(August 2010) PROTOTYPING SERVICE EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

During the last 6 months we have seen our bespoke design, prototype and consulting services develop in to a well respected standard throughout the trade. We are regularly asked to comment on designers ideas and agency concepts at the planning stages with projects we work on often the subject of award nominations. On your next campaign speak to us and eliminate the risk of poorly designed, non working, inferior products through bad or lack of cardboard engineering and allow us to give you the ability to demostrate to your customer a professional CAD cut sample of your design to highlight any production issues along with application ready cutter guides for easy artworking and an email ready slideshow of your project to impress your clients and help you make the sale.

 

(July 2010) CHANGES TO LOW SPEND ACCOUNTS

From July 2010 we will require payment on invoice for all monthly spends below £100+VAT. The time and costs involved in providing account facilities for these lower values can be considerable and recent changes to our credit insurance policy means we must impose such terms. We prefer to receive electronic or online payment methods but we also accept cash and cheques. We will continue to offer credit accounts (subject to status) for clients with monthly spends above this current threshold.

 

(June 2010) EDUCATION SUPPORT PROGRAMME

We are honoured to have been invited by a local education service to negotiate on a programme to offer students an insight to our maufacturing facility including the processes and techniques used in a 'hands on' production environment. It was refreshing to have been recognised for our commitment to investing in the very latest technologies available in order to improve workflow efficiency whilst reducing our environmental impact. To be chosen for our development and adaptation of existing processes to provide an increasingly diverse range of services was simply flattering.

 

(May 2010) LATEST PLANT & SERVICES LIST AVAILABLE

In recent weeks it has come to our attention that some of our clients are not fully aware of the dynamic range of services that we have to offer. On many occasions when clients have been delivering or collecting their work they have seen another process in action and commented that they often required that service but were unaware we offered it. We have produced an informative PDF outlining all our key pieces of plant and also the many services that we are able to offer from under one roof. Please email us including your full name, company details, telephone number and type of business and we will be pleased to forward you a copy by return email.

 

(Apr 2010) NEW LARGE FORMAT CAD CUTTING TABLE INSTALLED

Due to popular demand and the ongoing growth of our bespoke prototyping service as well as an increase in our short run and digital markets we have invested in the latest cutting, creasing and plotting table from Kasemake. With a huge footprint of 2500mm x 1600mm this latest addition to our plant will handle a diverse variety of stock from folding box board and corrugated to plastics and foam, all with speed, ease and accuracy owing to a precision laser registration system, ensuring that your printed substrate is in register every time.

 

(Mar 2010) CHANGES TO OUR ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS

HMRC plan to phase out the use of paper VAT Returns from April 2010, when businesses will be required to file their VAT Returns and make payments online. As this will apply to most of our clients, from April 2010 we will also request clients make payments to us electronically if they do not already. Our account details are on every invoice we send out. After listening to feedback from our clients we will still post hard copies of invoices each month but, if you wish to pay by a non electronic method then a monthly administration charge may be added to your account to cover the costs associated with handling such payments.
