G P Print

What G P Print does

GP Print Ltd (also trading as Greater Peterborough Print) is a family-run commercial printing business founded around 1992 in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, UK. The company is owned and operated by directors Peter Martyr and Tabitha Martyr, supported by a small production team led by a Production Manager with 30+ years of industry experience and an accounts handler. It operates from a single facility at 8 Challenger Way, Edgerley Business Park, Peterborough PE1 5EX, combining a physical storefront with an e-commerce website offering instant online quotes, a fixed-price Quick Shop for standard items, and a custom quote request channel.

The core offering is bespoke commercial printing spanning business stationery, marketing collateral, packaging, signage and displays, wedding stationery, and garment decoration. Production capability is built on lithographic and digital printing infrastructure including a Xerox Versant 4100 digital press (2400x2400 dpi, up to 400gsm duplex) with XLS Feeder for long sheets and envelope printing, a Versant 2100, Epson large-format printers, and DTF transfer printing for garments. Finishing capability was significantly expanded in 2022 with the addition of a Duplo DC-646 cutter/slitter/creaser/perforator, a Duplo DBM 350 digital booklet system, a BLADE automated cutting machine, and a Matrix Metallic laminator with Omni-flow feeder enabling foiling and spot UV finishes.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based bespoke print orders priced by quantity, size, materials and finishing options, supplemented by fixed-price Quick Shop transactions, unit-priced design services (£25-£300 per page or per logo tier), pay-as-you-go DTF garment printing with no minimum order, sale of plain garments and consumables, and finishing add-ons. The customer base is fragmented across multiple SMB verticals, including tradespeople (electricians), hair and beauty businesses, estate agents, gardeners and landscapers, and wedding services, with marketing conducted through content marketing, email newsletters, local SEO, online reviews (Trustpilot, Google), and community events. The company has no external institutional funding and is bootstrapped.
