Some bits you need to know

With our range of suppliers and production techniques we can produce almost anything to meet your needs and your budget.

Sheet offset press: This is commonly used for point of sale material. The print is of high quality, and after printing we apply the sheet to carton or cardboard. This way we get a rigid sheet from which to produce boxes and signs.

UV offset: Seven-color sheet press adapted for printing on plastic. Also prints intense colours on paper that no other press can achieve. Matt/gloss varnish, solid or metallic inks.

Screen printing: The ideal way to print 1-2 colours on cardboard or large format 4-colour printing. The UV varnish can give a high gloss and protects from moisture. Screen printing is also used for banners and flags in larger quantities keeping them cost effective.

Digital printing: This printing method is evolving every year, perfect for smaller quantities if you want the highest photographic quality. The materials used are anything from fabric, plastic and paper to thick rigid materials.
