Six presses. One roof.
Every label we ship is printed and finished in-house in Hyde, Greater Manchester — digital, UV inkjet, laser die-cut, inline foil and flexo. No outsourcing, no silent middlemen, no "we'll get back to you when the supplier replies". That's how we quote in an hour and keep express turnarounds on the table.
Best-in-class kit.
Ours, not outsourced.
Six presses and finishing lines under one roof — digital, UV inkjet, flexo, laser die-cut and inline foil. It's why we can quote in an hour and ship in a week.
Owning the press is owning the promise.
Every step of your job happens here in Hyde — which means faster turnarounds, tighter quality control, and a real human on the end of the phone if something needs a second look.
Quote in an hour
No back-and-forth with a supplier. The person quoting you can walk to the press and check capacity in real time.
Proof on the run press
Physical proofs are available and come off the exact same machine your production run will — no nasty surprises on delivery day.
Right press, right job
50 labels or 500,000. Digital for agility and variable data, flexo for high-volume runs, laser die-cut for one-off shapes — we pick, not push.
One team, one floor
Press operators, finishers and the person you emailed all sit in the same building. Problems get solved in minutes, not emails.
How a job moves through the factory.
The route your artwork takes depends on quantity, shape and finish — but the steps are the same every time.
Pre-press
Artwork hits our RIP. Colours profiled, die-lines checked, barcodes verified — then it's ready for the press.
Press
Under 5,000? HP Indigo. High-opacity white on film? Screen UV. 20,000+ identical? Edale flexo.
Finish
Inline foil, raised tactile textures, spot UV and lamination on our two ABG Digicon 3s. Or tool-less laser die-cut on the Digilase.
Slit, inspect, ship
Digicon Lite rewinds to your spec. 100% inspection on every reel. Next-day UK courier.
