Printing that pleases.
All printing - from straightforward stationery, sheet and rolled labels, single sheet leaflets to multipage brochures - can be undertaken, at costs that will astound you.
We offer a full range of Litho Printing facilities using Heildelberg Speedmaster presses to ensure top quality results. In addition GrangeUK’s decision to invest in Heildelberg's CTP (computer-to-plate) technology takes printing to new heights, guaranteeing better colour quality and consistency, as well as streamlining production workflow.
What sets us apart from your usual printer is our ability to handle bespoke complicated finishing as well as:
• Thermography • Foil Blocking • Embossing • Die Cutting
• Laminating • Duplex and Triplex Boards • Die Cut Inlaying

Label Printing
Hot Foil Label Printing
The hot foil process is ideal for short run labels, or where large numbers of variants are required, the set up is fast and the flat bed tooling relatively inexpensive. Our foiling machines are able to laminate, die-cut, emboss and sheet in line, giving a highly finished label or tag. They can also interface with our thermal transfer and digital machines. Label designs produced as line work and solid areas are ideal for the hot foil process.
Flexography Label Printing
Flexography is a rotary process ideal for high volume conversion of labels due to the running speed of the machines, Using ink as the print medium enables accurate matches to specific pantone shades. Labels can also be varnished or laminated in line, label designs containing photographs and fine gradiation of tone can also be printed using the Flexography process.
Thermal Transfer Label Printing
Thermal Transfer is a plateless technology produces a computer generated print using a ribbon which passes between the print head and the substrate to be printed onto. Ideal for printing sequential bar-codes or any type of variable information.
Digital label Printing
This cutting edge technology is able to print photographic quality labels without the use of printing plates. Ideal for short to medium runs. This process works from artwork on disk or even from an e-mail to produce instant print.
Quality Control
The strict quality control procedures used by GrangeUK ensure that you receive the highest quality finished product.

Lithographic Printing
This is the traditional method of printing using oil-based ink. For long-run jobs this process is the most economic. The initial set up is more costly and time consuming which makes the process expensive for short runs. Once printing however, it is relatively cheap to increase the quantity required.
A benefit of lithographic printing is the ability to print with 'special' colours for example silver. Instead of being restricted to the colour range possible from cyan, magenta, yellow and black a specific ink can be used.
Another benefit of lithographic printing is being able to print on textured paper. This is because the ink is applied to the paper by a roller under pressure.

TRADITIONAL PROS AND CONS:
Pros:
- Cheaper on long-runs
- Ability to print 'special colours'
- Best process for large areas of flat tints
- Able to print on textured paper
- Expensive for short-runs
- Time consuming set up
- Slow turnaround
- Lithographic printing cannot be personalised
- Expensive to rectify mistakes
Digital Printing
For short-run jobs this process is ideal. Initial set up is minimal and a job can be completed in a fraction of the time taken with conventional printing.
Although traditionally 'special' colours are not available, an acceptable spot match can always be made from cyan, magenta, yellow and black (excluding metallic or fluorescent colours). It is also considered that the quality of digital printing does not rival that of lithographic printing; however, as technology advances, the perceivable difference in qulaity is narrowing.

TRADITIONAL PROS AND CONS:
Pros:
- No plates or films to produce so usually cheaper
- Good for quick turnarounds
- Flexible
- Short and long run quality
- Other printers can be expensive for long-runs
- Other printers can be expensive for larger formats
- Other printer can lack of accuracy with colours
