Demand for specialty products, such as vibrant whites, metallics, and unique finishes, continues to rise, with a significant number of customers planning to invest in these applications over the coming years.

Short‑Run Packaging

Superior colour consistency and print quality make white ink ideal for customised short‑run packaging applications.

Wood Packaging

Perfect for gifting and wine packaging, white ink delivers exceptional image quality on wood substrates, enhancing brand appeal.

Window Blinds

Safe, odourless, and fade‑resistant, white ink produces high‑quality indoor applications with long‑lasting performance.

Create high quality visual displays and grow profit margins

Retail display application

62% shoppers make impulse purchases, partly due to eye-catching displays, underscoring the importance of having high-quality, vibrant communication material. It cuts through the noise, drives more footfall, and is naturally in great demand from brands, who are willing to pay a premium for such prints.

Print shops that can offer fast, colourful display and signage using innovative printing technologies enjoy higher margins and drive better products across multiple applications:

Banners
Design and develop a variety of indoor and outdoor banners that prominently display your brand. Durable banners hold up in harsh conditions, ensuring your message is always visible.


Indoor retail spaces can benefit greatly from POP signage, premium corrugated cardboard displays, and more. Free-standing promotions can capture attention and drive impulse purchases.

Signage
From soft signage for indoors to backlit signage (with vivid colors and deep blacks) for outdoors, your overall display strategy can be a gamechanger in terms of driving footfall.

Window graphics
Wrap window displays with long-lasting, high-quality graphics that work in almost every space and capture attention immediately.

From signage to textiles, you can easily produce vibrant, durable prints on diverse substrates, positioning your business as an industry leader in providing innovative solutions and adhering to environmental responsibility.
