"2011 is already proving to be a significant year in our company’s near 25-year history of serving our broad range of trade-only clients here in the UK and abroad. Northprint offers a great opportunity for us to showcase our innovative Print Marketing Partner Program, as well as to meet many of our hundreds of customers face to face and to thank them for their business over the years," said managing director Chris Laycock.

Elsewhere, Multigraf is among a number of new Northprint signings and will be launching its range of Touchline products at the Harrogate show. The fully automated creasing and folding machines boast easy operation and are aimed at the digital print finishing market.

The Swiss manufacturer joins UMG UK (Uchida), Sun Chemical, web-to-print start-up Tweak, and waste management company Viridor as the latest signings.
