Certifications & associations

What we hold, and what it covers

Accreditation only matters if it changes how the work is done. Each of these shapes a specific part of our process, from how a data file arrives to what happens to the offcuts.

  • ISO 9001

    Quality Management

    Our quality management system governs how a job moves from brief to despatch, including the proofing stages every campaign passes through before it goes to press.

  • ISO 14001

    Environmental Management

    Environmental management covers our waste streams, paper sourcing and the ongoing work to cut the carbon footprint of the campaigns we produce.

  • ISO 27001

    Information Security

    Client data arrives securely and is handled under controlled access. Financial details are redacted before records are scanned, and physical returns are securely destroyed on site.

  • FSC Certified Stock

    Responsible Paper Sourcing

    Responsibly sourced paper and board, so the material a campaign is printed on can be traced back to a managed forest.

  • Royal Mail & DSA

    Postal Accreditation

    Extensive experience in Downstream Access and Royal Mail services, which is where a great deal of the saving on a large mailing is actually found.

  • GDPR Compliant Processing

    Data Protection

    Suppression, retention and secure destruction handled as part of the standard process rather than as an afterthought, across every data service we run.

Certificates are available on request. Ask us and we will send the current copies across with your quote.

Environmental commitment

Less waste, fewer miles, smaller runs

Cutting the environmental cost of a campaign is mostly a matter of not producing what nobody will read. A profiled, suppressed file means fewer packs. Digital print means short runs without plate waste. Aweb to print portal removes physical proofs and stops clients printing a year of stock that ends up in a cupboard.

On the Compassion programme, replacing an international postal loop with digital print cut both postage costs and carbon footprint substantially, while shortening the cycle from months to a week.

Awards

Recognised by the industry

  1. 2023

    Print Week Awards

    Finalist, Innovations of the Year

    We were thrilled to be shortlisted in 2024 as a finalist for Innovations of the Year category at the Print Week Awards, for our programmatic direct mail. We were pipped to the post by a worthy winner but felt proud to be nominated by the industry giants in this category.

  2. 2021

    Digital Print Awards

    Winner, Added Value

    Winning again in 2021 for our work with Compassion, in the Added Value category. This campaign for our client Drummer and their charity Compassion had been discussed for some time, with all parties looking at what could be achieved using digital print and intelligent fulfilment. Compassion is a world leading child sponsorship charity, with projects covering 26 countries worldwide, UK sponsors are encouraged to write to their sponsored child and receive hand-written responses.

    Winning at the Digital Printer Awards in 2021 was a true accolade for a campaign we had spent two years developing and realising for our client, to have been judged by industry experts and winning was a proud moment for us.

    Digital Print Awards

    Supreme Award plus two category wins

    We swept the board at the Digital Printer of the Year Awards 2013. Our work with creative agency The Drummer and charity client Compassion won not only two awards but the overall Supreme Award at the ceremony, which is often referred to as one of the best print industry events of the year. It was the Added Value entry that won the company the Supreme Award, the judges said, 'It is a well thought out, long term integrated campaign, demonstrating the benefits of digital and engaging for the sponsor and recipient'.

    These awards are a fantastic achievement for us all. They really help put us on the map and are in recognition of three years of work with our client in developing an integrated campaign with longevity and meaning for the sponsor.

Kit list

What sits on our production floor

Everything below is in our own building at Burnt Oak Business Park. Nothing on a standard campaign is subcontracted out.

01

Data processing, workflow & document handling

Data is received securely and our Kingsline Data Cleanse will highlight any incomplete or sub-standard addresses, including a match against industry suppression files for deceased and gone-aways. Further in-depth enhancement can be completed which includes a profiling tool using external lifestyle databases. We build bespoke Workflow programs for our print on demand and white paper solutions, and specialist scanning software is used for document scanning, data capture and archiving. For our not for profit clients we use Raisers Edge for payment processing of donations and donor management.

02

Digital print and imaging

We have a digital suite of Ricoh colour and laser printers with a maximum sheet size of 320mm x 480mm, with paper weights from 80gsm to 350gsm. We also have inkjet machines for single colour high speed addressing and 4 colour variable envelope printing, meaning that we can produce and personalise a wide range of media types and formats.

03

Enclosing, fulfilment and response management

When it comes to the last stage of enclosing we have a fulfilment department using high speed inserters with inline folders for fast and accurate document handling. There are always those quirky direct mail campaigns which can't be machine enclosed, for which we have a team of experienced hand work specialists to manage the most complex of projects.
