Your print partner
Environmentally sound printing produced to exceptionally high quality
Print Production. Now more than ever with inflationary cost increases creeping in to every element of the supply chain, you need to work hard to ensure you are getting the best out of an extremely challenging and rapidly changing market.
We can look at how best you can manage your production globally to mitigate those cost challenges and help you increase your profitabilty.
Energy costs will continue to be volatile for the forseeable future and the continuing unrest in the middle east is playing havoc with transit times, with shipping times from China now averaging 8-10 weeks. The ever changing tariff and geopolitical situation in the US is also creating very challenging business decisions, as is new legislation affecting paper products such as GSPR and EUDR for products sold within the EU.
However, talk to us and we can advise on how switching production to a different factory overseas with a particular niche in the type of product you need to produce may help you minimise this. In some cases, you may find you can still make some fairly dramatic savings on higher added-value products such as sewn casebound books.
Across Europe minimum wage costs range from €551 to €2704 per month, with a similar wide band within Asia. Exchange rates movements since the start of 2025 have also been significant, with the pound strengthening considerably against the US$ and the Indian Rupee, widening the gap between European and Asian factory gate prices.
This has a direct impact on your manufacturing costs. We can help you take advantage of the lowest cost and most productive (and ethical) factories in Europe and Asia and advise on the most cost effective means of getting goods to your customers, including expertise on US Tariffs and the recent removal of de-minimis.
