Print, Packaging & Direct Mail for Southampton and Hampshire
Southampton businesses often deal in things that travel: cargo, cruise passengers, marine equipment and goods moving through the port. Their print needs to work in the same way, whether it is a product catalogue for distributors, a carton for a retail range or a mailing to customers across the country. Fretwell produces all three at our factory in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
We are a long way from Hampshire and do not claim a local presence. Our value is a single site where print, finishing, packaging and mailing are produced together, with finished work delivered or mailed wherever it needs to go.
Catalogues and literature for trade customers
Marine, logistics and engineering firms often need technical catalogues and price lists that dealers and customers keep for months. PUR perfect binding gives a durable spine, lamination protects covers that are handled often, and our Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 B2 litho press keeps colour consistent across longer runs.
When prices or product details change between regions or customer types, our digital presses can print versioned editions so each audience gets the right information. That is often cheaper than holding stock of a single catalogue that quickly goes out of date.
Retail, universities and Hampshire organisations
Hampshire retailers and consumer brands may need printed packaging, swing tags and inserts that match their in-store and online presentation. Universities and colleges in the area may need prospectuses, open day materials and alumni mailings. We can plan these jobs around the audience and the distribution, not just the print run.
For addressed campaigns, our data-processing team prepares the file, our presses print personalised items, and our Buhrs lines enclose them for Royal Mail Mailmark sortation where eligible. FSC chain-of-custody and ISO 14001 certification help when procurement asks about responsible sourcing.
