Printroom Group

What Printroom Group does

Printroom Group is a UK-based commercial printing agency, legally Bracknell Printroom Limited, founded in 1977 and operating across four production sites in Bracknell (headquarters), Camberley, Reading, and Henley-on-Thames. The company employs over 40 staff and runs a vertically integrated operation in which approximately 90% of work is produced in-house, spanning graphic design, digital printing on Canon VarioPrint presses, lithographic printing for longer runs, HP large-format inkjet, in-house finishing (binding, laminating, cutting, assembly), fulfilment, and worldwide distribution. Its product portfolio covers standard commercial print (business cards, brochures, flyers, stationery, posters, books, manuals, envelopes, labels), large-format signage and office branding (window, wall, and floor graphics), specialist hybrid print-digital offerings (NFC-tagged print, augmented reality print, and video brochures), and sector-specific solutions for football clubs, gyms, nightclubs, restaurants, retail, schools, weddings, and funerals.

Printroom serves a hybrid customer base anchored by blue-chip enterprise accounts including Dell, Oracle, HP, Fujitsu, BMW, Zurich Insurance, Pandora, Krispy Kreme, Avis, and NHS, alongside small businesses, public sector, education, and consumer/event customers. Revenue is generated through one-off commercial print orders, managed print services contracts (including management of clients' in-house reprographic units), subscription-based access to its Print Online Portal (POP) for multi-site brand-compliant ordering, and transaction-based fulfilment, pick-and-pack, and mail services. Distribution is supported by an own van fleet for south-east England same/next-day delivery and a tracked courier network for international shipments. The company is privately held, independently operated, and FSC-accredited and GDPR-compliant, with no disclosed external funding and stable long-term ownership.

• Printed.com: Printed.com is a UK online printer focused on short-run commercial print for businesses and creatives. Comparable to Printroom's digital print offering, online ordering, and SME customer segment, though Pureprint is more retail/self-serve versus Printroom's enterprise mix.

Closely comparable to Printroom's web-to-print philosophy and broad commercial print portfolio, but at far larger scale and technology-driven.
