What PrintLab does

Print Lab Pte Ltd (PrintLab) is a Singapore-based B2B print agency that delivers end-to-end print, design, fabrication, and installation services to enterprise clients across luxury, FMCG, banking, hospitality, automotive, telecommunications, retail, and government sectors. Formed in August 2014 through the merger of three print industry players — Alliance Graphics (security printing and offset), Concept Print (luxury accounts), and the original Print Lab (large-format printing, founded circa 2007) — the company positions itself as Singapore's first and only print agency, operating from a 35,000 sq ft facility at 25 Ubi Road 4 housing more than 35 state-of-the-art machines, including the only 5-meter UV printer in Singapore, supported by a 100+ person workforce.

The company's technology stack centers on large-format UV printing, offset printing (minimum 8-colour), digital signage hardware (LED media walls, LCD screens, interactive media co-developed with South Korean engineers), and a set of proprietary materials and systems not available elsewhere in Singapore, including DARTS programmable LED lightboxes, Dream Backdrop reusable European cloth backdrops, reflective billboard substrates visible from 250 meters, security printing with transparent pass and hologram capabilities, and Viscosity Matrix heat-sensitive ink. Production is fully in-house, covering concept design (2D/3D), offset and digital printing, fabrication (carpentry, laser cutting, stage builds), and on-site installation by its own teams.

PrintLab generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven model across 11+ service lines including large-format printing, offset, POS displays, digital signage hardware and 24/7 technical support, signage, customised packaging, printables/corporate gifts, fabrication, print design, and special materials. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with appointed official print agency relationships anchoring major accounts (Unilever across all brands since August 2014; Audi exclusive partner since 2009), supplemented by referrals, award-driven PR, and a website portfolio. The company operates exclusively in Singapore under subsidiary Print Lab Pte Ltd, which is owned by Times Publishing Limited (Fraser & Neave group), with no public revenue disclosures.
