Commercial Printing

Commercial printers for commercial businesses, including a marketing strategy, advertising and graphic design. I run a print business working on so many various printing needs that it’s impossible to list them all, but here are just a few. I pride myself on being cost-effective, offering you the right price, and setting high standards.

Printing Belfast

I print and design in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for many customers and clients, but let’s focus on brochures and explain more about my Belfast printing shop later. I use creative design using the latest software applications, Adobe In Design, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator on a Mac (silicon M1 transiting over from intel-based Macs a while ago). I have been using the Adobe software suite in some capacity for over 25 years, even when in design, it was called Pagemaker. You can use a PC, but I find the Mac platform better for pre-press and print. My printing service in Belfast includes a quick pre-press check and audit before printing, even though you need to have artwork ready.

I provide printing services in Belfast City Centre for any commercial print project for any business. All jobs are sent out by courier and I can provide tracking information, but should be sent out the next day. As well as lots of other printing needs too.

    Including specifications, quantity, weight of paper or card

Design and Print

I’m a graphic designer and commercial printer in Portadown, Craigavon, serving NI and Belfast, and you can find me by clicking the map below. All printing is delivered to you by courier, so you don’t need to worry about collecting. Send me an email, text, WhatsApp, or phone me, or if you want, we can meet at a location of your choosing.

Depending on size and quantity, I can print A4 documents. If there are a few documents, you are much better off emailing me or using WhatsApp, as printing can take a while. If in doubt, contact me. I don’t use a team but prefer to work solo, so you will be working with me on your printing as I offer plenty of expertise.

Experience

I graduated with a BA Hons Visual Communications at Ulster University and realised fairly quickly I learned nothing practical about the real world, to be honest, the Art College in York Street was dreadful, sorry if I offended you, though, but the truth is the truth. The first year was great, but after that, it just fell apart. Perhaps a year’s placement might have been good, but I doubt it. I also completed the BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design this was more art-based with far less practical real-world experience than UU.

I am studio-based (appointments only) but can meet you at your location or business address anywhere in NI. Most communication is through email, so please feel free to email me any enquiries you have.

If any clients want to call out, that’s fine, but appointments only, thank you. Just click on the map above and input your location.

Graphic Design Belfast and Northern Ireland

I have worked in graphic design in Northern Ireland for over 20 years in various pre-press offices and studios, building up an impressive portfolio of commercial print and working on various projects for clients and customers as I work in graphics. Look through the print section on my website for previous best work, and for any enquiries, don’t hesitate to contact me. Graphic design is visual communication, and I am communicating the message of your brand identity, product or advertising campaign through print. Brand identity is important for your business as your company or even if you are self-employed, represent yourself to the public.

This is your first impression, and as the saying goes, first impressions last! I use full design software for the advertisement design process and graphic design. If you want to outsource or need creativity, get in touch. I’ve worked in graphic design in my home town for many years. Are you looking for graphics for a project in town or the surrounding towns like Lurgan, Armagh and Craigavon? Contact me with more information, and I can send a quote.

Graphic Designer Belfast

I’ve also worked as a graphic designer in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for many years, and if you are looking for something in the city or the surrounding towns and cities, contact me with your specifications. I would hire professionals with experience because printing requires skills only experience will teach them. After all, some work can be quite expensive, and would you want someone designing your material who doesn’t know what they're doing?

Graphic Design Services

My graphic design services are fairly broad in print, so if you need any material quoted, contact me with specifications. I can work in vector graphics and am one of the best. Brands and businesses have contacted me in the past by filling out my contact form. Any artwork created you can use for a social media business page when full payment is received. The best way is to work online through WhatsApp or email.

Reviews

Fantastic experience: quick turnaround, communication and delivery at the busiest time of the year for a personal, small-scale project. Highly recommended.

What a legend. Came with an urgent matter, and with great respect, he was able to sort me out ASAP! Amazing service, amazing quality.

Great printed photographs in our village printing, which he does superbly every year. The print comes out beautiful and strong. Very good price, is easy to work with, and works with you on design. I would highly recommend him. Louise

Photo Printing

I offer a service for photo printing in Belfast and Portadown and within driving distance. If located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, your photo prints can easily be posted out. Your images can be emailed online with instructions, and I will send you a quote. This is great to get those memories alive instead of just storing your photos on the web. It would also be great for older people who are not online and might appreciate printed photos more. Printing pictures is a craft in itself!

I can print photos onto paper stock, including semi-gloss, matt, and gloss up to 190gm and from any size up to A3. I can print larger, too; it just might take a bit of extra time. Contact me at the print shop in Portadown with more information on your printing.

Why Photos can be expensive to Print?

This is most likely the highest quality of print and paper used for photo prints. A good quality photo printer can be expensive to buy, and good quality paper can also be expensive to purchase therefore, the total cost is a little expensive. I think my prices are affordable and are not expensive.

Prices

  • 1 A4 £15

  • 2 A4 £25

  • 1 A3 £25

  • 2 A3 £45

Experience

I have worked in several printers outside and Portadown, too, including Eakin Ltd (called Graceland Print at the time) in Carn Industrial Estate, Portadown, Peninsula Print in Newtownards, Tudor Journals in Belfast, Dataplus Print and Design in Dunmurry, Antrim Printers and Summit Printers in Lisburn. Unfortunately, most of these commercial printers are now closed. You can learn more about my work experience by visiting my LinkedIn profile.
