    Their service combines great design with a wide range of paper weights, textures, finishes and related products. Their customer service is outstanding and working with them is incredibly straightforward, saving me an ocean of time.

    AWESOME SERVICE AND PRODUCTS

    They really understood advertising and showed me that by using certain colours and styles I could promote it better. I wasn't entirely convinced at first, but by taking flyer experts advice, the event was sold out for the first time ever! They know what they are talking about - and offer really reasonable prices compared to agencies we've worked with in the past. Highly recommended.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    CONSISTENTLY GOOD QUALITY RESULTS

    They are very easy to work with, taking our basic ideas and turning them into fresh, original, finished designs quickly. Edits or alterations are never a problem and I appreciate their attention to detail. We've always found their printing to be good quality and because of this we now also send work from other designers through them.

    PROFESSIONAL HELP

    Helped with printed various leaflets for my clients and also helped with advice on the production of the print processes, which has meant that the print cost has been greatly reduced. I have been in Advertising and Marketing for over 40 years and they must be one of the most professional companies that I have worked with, producing a quality product at a great price. I would recommend them to any of my clients direct.

    FAST, RELIABLE, PROFESSIONAL

    We have used this company for our flyers and posters for 4 years and they have never let us down from design to print. Nothing is too much trouble and the value for money is second to none. They have done both design and print and just print works for us and cant fault them in any way. We have even had panic jobs where they have gone to print and got them to us in record time which we were very grateful for as they got us out of a pickle.

Good quality posters and flyers supplied as well as the artwork for future use. Good value for money. whole job was completed with the minimum of fuss. I would definitely recommend their services to others.

    EXCELLENT

    Their products are brilliant & they are willing to accommodate you with specific requests wherever possible. The product is of high quality & can be turned around in as quick as a couple of days if needed. They will come for an on site visit if required & they can also put ads onto your face book page remotely. Highly Recommended!!!

    SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER SERVICE

    I've worked with many printers and designers, and each time it fills me with dread. Working with my own expert at CP was simply a breeze, especially with their online consulting tool - revolutionary! The print was good, and everything arrived on time. The only negative I can think of was that the FedEx driver was rude because the boxes were heavy. Still, that's not a big problem. In short - if you're looking for some design work and printing, give these guys a call first.

    EXCELLENT PRINTING

    The service is very courteous and fast. The turnaround time for the job has always been less than a week. The paper and printing quality are excellent. I would highly recommend them for print jobs requiring standard sizes and inks.
