Screen printed board
Screen printing is a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other fine mesh. A number of screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design which makes it ideal for large bold imagery and generally suited for smaller production runs. Unlike Flexo and Litho, screen print does not require pressure as a part of the print process, making it versatile for all types of shapes and substrates and use in a variety of sectors.
Our offering can include…
- Screen printing on a variety of packaging materials including wood (timber), paper, glass, metal, and plastic
- Assistance with the artwork, design and layout
- Mock-up samples where required
Lithographic printed card
Litho printing (lithography) is ideal for high quality volume printing. The image is made of a polymer coating applied to a flexible aluminium plate. Most types of books of high-volume text are printed with offset lithography, making it a great option for fine detail printing on point-of-sale (POS) products.
Our offering can include…
- Fine detail and excellent print registration on to printed card
- Litho printing for POS stands and display units, header cards (used individually or with plastic blister packs), printed sleeves and folding box boards (FBB)

Digital printing
Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of materials. Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more traditional offset printing methods, but a much shorter turnaround time making it a great solution for ‘one-off’ printing in small volumes to use as mock-ups or prototypes.
Our offering can include…
- Digital printing for mock-up work and proofing tools for point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-purchase (POP) products
