It only seems like yesterday we were putting together our ‘News’ of 2023 Where did this year go!
To start, we would like to wish our clients and suppliers both existing and new to our services, a restful season break and a peaceful New Year. The team of Steve, Duncan, Mark, Rosie and Neil look forward to working with you in 2025.
We were busy behind the scenes firstly launching ‘iPrint Post’, a simple to use address data capture system primarily used in the Communication Industry as well as Marketing and PR Agency’s to ‘grab’ addresses for mailers. In 4 steps, upload file, let us know specs as wel as 1st or 2nd class, date to be posted, select the area and ‘Submit’. With a response in under an hour, you may be able to get the mailer in the post same day.
Sign up for iPrintPost and give it a try, it’s a free service.
Also with Terrain View and Radius Search options
PDF Counter
We then looked at the time consuming task of counting page numbers in a zip file and pdf’s especially in the Planning world with Inquirys, Appeals, core docs etc.
Our (again free to use) PDF counter is allowing us to quote faster and our clients to time manage reading times once they know what the zip file contains. Try out iPrint PDF Counter here. You will receive an email with page numbers and for a further breakdown on pages sizes, contact the team.
The NPPF
We are poised and ready to hit the ‘Print’ button on the new NPPF when released in January (?). Our first run in 2024 of complimentary copies reached almost 1000 clients.
The response for a copy in 2025 has been almost double this already. If you have not requested a copy and would like one sent ‘on the house’ contact one of the team.
Communications
and Engagement
Our ‘one stop solution’ for Engagement events is allowing our clients to concentrate on their core skill without the stress of printing for all the collateral a consultation requires.
We aim to be there through the initial community mailer with (free address data capture), all the roller banners, brochures, feedback forms and all. We then have a set up / derig service which can include SIA security and first aid personnel.
Finally, iPrint Manage can recycle the banners and boards to save cluttering up office space. Add event hardware to hire from easels to feedback form boxes and the one call, really does, solve it all.
Retail, Office
and Leisure Graphics
We had a busy year installing wayfinding, wall, window and floor graphics in all workplace, warehouse and retail environments even train depots and rugby clubs.
From illuminated signage to shelving signs to bespoke printed whiteboards – There is not much we can’t install.
Vehicle Signage & Branding
Supporting companies with their vehicle branding as well as assisting in crash damage and associated new vinyl that has to be applied has started to be a useful resource.
Vehicle Signage & Branding
We ran many sail flags and outdoor signage, ideal for events where your company is a sponsor. Plus a flag for a motor cruiser – Possibly the best boat name so far?
iPrint Manage ‘Know Hows’ – Templates and instructions for artwork for roller banners. This page will grow over the year answering print related questions and advice on presentations.

Hoarding Graphics, Installations and Fencing
Again, the hoarding arm of the company had some interesting projects, including adding viewing domes which gave a glimpse of the ‘other side’ of a 3m high installation.
We are also installing all types of fencing plus HERAS to purchase or Hire with or without graphics. Scanned 100s of local schools drawings and they were incorporated in the design.
