Caralan Printers

We are a small family business.
We operate industrial grade printing and finishing equipment.
All tasks that can be automated are automated, but everything is still handled by people.
We have been supplying Trade Print for over 30 years and we supply a first class product you can depend on.
Some of our customers are still with us after all this time.
Our philosophy is simple and enduring. We keep our overheads down and our productivity up and we supply a first class product for a second class price.

Our Business Model

We are a B3 Colour Litho Printer.
Our market is the point between the large but inflexible trade suppliers and the small but less capable litho and digital suppliers.
In short we do the jobs the big producers don't want and the small producers can't do.
We are intentionally structured to reliably deliver a high quality product at a low price.
Our overheads are low and we prioritise our investment in production.
We do not work for nothing because when companies do that they usually find themselves unable to provide the service required.

We understand that you don't want hassle from your customers and so we operate a very effective quality control regime.
The result is that customer complaints and reprints are almost unheard of.
All humans make mistakes, but our mistakes will almost never reach your customer.
Materials quality is a strong factor in customer satisfaction.
We maintain good reputation and buying power with our stable of reputable suppliers
Consequently we don't use second rate or clearance materials to cut costs.
It is worth spending slightly more to have no problems.
