It offers a full package of trade services from the initial design stage through printing and finishing to packaging, envelopes and cellophane bags.

Our on site facilities enable us to print (using either conventional litho or the latest digital techniques) foil stamp, die cut and crease, emboss, fold, bind, punch, drill and corner.

We also manufacture bespoke envelopes either plain or printed, a full range of cellophane bags which may be foil stamped and / or euro slotted, and packaging products in food grade material for the Jewellery, Cosmetic, Confectionery, Greeting Card and Packaging Industries.

The firm was founded in 1909 by Ernest Cummins a well-known Bradfordian. Since then five generations of the family have also been involved with the firm, Ernest’s two sons Eric and Donald, his Grandson Stuart, Great Grandsons Christopher and Nicholas, and now Great Great Grandchildren Sam, Hannah and Thomas. All have ensured that the company has kept up with the times. Investment has seen the installation of digital printing technology and more computerisation to keep pace with the demand of the 21st Century.

“We cater for the needs of Local, National and International Companies and are members of the British Printing Industries Federation and the local Chambers of Commerce,” says Hannah, who adds: “Our prices are competitive whilst remaining realistic, and we endeavour to ensure an accurate and swift turn around and a prompt delivery which will enhance our reputation as one of the oldest and most respected businesses in Bradford.

“Our digital presses enable us to give a speedy and economical service for short run quality colour work up to A3 format. Ideal for some quick turnaround business cards for a client’s last minute request or brochures for an exhibition they are attending tomorrow.”

Hannah concludes: “One thing that has not changed since my Great Great Grandfather founded the business is the principle he established – a prompt efficient service supplying quality goods at a competitive price.”
