Your print partner
Environmentally sound printing, produced to exceptionally high quality standards
Print Production
Inflationary pressure is creeping into every part of the supply chain. In today's challenging, fast-moving market, getting the best from your print production takes real effort.
We help you manage production globally to mitigate cost pressures and improve profitability.
Energy costs remain volatile, and unrest in the Middle East continues to disrupt transit times, shipping from China now averages 8-10 weeks. Shifting US tariff policy and new EU legislation affecting paper products (GSPR, EUDR) add further complexity to sourcing decisions.
Talk to us about switching production to an overseas factory that specialises in your specific product type. In many cases, this still delivers significant savings, even on higher-value products like sewn casebound books.
Minimum wage costs across Europe range from €551 to €2,704 per month, with a similarly wide range across Asia. Exchange rate shifts since the start of 2025, including the pound strengthening against the US dollar and Indian rupee, have widened the gap between European and Asian factory-gate prices, directly affecting your manufacturing costs.
We help you access the most cost-effective, productive, and ethical factories across Europe and Asia, and advise on the best way to get goods to your customers, including guidance on US tariffs and the recent removal of de minimis.
Our owner, Adrian Hatherall. has nearly 30 years' sourcing experience worldwide and has also worked for book printers both in the UK and China, giving him a unique insight into how products are manufactured.
We have relationships with the right print partner for almost any product, budget, or lead time.
Everything we do meets world-class quality standards and is ethically and environmentally sound, with carbon offsetting available on request.
