Printers in York for Brochures & Direct Mail
York has many stories to tell: a visitor guide, a heritage programme, a university publication or an appeal from a local charity all ask different things of print. Fretwell serves York from our Keighley production site, with litho, digital, finishing and direct mail in one operation.
We can help translate a content-heavy brief into a usable printed piece and, where relevant, plan how it will be posted. Speak to us about the reader, the format and how often information changes before settling on a process.
A partner for publications and campaigns
Visitor literature should be easy to carry and consult; a heritage booklet may need space for images and longer text. We can discuss page size, paper and binding, including saddle stitching and PUR perfect binding. For material that changes between editions, our digital capability offers a way to plan versions without treating every update as the same long run.
Our Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 B2 litho press handles commercial colour print; Heidelberg Versafire and Konica Minolta AccurioPress equipment covers digital applications. Folding, guillotining, lamination and other finishing processes are available on site. The choice depends on the publication rather than its postcode.
Reaching residents and visitors
A tourism organisation may distribute brochures in person, while a charity or membership organisation may need to reach recipients at home. We can produce the former and handle data preparation, enclosing and eligible UK Mailmark sortation for the latter. The printed content and its distribution should reinforce each other.
University-related teams may need different content for different audiences. We can discuss versioned guides and personalised mail, with FSC chain-of-custody material options where appropriate. We do not claim to be a York-based print shop: our strength is the combined production capability at our Yorkshire factory.
When the publication has a long shelf life, make sure dates and changing information can be updated without reworking the whole piece. If it is designed for a particular exhibition or event, tell us how it will be handed out and whether it needs to fit inside another printed item.
