Established in 1990, APD COLOUR PRINT & DESIGN is owned and run by the Davies family.
The Company was started by Mr. Alan Peter Davies, a well-known local figure in printing circles.
APD COLOUR PRINT & DESIGN soon established a very good reputation as quality sheet-fed litho printers, whose clients include many local and national brands.
APD COLOUR PRINT & DESIGN have moved to larger premises and introduced another 5 Colour B2 press to compliment the existing one. This enables great flexibility to deliver on time, every time. With further investment in the pre-press area (Highwater Python Violet Diode Plate-setter), artwork can be plated directly from disk (computer-to-plate).
In addition APD COLOUR PRINT & DESIGN offer full in-house finishing including: die-cutting, folding, gather/stitching and trimming services. APD COLOUR PRINT & DESIGN prides itself on achieving very high standards of work with flexible, quick response printing.
