The firm will print promotional material and handle the direct mail project for Age Concerns London-based administrative offices. It continues RPMs association with Age Concern as it has produced invitations, post cards, brochures, vouchers, letterheads, booklets and flyers for the charity.

This is part of our strategy of continually developing our range of services and equipment. It has helped us to work with other clients in the charity sector, said RPM managing director Jonathan Harry.

RPM will produce the material on both its short-run digital equipment and litho for long runs. Digital equipment includes two Xerox DocuPrint 6135s. Litho kit includes a Heidelberg five-colour SM 52.

We specialise in the high end short-run work with the combination of litho and digital. It helps to generate faster and shorter turnaround, said Harry.

As part of its direct mail capabilities, the company has stuffing, packaging polywrapping and mailsort services.

The company has also invested in large-format printing equipment for posters.

RPMs other work includes commercial print on its five-colour press and two-colour perfecting press. The company has recently added a DocuColor 2060 to boost its short-run capability. It also produces auction catalogues, technical manuals, short-run books and has a design and illustration department.

The family-owned firm has been operating for 30 years.
