Chris Stevens, client partner at Vantis division BRS, said the company went into administration due to a decline in sales coupled with difficult trading conditions in the current economic climate.
Operations ceased on Monday resulting in all staff being made redundant at the Eastbourne-based company. PrintWeek understands that around 30 staff were employed by the business.
Stevens said: "It is extremely sad when a long-run family firm is forced into insolvency. Sumfield and Day was a highly respected printer."
Sumfield and Day specialised in calendars, wedding invitations, Christmas cards, certificates and vouchers.
