Print Pro, which currently operates out of a small industrial unit and a shop in Newport Market, will move to a larger shop above the M4 in Newport on 1 August.
Consolidating operations into a single location will make business significantly simpler, according to owner Matthew Healey.
He told Printweek that with he and his sister working a 20-minute walk apart in each unit, he had occasionally had to turn customers down.
He said: “At the moment, I get everything ready and planned to take up to the shop in the market – we do have a heat press there, so we can do some work – but we don’t have a cutter, and we don’t actually have any print machines up there.
“So sometimes you have customers bring up a kid’s football top, or on the way back from the rugby: they’ll bring a shirt, and ask you to put a name on the back before they leave, and we just can’t do that at the minute.”
The new shop, with store front and back rooms for machinery, will host Print Pro’s Roland DG BN-20 desktop printer-cutter, a Stahls Hotronix heat press and Fusion cap press, alongside a Galaxy heat press.
The two-person firm turned over £160,000 in 2022/23, with 80-90% of its revenue from garment printing.
Healey added: “We’ll be a lot more efficient, and will be able to get our work done a lot quicker. Working together, rather than putting all the pressure on someone working back at the unit, will help us.”
