Promo Trade Print is a UK trade printer for promotional merchandise. They supply products to agencies, resellers and merchandise sites.
The owner, Nick Underwood Lea, says, “Drinkware is a big part of what we do and is a very fast-growing market. Customers keep asking for more colour and more complex designs that demand positions our old setup simply couldn’t deliver. It was slow, limited on where it could print, and would only handle certain types, styles and shapes of bottles.”
“For an important purchase like this, trust in a provider is hugely important. Scott Clutton at China Print Supplies came highly recommended by two or three people in the trade, and when we met, I felt that he would make sure we got a machine that would give us what we were looking for.”
“I gave him the brief on what we were trying to do, and he got it straight away. He clearly understood our business, the challenges we face and the opportunities that are out there for us. He recommended and installed the Dlican DLI-360s, and in a very short time, this printer has revolutionised our company.”
“The Dlican is fast, it prints full colour right round a bottle, and it handles all the weird and wonderful shapes of drinkware our customers throw at us. Most of this sort of work is still produced in the Far East and then delivered to the UK on long lead times. Turning it around here in the UK in a matter of days really sets us apart from the competition, and in a very short time, it has generated huge amounts of business. We are flat out!”
“We’ve not had the machine for long, and the enquiries and orders coming in are building every day. The Dlican DLI-360s is going to pay for itself easily within six months. You can’t ask for a much better investment than that.”
