We run a diverse operation. As well as providing print we offer a full finishing capability and do trade finishing. Therefore, we get varied requirements from people.

Mainly we are using the machines for shrinkwrapping. Our previous machine was old, uneconomical and not very environmentally friendly. These machines are much more flexible, can be set up quickly and easily, are more energy efficient and we can put recyclable material through them.

We try and educate our customers on the different options available to them. Shrinkwrapping can provide a high level of protection to printed products, especially if a client has produced a prodigious book with a glossy finish.
