, tight launch dates and reprints can affect the schedule, that matters.
- Works across publishers, authors and business clients
- Oversees production priorities and service standards
- Keeps projects aligned to delivery dates and print specs
Production and prepress with Busisiwe and Johan
Busisiwe Motaung manages production with a steady hand, making sure jobs are set up, scheduled and moved through the plant in the right order. She keeps an eye on paper usage, machine time and finishing stages, which helps avoid delays when several titles are on the go at once.
Johan van der Merwe handles prepress supervision and checks the files before they go to print. He looks for image resolution, trim, bleeds, page order and colour consistency, so the job starts right. For publishers working to strict layouts and repeat runs, that early checking saves time and cost later.
- Busisiwe coordinates workflow from job release to finishing
- Johan checks print files, layouts and colour readiness
- Both support offset and flexo projects with careful planning
Client care and quoting with Siyanda
Siyanda Ramaboa leads client services and is often the first point of contact for new enquiries. She helps clients explain what they need, from page counts and binding choices to delivery points in Johannesburg, Pretoria or further afield. Her job is to keep the process clear, practical and easy to follow.
She also helps match the right print method to the job. A magazine with a glossy cover and tight turnaround may need a different approach from a stitched catalogue or a section sewn publication. Siyanda keeps the conversation focused on the details that matter, so clients get the right result without guesswork.
- Handles project queries through the enquiry form
- Supports quote requests and job specifications
- Assists clients across Sandton, Randburg, Midrand and beyond
Binding and finishing with Farieda
Farieda Adams coordinates bindery work and keeps the finishing side organised. She works across saddle stitching, perfect binding, case binding, section sewing, cover lamination, foil finishing and die cutting, making sure each publication leaves the bindery neatly finished and ready for packing.
Her role is important for both appearance and durability. A bound book needs to open properly, hold together well and look clean at the spine and cover edges. In humid coastal conditions or in offices where books are handled daily, a good finish can make a real difference.
- Manages binding schedules and finishing checks
- Supports special covers, lamination and foil detail
- Helps ensure neat trim, square spines and consistent glue work
Press, colour and quality control with Siphamandla
Siphamandla Ngwenya operates the press side with a close eye on ink, registration and consistency across the run. Whether the job is offset or flexo, he works to keep colour stable and print sharp from the first sheet to the last. That is especially important on magazines, inserts and publication work where brand colours need to stay true.
He also helps monitor production quality during the run so small issues can be corrected quickly. A steady press operator is one of the reasons a print room stays efficient, especially when time is tight and machines have to keep pace with dispatch dates.
- Maintains press quality and print consistency
- Supports colour accuracy and register control
- Works on both short and longer production runs
Packing, dispatch and delivery planning with Leanne
Leanne Naidoo handles logistics planning and helps get finished work out the door and on route. She coordinates packing and dispatch so books and magazines are counted, wrapped and sent with the right details for publishers nationwide. For clients in Johannesburg Central, Roodepoort or further out in the East Rand, that final stage matters just as much as the print itself.
She keeps the movement of goods practical and organised, taking into account collection times, delivery routes and the safest way to package printed stock. In trade work, a clean handover can prevent damage, delays and missing cartons.
Together, the team at Printing House brings a mix of print knowledge, hands-on experience and dependable coordination. Each person has a clear part to play, and that is what helps the business serve South African publishers and companies with consistency.
