A thirty‑four year printer's tale.

A short history of the press, the people, and the reasons we're still here after three decades of a trade that keeps being told it's dying.

About

We started in 1992 with two presses and a stubborn belief that marketing teams deserved a single supplier who could handle everything they actually needed, not one who could only sell them what it happened to own.

In the intervening decades the machines have changed, the mix has shifted from litho to digital and then to a thousand things in between, and the promotional-merch catalogue has grown from a few dozen items to more than three thousand. What hasn't changed is the phone number and the people answering it.

The proposition is as simple today as it was in 1992. Bring us the brief.

We'll price it, prove it, make it, and deliver it.

Our job is to make your campaign, launch, event or rollout feel inevitable from your side, no matter how many moving parts it has on ours.

There are bigger printers. There are cheaper ones. What we offer, and have offered since the beginning, is the same handful of humans picking up the phone, every day, for decades.

That’s continuity.
