The London-based print and design specialist moved to its new Wembley office, which has 93sqm of production and office space, in June.
“This has given us the opportunity to support over 3,500 local businesses as well as providing us more available space to operate our equipment,” said Apprintable managing director Peter Haddad.
“Moving to a larger office allows us to move many of our processes in-house, rather than externally, reducing the production time and cost for orders and giving us more of a grip on quality control.”
He added: “In recent months, we’ve seen tremendous growth, leading us to take high quantities of orders and bigger projects than ever before.
“Our new office and workshop space provides us more opportunities for technological advancements in printing, cutting, and finishing.”
Recent kit investments have included a Ricoh Pro C5300s with Fiery RIP, which was supplied by X-Press OnDemand and installed in August to replace an Oki Pro9431DN.
“This new printer allows us to have much greater capacity and better quality print for sharpness and detail, as well as bringing our costs down from our previous Oki print engine,” said Haddad.
“For cutting, creasing, and perforating, we’ve taken the next step to make our production even more efficient by acquiring an AeroCut Prime through Morgana. Paul and the team at Morgana have been a fantastic new partner for us, advising throughout the sales and after-sales process to get exactly what we need from the machine.
“The AeroCut Prime is an incredibly efficient cutting and creasing machine that allows us to produce and finish our marketing products at unrivalled speeds.
“We can now provide world class printing, cutting, and finishing for all of our customers’ in-house print products at a speed that’s rarely matched by other print companies of our size in the UK.”
The AeroCut Prime was installed last month and has replaced many of the functions of the company’s existing electric guillotine.
The business has also recently bought a Warrior Electric Round Corner Cutter from Chilvers Reprographics, with its total investment into new kit over the past six months totalling around £50,000. It is planning to spend another £25,000 to £50,000 during the current financial year to add more finishing and production equipment.
“Not only are our existing processes much more efficient, but the new equipment gives us more flexibility to produce new products,” said Haddad, adding that the additional kit has also freed up more time for the company’s team to focus on other roles to get its customers’ products to them as quickly as possible.
The eight-staff business, which was established in 2015 and now has a turnover of more than £500,000, also runs a Graphtec F-Mark Plus digital die-cutter and an Epson SureColor SC-F2100 direct-to-garment printer with a heat press and pre-treatment machine.
