01924 473481As you’ll have picked up if you’ve been browsing through this site, we are virtually unique among commercial printers of our size in the North of England in that we do pretty much everything, and we do it well too.
Not only do we have a full range of litho, digital and screen printing equipment, but we also offer all the finishing services you’d expect of a one-stop shop print group, and one or two more besides. And we do it all in-house, which allows us to retain control of quality, turn things around extra quick when need be, and keep your costs as low as possible.
As well as in-line sealing, creasing and perforating, we can cut, stitch and fold.
We can provide confidential finishing services. And we can offer scratch’n’sniff, hot foil, embossing, metallic latex scratch cards, heat & reveal thermal printing, glow-in-the-dark inks, and re-moist gumming.
Such is our expertise in these areas that we regularly provide finishing services to the trade. We also offer a full range of ‘bureau’ finishing services for digital print including cutting/trimming, in-line booklet maker, laminating and wiro-binding.
By managing our print finishing in-house, we’re able to maintain the same quality control as we do over our litho, digital and screen printing services; we’re able to ensure that every stage of the production process – from studio to print to finishing – links seamlessly into the next; and we’re able to keep costs and deadlines as keen and competitive as possible.
As well as building up tons of expertise in our specialist print services, we’ve also made a significant investment in the specialist print equipment needed to deliver on our promises.
Folding is a central part of the print process in terms of both preparing materials for further finishing such as collating or binding, or finishing the product to its final size.
You may think that this is a technology suitable only for the stars stuck to the ceiling in your child’s bedroom, but that’s far from the reality.
Heat and reveal printing – also known as heat sensitive printing – uses thermochromic inks to create an effect that we’re all familiar with: the revealing of previously unseen graphics when heat is applied.
Re-moist gumming is a specialised type of gluing where adhesive gum is applied to an area of the sheet of paper to allow subsequent sealing by the end-user.
Applied using our Sias or SPS screen printing machines, latex ink delivers opaque coverage but is easy to remove using a coin or fingernail.
Smell is the most evocative of all the senses: from baked bread and freshly brewed coffee to fields of lavender and newly mown grass, smells affect our mood and evoke a whole range of emotional responses.
Spot UV varnish finishing is one of the most popular finishing techniques in business printing and for good reason.
We work closely with many local printing companies to offer a prompt, economical and totally confidential trade finishing service. The experience we have gained by managing a full spectrum of finishing and specialist print services means we’re able to advise on the best approach – in terms of speed, cost and end quality – to any finishing requirements, large or small.
Not only do we have a full range of litho, digital and screen printing equipment, but we also offer all the finishing services you’d expect of a one stop shop print group, and one or two more besides. And we do it all in-house, which allows us to retain control of quality, turn things around extra quick when need be, and keep your costs as low as possible.
