Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Screen, textile and digital printers Signal UK has gone from strength to strength since its formation in 2005.
As joint managing director, Paul Chapman, says: “We started from small premises in East Sussex with a 30x40in handbench and drying rack and a six colour manual carousel and small dryer, we have now moved to larger premises near Tunbridge Wells and are fully automated where we are able to offer all our services under one roof.”
A lot has happened in 10 years, including investment in many pieces of equipment so the printer can expand its offering to customers. Now Signal UK offers screen, textile and digital printing, along with promotional items customised to the client’s individual needs.
“We are determined to offer excellent quality, service and cost and with the continued investment into the company and the diversity of print offered along with the 30+ years of experience we are confident that we have the total solution for all your print and promotional needs,” added joint managing director Gary Rose.
Later this year Signal UK aims to launch its online shop which will enable customers to design, order and pay for printed garments, promotional items, business cards and more online. The company also plans to sell its own branded garments.
It is hoped the DTG department will be expanded, with further investment in additional printers.
