Multiprint

What Multiprint does

Multiprint UK is a custom clothing and personalised merchandise printing company headquartered at 1 Townend St, Walsall, UK, operating as a subsidiary of the family-owned Walsall Leather Company Limited (Stephens family, ownership since 1928) and tracing its business lineage back to 1883, with the Multiprint brand itself established in 1989. The company delivers four core in-house production capabilities — embroidery, heat seal printing, screen printing, and sublimation — applied to apparel (t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, softshell jackets, gilets, tunics, NATO jumpers, combat trousers, jogging bottoms) and to non-apparel merchandise (trophies, crystalware, medals, mugs, pens, umbrellas, golf products, mouse mats) along with safety items such as CE-certified spectacles and steel toecap boots.

The business serves a diversified customer mix: corporate entities (e.g., Asda, ADT Fire and Security) requiring branded workwear and merchandise; educational institutions (notably Walsall College, with multi-course uniform programs spanning Early Years, Venue Theatre, Health & Social Care, Advanced Construction, Aviation, Travel & Tourism, Protective Services, Acting & Dance, Media, and Automotive, plus TS Sutton Coldfield Cadets); armed forces and public-sector bodies (including the British Army); sports clubs; and general consumers seeking personalised gifts and event merchandise.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based sales rather than subscriptions. Distribution runs through a Wix-hosted e-commerce storefront (multiprintuk.com), direct phone/email quote capture for corporate bulk work, free local delivery across the Walsall/West Midlands area, and nationwide UK shipping. Per-unit pricing for listed items ranges from £2.95 to £30.00, while corporate and bulk screen-printing/embroidery contracts are quote-based; no public revenue, headcount growth, or capital structure disclosures are available.
