Printers for Hull and the East Riding, Made in Yorkshire
Hull and the East Riding sit at the other end of Yorkshire from our factory, but the work is still produced in the same county. Fretwell makes commercial print, packaging and direct mail at our single site in Keighley, West Yorkshire, and has done since 1980. There is no Hull branch: we serve East Riding organisations from Goulbourne Street.
Many Hull briefs come from businesses that make, move or sell physical products. A product range may need a trade catalogue, printed cartons and an insert for the box, all in matching colours. Tell us what each piece has to do and we can plan the print, finishing and distribution as one job.
Print for makers, food producers and port businesses
Food and drink producers often need printed packaging, shelf material and sales literature to look like one brand. We print packaging and commercial work on the same presses and finish it in-house, so colour and stock choices can be checked across the whole set. Lamination, spot UV, foil blocking and embossing are available when a carton or brochure cover needs to stand out.
Logistics and port-related businesses tend to need practical documents: service guides, technical sheets, forms and branded stationery that are reprinted regularly. Digital print on Heidelberg Versafire and Konica Minolta AccurioPress suits shorter runs and frequent updates; our Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 B2 litho press suits longer runs. We can advise which route fits the quantity and how often the content changes.
Reaching customers beyond the Humber
A Hull business selling across the UK may need its mailing to reach customers far from the East Riding. Our data team prepares the address file, the pieces are printed and enclosed on Buhrs lines, and eligible UK mail is sorted for Royal Mail Mailmark at Keighley. The packs do not need to come back to Hull before they are posted.
For local audiences, a leaflet delivered by hand or a door drop may be the better route than addressed mail. We will ask who the piece is for and how it will reach them before recommending a format, quantity or postal option.
