Inprint Ltd History

Inprint  A Brief Historical Perspective

From its inception as a family business in 1963, Inprint’s technical excellence coupled with its ability to solve problems has enabled the development of solutions to customer requirements that, even today, continue to be the basis for the leaflet label industry. The original Extended Text™ labels were introduced in the early 70’s and, following progressive evolutionary development, still provide the foundation that enables Inprint to successfully service its growing customer base.

Accordingly, for over 30 years Inprint have led the world in the development of Extended Text™ leaflet labels.  We are dedicated to marrying innovative labels with proven solutions that meet the packaging and label needs of our customers around the world. We therefore ensure that all Extended Text™ labels are manufactured on automated machinery purpose-designed and built by Inprint to ensure the high standards of integrity and quality necessary for use with high speed automatic labelling applicators.

With manufacturing plants in the UK, Holland, Italy and the USA all approved to ISO 9001:2000, Inprint prides itself on the totally integrated nature of its production capability. Given this number of sites, production can be shared to minimise total production time, carried out closest to a customer’s premises to improve communication and minimise delivery time and cost, or any combination for the most cost-effective solution. This flexibility leads to the very significant benefit that a product produced at one location can be easily transferred to another - a major side benefit of this being that in the event of a major catastrophe, the customer will suffer far less than if they were dealing with an isolated plant.

Having developed the industry standard solution for Agrochemical customers, it was logical that Inprint develop its expertise to satisfy the needs of the Pharmaceutical industry for aesthetically pleasing, accurate labelling solutions that cover both complex data and multiple languages. So successful has this development been that Pharmaceutical customers now account for some 50% of sales – a not insignificant statistic when one realises that Pharmaceutical sales, once achieved, develop an annuity type profile - and all Extended Text™ leaflet labels for the Pharmaceutical industry are manufactured in areas appropriate to Pharmaceutical production.

Inprint, under the control of a new management team appointed in October 2002, are committed to maintaining and strengthening their position as a world leader in the field of Extended Text™ labels. Researching and developing tomorrow’s products and manufacturing processes is only one of the ways in which we ensure the high level of excellence demanded by our customers.
