Lithographic Printing
Lithographic printing ensures unmatched colour accuracy and consistency for high-volume projects. Using Heidelberg presses, we deliver crisp images and smooth gradients, ideal for magazines and brand-critical materials. Our process accommodates specialist inks and papers, ensuring durability and visual impact while maintaining cost efficiency for large runs.
Digital Printing
Digital printing provides flexibility for short runs and personalised content. Our technology enables quick turnarounds, variable data printing, and cost-effective testing of designs. With quality rivaling lithography, it supports eco-friendly processes and inline finishing, making it ideal for time-sensitive or customised projects.
Packaging Solutions
Bespoke packaging solutions enhance brand identity and product appeal. We create durable, visually striking packaging with options like metallic foils and embossing. Our white-label services allow clients to maintain brand control while outsourcing production, ensuring a seamless unboxing experience that aligns with marketing goals.
Print Finishing
Our finishing techniques include soft-touch lamination, spot UV varnish, and die-cutting to elevate printed materials. These processes add tactile and visual appeal, durability, and brand differentiation. From anti-scuff coatings to biodegradable lamination, we ensure both aesthetic and functional excellence.
Sustainable Printing
Sustainable practices underpin all our services, from FSC-certified papers to vegetable-based inks and 100% recycling of waste materials. ISO 14001-certified processes reduce environmental impact, while energy-efficient technology and water-based plate-making ensure responsible production without compromising quality.

We were looking for a new print supplier for a big bilingual booklet, and after due diligence of meeting Spectrum, and taking a tour of their premises we decided to give them a go. Their price was really competitive, but more importantly for us and the client, the quality was first class. They turned the job around on time with great communication and we (and the client!) were really pleased with the results. As a result I've just sent another job... and it won't be the last.

Really reliable company that deliver on time and the delivery people are really friendly. The products are boxed really well and neat and I would certainly recommend Spectrum Printing to anyone that needs any printing. Certainly use them again.
