court standard.

The biggest lever is colour. You can print only the page ranges where colour is absolutely needed, or choose complete black and white printing. If listed colour ranges would be difficult, we can run an auto-colour pre-flight scan to identify how many colour pages exist in your PDF versus black-only pages. We can use that to quote upfront, but it does require us to download and process the bundle file locally.

Tabs should make the bundle easier to use, not harder. We do not recommend going over 31 tabs per bundle. If the index is more detailed than that, it is usually better to split the matter into clearer volumes or rethink where tabs are genuinely useful.

You can upload files directly through our website using the Configure Your Bundle button below. This upload method uses Google's secure transfer and storage protocols. Before uploading sensitive material, check that the address begins with https:// and that your browser shows a secure connection or padlock for our legitimate website. We also accept Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive links. Access is generally limited to the staff member handling the job, who stays with it through pre-flight, printing, tab insertion, and binding. Misprints are destroyed immediately, completed bundles are boxed and sealed promptly, and documents are not left exposed to visitors or unrelated staff.

Black plastic comb binding is the standard method we use for court bundles. It accommodates substantial page counts, opens comfortably, and keeps indexed tabs easy to reach. We can also produce bundles in lever arch files when requested, although these are more commonly used for tribunal matters or internal filing than for court use. If your directions call for a particular format, send them with the files and we will produce the bundle accordingly.

Most firms supply paginated documents with an index that tells us where to place tabs. If you need us to paginate, we can, just let us know when you send the files.

Around 400 single-sided pages can be practical for many comb-bound working bundles. Appellate requirements can be lower: printed civil cases on appeal in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court may be limited to 250 pages per volume. We use the limit set by the relevant rules and any directions for your proceeding.

Yes. We can copy an existing hard-copy bundle or scan it into an organised digital file, then produce additional bound sets if required. Tell us how the source material is arranged and what you need back.

Urgency is common in this line of work, and we regularly prioritise bundles for hearings and filing deadlines. Same-day and next-day turnaround is often possible, depending on page count, tabs, copies, and current production capacity. Call us as early as possible so we can confirm the fastest realistic completion time.

PDF is strongly preferred for complete bundle documents because it locks the pagination and formatting to what you see on screen. We can work with Word files, most commonly for cover pages and indexes, but Word documents can reflow differently between operating systems, fonts, and software versions. That creates a risk of page numbers, line breaks, or the index shifting. Export the final bundle as a PDF whenever possible, then email it to info@copyland.co.nz or upload it through the configurator on this page.
