PCP completes trio of cup final jobs

Precision Colour Printing has produced three high-profile football programmes for customer publisher Haymarket Network.

The programmes, for the Europa League final in Amsterdam, FA Cup final at Wembley, and last weekend’s UEFA Champions League final also at Wembley, involved a total print run in excess of 150,000.

Paginations varied from 80pp to 112pp, with covers featuring matt lamination, spot UV varnish and foil blocking.

The text sections were printed on 130gsm Sappi Galerie Art, with covers on 250gsm Sappi Claro gloss. The paper was supplied by Antalis.

Haymarket Network senior account manager Jane Grist said PCP had done "a brilliant job" during an intense production period for the customer publisher.

Alex Evans, managing director at Telford-based PCP, added: "We were delighted to print these prestigious programmes for Haymarket who require the highest quality of print and production supported by a flexible and experienced customer service team.

"I am proud that PCP continue to work closely with the Haymarket team and look forward to developing our excellent working relationship in the future on more exciting projects."

PCP’s setup includes three web presses: a 32pp Manroland Rotoman, 16pp Komori System 38 and 32pp Goss Universal, as well as a six-colour B1 sheetfed Mitsubishi UV press and 10-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster 102 perfector.
