Having bought large-format print ourselves, we understand that it can sometimes feel daunting and complex. That’s why support and service are such a big part of our approach. We offer customers a range of resources including user-friendly artwork templates and set-up guides, a handy price calculator, ‘profit potential’ tables, an image library, and unbranded brochures and spec sheets, all designed to make offering large-format print simple and profitable. Located across three floors, our basement houses our banner production, and fabric printing and cutting; we produce our rigid substrates and point-of-sale (POS) products on the ground floor; and our first floor is where our sales, studio, and fabric finishing teams are based. We are currently working on some exciting expansion plans that will enable us to increase our production capacity further and introduce new products – so stay tuned for more information on this soon!
