Yorkshire print house launches new division with £1m investment

A Leeds print house has announced that it is launching a new division after investing £1m in new equipment.

Print-Leeds has launched a self-adhesive label division after investing £1m in a new printing press, finishing equipment and MIS system.

This new investment has been a year-long project, putting together the finance, buying the equipment and hiring the right team to take this new division to market.

Print-Leeds has invested in a Screen LS 350 SAI seven colour press, the first in the UK, and the market-leading Digicon 3, a modular finishing system which is tailored to the company’s requirements.

Rod Fisher, managing director of Print-Leeds, commented: “Adding self-adhesive labels to our offering is the obvious progression for the company.

“It’s been a real lockdown challenge for me – organising the finance, buying the machinery and recruiting the team.

“When Covid-19 hit I didn’t think I’d be able to achieve this – I thought my plans would be delayed.

“Over the years I have made a point of investing in new equipment so we are the most technically advanced printing company.

“This technology means we can print the best quality products for our clients. I don’t believe in the cheapest being the best – it’s the same with whatever you buy – our clients stay with us because our print is high quality and we provide superb customer service.”
