Print week awards 2023

We were thrilled to be shortlisted in 2024 as a finalist for Innovations of the Year category at the Print Week Awards, for our programmatic direct mail. We were pipped to the post by a worthy winner but felt proud to be nominated by the industry giants in this category.

DIGITAL PRINT AWARDS 2013

We swept the board at the Digital Printer of the Year Awards 2013. Our work with creative agency The Drummer and charity client Compassion won not only two awards but the overall Supreme Award at the ceremony, which is often referred to as one of the best print industry events of the year.

It was the Added Value entry that won the company the Supreme Award, the judges said, ‘It is a well thought out, long term integrated campaign, demonstrating the benefits of digital and engaging for the sponsor and recipient’.

“These awards are a fantastic achievement for us all, comments David Saunders, Managing Director. They really help put us on the map and are in recognition of three years of work with our client in developing an integrated campaign with longevity and meaning for the sponsor.”

DIGITAL PRINT AWARDS 2021

Winning again in 2021 for our work with Compassion, in the Added Value category. This campaign for our client Drummer and their charity Compassion had been discussed for some time, with all parties looking at what could be achieved using digital print and intelligent fulfilment. Compassion is a world leading child sponsorship charity, with projects covering 26 countries worldwide, UK sponsors are encouraged to write to their sponsored child and receive hand-written responses.

The judges said:”The unique packs produced demonstrate excellent use of both back-room technology combined with best print production methods.”

Gill Saunders, Director: “Winning at the Digital Printer Awards in 2021 was a true accolade for a campaign we had spent two years developing and realising for our client, to have been judged by industry expects and winning was a proud moment for us.”

We also have inkjet machines for single colour high speed addressing and 4 colour variable envelope printing, meaning that we can produce and personalise a wide range of media types and formats.

ENCLOSING, FULFILMENT AND RESPONSE MANAGEMENT
