Sometimes manufacturing facilities can be a grey place to work, but they don’t need to be.
Just a few well placed panels and vinyl can transform a workplace and is also a great way to show off finished products to visiting customers, especially when they are fitted on site.
A big thank you to Slingco Ltd for allowing us to show you how this can be done.
As the longest day approaches, AB Print Group are looking forward to seeing how many Kilowatts of power our new solar panels generate.
Since installing 250 solar panels in December 2022, and in conjunction with our wind turbine, we’ve generated 126,351 Kilowatts over the last 6 months, supplying more than 30% of our overall power requirements for 2023.
You can be confident that when partnering with AB Print Group you’re helping to keep the planet healthy.
We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come so far. Not just for our business, but for helping our customers reduce their CO2 footprint too. But we can all do more, and AB Print fully supports the Trusts mission to plant 50 million trees across the UK by 2030.
Protection of ancient, veteran and valuable woods and trees, to stop the loss of irreplaceable habitat and carbon stores, preserving our natural heritage.
Restoring the ecological condition of existing native woods and trees, increasing landscape resilience and creating conditions for nature and people to thrive.
Creating quality woodland and growing native trees to benefit
nature, the climate and future generations.
100% of the funds raised through the programme are passed directly to the Trust to fund woodland conservation and the planting of trees, which can absorb carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
The Carbon Capture® programme gives AB Print and our clients the opportunity to mitigate carbon and demonstrate their sustainable development goals.
Here at AB Print, we can offer a wide range of printing services to help you promote your business. One question we get asked a lot about is what kind of binding is right for your printed brochures, booklets and books?
There are many brochure binding methods for finishing your printed works, and each has both advantages and disadvantages. While we can’t tell you which binding process is right for your printed products, we can help by giving you more details to help you choose.
This method is similar to stapling, where groups of 4 creased pages are collated together and stitched using metal wire in the centre crease. This wire can be seen from the inside and the outside of the document. This form of binding can be used on as many as 100+ pages, depending on the thickness and weight of the paper
This technique is also known as stab stitching. The metal wire is stabbed through the edge of loose papers, from front to back. The wire is then folded back on itself and covered using binding tape.
This method is done using grouped sections or loose pages which have a hot glue coating to the edge and set inside a separate wrap around cover. This method is the more expensive choice and requires a spine thickness of at least 3mm.
This common binding method is used for low-cost documents and may also be known as comb binding. A document made of loose pages with a loose front and back is punched along the edge and held together using either a wire or plastic comb. The combs are available in a wide range of colours and lengths.
These are just a few of the choices to bind your printed products with AB Print. We are based in Dewsbury and can offer a wide range of services to a number of businesses in the local area.
We have provided businesses with high-quality commercial stationery, promotional banners and exhibition stands, as well as brochures and flyers for all occasions. If your Wakefield, Dewsbury or Huddersfield business is looking for high-quality printing services please contact us on 01924 473481.
With Christmas just around the corner, you’re probably already thinking of what cards your family will give out this year. Well, we’ve got you covered!
Here are a few tips and tricks on how to make sure that you’ll be the talk of the town with your Christmas card printing this year.
Our advice for you this year is to keep it simple! There’s really no need for glitter and pompoms and ridiculous accessories. A small, colourful illustration featuring a witty Christmas-related line, possibly personalised for those close to you may be the way to wow this year.
As mentioned above, everyone wants to feel special, and adding a personal element to a card is one way to achieve this. Your friends or colleagues will be receiving many of the same generic cards, so personalising yours will make your card stand out and be one to remember.
Now this is one to wow the family with – scratch and sniff printing! We’ve all received Christmas cards with puddings or cookies on them…but now, you can smell them too. A warm, Christmassy scent of cinnamon or hot cocoa will make your cards warming to receive. What better way to say, ‘Merry Christmas’ than smelling the cosy aroma of biscuits and chocolates! You’ll have your loved ones wanting to eat your cards up.
Here at AB Print, we pride ourselves on providing a service where everyone is happy. We’ll ensure that your designs and cards will be made to the highest possible quality. With over 40 years of experience, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed. To find out more, get in touch with us on 01924 473481, or email us at enquiries@abprintgroup.com.
AB Print Group have teamed up with the Woodland Trust, to create new hedgerows in West Yorkshire.
It is said that when the skies are clear and the sun is shining there is no better place to be than out in the countryside, that couldn’t be truer when talking about the picturesque town of Keighley, nestled between the Airedale countryside and the Haworth Moorland in West Yorkshire; the location of AB Print most recent tree planting day, supporting the Woodland Trust’s MOREhedges scheme.
As part of the Woodland Trust’s woodland creation initiative, MOREhedges provides saplings, advice and funding for new hedging projects of 100-1000 metres, at sites around the UK. Hedgerows are important features of the countryside as they create new wildlife corridors that connect trees with the surrounding landscape.
Throughout the day, AB Print successfully helped to plant over 500 saplings, including species of tree such as field maple, hawthorn, hazel and crab apple. These saplings will form part of a planned 600m of hedgerow for the area and will help to provide landscape corridors with the adjacent woodland areas as well as beneficial habitats that support small mammals, birds and insects.
AB Print are proud supporters of the Carbon Capture® programme. The scheme has grown to become the industry’s leading environmental initiative with well over 600 customers fully signed up and committed to the cause. To date AB Print has helped to raise in excess of £1.37m for the Woodland Trust, planting over 354,000 trees and capturing over 82,000 tonnes of CO₂; and the best part is 100% of all money raised through the Carbon Capture® programme, goes directly to the Woodland trust to help create and maintain native woodland around the UK.
