Printing

"Print links the present with forever. It carries

personal identity into realms unknown"

Neil Postman

There’s something solidly reassuring about professional printing. Websites and digital have

their rightful place but when aligned with professional brochures, business cards and letterheads

it adds gravitas to a company’s presence, permanence and professionalism.

Complete printing service - an extensive range of printed

materials however long or short the run.

We offer all formats - litho, digital, large format and continuous

from single spot Pantone colours to CMYK four-colour process, with

options on a range of print finishes, multiple laminates, spot UV,

foiling, metallics and raised printing.

With over 30 years of industry experience across the many and changing faces of print, we’ve

built our reputation on quality and service. Our clients receive a personal, professional service

and the assurance that the work we produce is to the high standards they expect.

When we embark upon a new project, we approach the brief from the perspective of both

the designer and the printer. With our many years experience across both sectors, we can

highlight the potential production economies and offer alternative solutions thus saving

time and costs whilst keeping projects on schedule and on budget.

With our attention to detail and an uncompromising level of quality and care, your

professional printing will create the right impression.

We also factor in functionality - how the item will be used and for what purpose - and

suggest the most appropriate materials, methods, formats and finishes to achieve the

most effective results.

People are around 70% more likely to remember a business seen in print compared to online

Around 80% of traditional printed mail is read compared to only around 20% of emails

The response rate for printed mail is around 40 times higher than for email

And then there are the less quantifiable metrics to consider.

Print is tactile, physical and tangible.

It is also easier to read, retain and refer back to than a website you’ve already scrolled

past or clicked away from.

There is less ‘noise’ and fewer distractions with physical mail - no pop-ups or flashing

banner ads clamouring for your attention.

Fewer items are posted now so 'physical' mail commands a greater degree of attention.

With less competition and when properly targeted it often results in a higher level

of engagement and recognition.

Would your business benefit from a print audit?

Whether you’re an established business or a new start-up preparing to launch,

our independent, impartial print audit could save you time, cost and resources.

As part of the process we will review not only your physical printed materials but also

their content, message efficacy, brand consistency and cohesion.

Design

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection

not when there is nothing left to add, but when

there is nothing left to take away."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

What we do is important

but it’s what you do that matters

We work with you in a consultative, collaborative partnership, quickly forming connections

to thoroughly understand your business, motivations and objectives

and those of your target market.

This deeper level of understanding and coherence enables us to convey your message

simply and naturally to your audience in your ‘language’ and ‘tone of voice’.

By working this way, we'll become as immersed and invested in your business as you are

so that we can create the most effective brands, projects, products and results.

This developing trust and rapport offers you greater freedom from the minutiae and

constant reiteration of your purpose thus keeping your project on brief, on objective,

on time and on budget.

It's rather like having your own in-house marketing department, print room, designer,

writer, project manager, consultant and strategist with over 30 years of business and

marketing experience (but without the HR issues or designer price tag!)

Marketing

"The only thing worse than being talked about

is not being talked about"

Oscar Wilde

Few of us us are fortunate enough to be able to rely on the Walt Disney 

'build it and they will come' approach to running a business. People are looking for

solutions and they want to find them wherever is most convenient to them - 

online, offline, locally, nationally, globally.

There's no effective 'one size fits all' solution to marketing so depending on your business

and your target market, we'll tailor a strategy specific to your needs, audience and budget.

Simplicity, Integrity, Excellence

Since 1987

DL began life in a spare bedroom on a wet Wednesday afternoon in 1987

with the sole aim of providing the best product and the best service.

It's fair to say that the business world has changed somewhat in our 30+ years. 

Back then, businesses typically had secretaries, typewriters,

fax machines and dot matrix printers. 

Mobile phones didn't exist and the internet was still a pipe dream.

We've witnessed numerous governments come and go,

technological and digital revolutions and a handful of economic recessions.

Some would say that in order to survive one must be adaptable, flexible and agile.

Others, steadfast, resolute, single-minded (or even stubborn).

Either way, we've evolved and have always embraced what is 

proven to demonstrate effective, progressive improvement.

By focussing on what works and tailoring simple, effective solutions aligned

with our client's objectives, challenges and motivations we will always stay true

to our original vision of providing the best product and the best service with

simplicity, integrity and excellence.
