Wishing everyone a calm, colourful run-up to Christmas.

At this time of year, it’s the little details that make things feel right.

Colour plays a big part in that.

From winter whites and soft blues to rich, festive tones that need to reproduce exactly as intended.

Getting it right takes care, consistency, and experience.

As the year draws to a close, we’re proud of the trust our customers place in us to handle those details properly, especially when colour really matters.

He did it! 🏅

Craig completed the AJ Bell Great North Run and smashed our fundraising target 🎉

With your incredible support we raised £400 for Cash for Kids North East which is more than our original goal. Every pound will go towards helping disadvantaged children right here in our region.

From start line nerves to a finish line medal, Craig’s run was worth every step knowing it makes a difference locally. Thank you to everyone who donated and cheered him on 🙌

The long-awaited partner to our digital foil guide is here - traditional foil.

Unlike digital foil, this finishing method uses a custom metal die, heat and pressure to press foil directly into the surface. The results? A tactile shine with depth you can feel.

In this carousel we’ve shared our top tips for setting up your files so you get crisp, consistent results. Perfect for agencies and designers who want to avoid costly errors and create work that truly shines.

Save this for your next project - and let us know, are you team digital or team traditional?

Craig's going the extra mile – and it’s for an amazing cause!

This September our very own owner and founder Craig will be taking on the miles in the AJ Bell Great North Run right here in our beloved North East in support of Cash for Kids North East.

This charity is close to home in every way – helping disadvantaged children across our region to get the support opportunities and little sparks of joy they deserve. Every pound raised stays local, making a difference in our own communities.

Craig’s been training hard (and yes we can confirm there’s been sweat, plenty of determination and more than one questionable playlist choice) – all to make sure he crosses that finish line for a cause that matters deeply to us.

We’d love your help to get him there.

Whether it’s the cost of a coffee, a Friday takeaway or a generous chunk of your biscuit budget – every donation adds up to real change for local kids.

📍 It’s local.

💛 It’s important.

🏃 And Craig’s doing the running so you don’t have to.

Donate here on JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/page/northern-print-solutions-cash-for-kids-gnr
Let’s cheer Craig on and help Cash for Kids keep making magic happen in the North East.

Foil spotting just got competitive.

Two finishes, one shiny challenge - could you tell them apart?

Whether you nailed it or not, it’s all about learning what works best for your design. There’s more to foil than meets the eye - and we’ve got plenty more to share.

Featuring work from James Dixon for Newcastle United Football Club and William Wood Watches - two standout examples of foiling done right.

CMYK, RGB, ASAP.

We speak both languages and help you get your artwork from screen to press without a hitch.

Not sure if your file’s print ready? We’ll check it, fix things like colour mode, bleeds or resolution if needed, and make sure it runs smoothly on press.

Great print starts with solid artwork - we do this every day for marketers and agencies who need it done right and done ASAP.
