How to obtain a service
Clients share their requirements and expectations with UN Geneva. For printed products, the Design and Production Section will provide professional advice on the technical specifications and materials to be used. A quotation will be sent to the client and the client’s Finance Manager or authorized personnel signs the quotation and sends it to UN Geneva. Then the client raises a formal request via gDoc by attaching all the relevant files and specifying key requirements in the request, including distribution-related requirements. UNOG then reviews and validates the final files and prepares a proof copy for client’s final approval before sending them for printing. The review and validation of client files should start early to ensure timely delivery.
For design and layout, web and multimedia products, usually designers from the Design and Production Section exchange with the clients to analyze their needs and propose solutions. Once agreements are reached and the scope of work is defined, a quotation will be sent to the client who has to accept it before work on the product can begin. The designers will provide templates and proof copies for the clients’ approval at different stages of the project.
Timelines
The usual turnaround time for printing publications, technical reports and outreach materials are between two to three weeks for existing clients, for a print-run between 50 copies to 3,000 copies. This is calculated from the date the client submits the final print-ready file to the date the products are printed and ready for collection.
All clients, including non-regular clients and new clients, are strongly encouraged to contact genevapublishing@un.org well in advance to book a production slot. Clients need to prepare files in the right format for printing, which should be factored in when calculating preparation time.
Clients who require printing service as part of the conference service need to contact UN Geneva well in advance to ensure that all payments can be processed in time.
