Print Print performs a communication role that tablets, e-readers and smartphones cannot even begin to emulate
Fact - Digital printing has redefined the way that communication professionals can focus on their audience. Variable creative personalisation, cross-media applications and other innovative solutions now work collaboratively to deliver printed products that liberate relevant messaging, while delivering on the established parameters for substrate and print quality. PURL, web-to-print or even our variable data response marketing solutions may be relevant to you, particularly with the advent of digitally printed direct mail and its fit within our ‘greener’ print world. With 21 experienced professionals, the very latest HP Indigo print engines and a full suite of cross-media software, I believe you can be confident in our ability to perform. From fine print to QR code, from html to PUR bind and from data to die cut, CCG are equipped to accomplish.
This book provides a short summary of just a few of our case studies and demonstrates “in the words of the customer” that we delivered on each and every one. So heads-up, the digital printing revolution has unleashed a whole new palette of communication possibilities on the agency, retail, and corporate communities. I hope this book serves to inspire you.

To ensure brand consistency across many characters and icons, MTV require high quality, impact-heavy, ‘coffee table’ Style Guides. Given the relatively high page count but small finished quantity of these items, traditional lithographic print is not a cost effective option, even though it is a valid option for producing the high quality and vibrancy required.

Grandparents Plus is a leading and respected national charity which champions the vital role of grandparents and the wider family in children’s lives – especially when they take on the caring role in difficult family circumstances. GP require printed communications that have Impact and associated quality in order to increase their audience capture, but this has to be within a pricing bandwidth associated with their charitable status. In addition, more often than not, material has to be produced within very tight deadlines.
“Concept Communications has always provided a very professional, efficient and reliable service. They are happy to talk through our print jobs, offer advice and never fail to produce high quality materials. Our print jobs can have very tight deadlines and they have never let us down, often managing to deliver ahead of schedule – which is very much appreciated.” Alison Blaxland Manager, The Grandparents Plus Support Network

Touch Creative’s client required a patient diary to help patients record their symptoms and treatment adherence.

From start to finish this project ran smoothly. The quality finish Concept provided is also vitally important as it directly reflects our client’s brand. Concept advised us throughout and always kept an eye on the quality. For Touch, it’s the perfect partnership where creative and print collaborate together for the best solution. ” Vonig Watson, Touch Creative Design Creative Director
