What Hatch does

Hatch Print is a UK-based custom commercial printing company operated by London Horizons Limited (Companies House number 03422748), founded in 2018 and headquartered in Benfleet with a retail showroom at 138 London Rd, Westcliff-on-Sea. The company produces custom-printed business cards, flyers, leaflets, banners, posters, stationery, stickers, booklets, signage, and promotional items, with a differentiating emphasis on sustainable materials — most notably seeded plantable paper embedded with wildflower seeds (introduced 2018), FSC-certified and recycled stocks, PVC-free banners, and water-based inks. Its product portfolio is organized into four sub-brands: Hatch Green (eco-friendly range), Hatch Design (professional design services), Hatch Premium (B2B membership), and Hatch Express (next-day delivery service).

The business runs a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve e-commerce (customers upload artwork and order online), a physical retail showroom for material consultation and order collection, and phone/email/WhatsApp sales support. Pricing is primarily transactional pay-as-you-go at unit levels (e.g., business cards from £6.35, flyers from £27, sample packs from £0.99), supplemented by subscription-based Hatch Premium membership for B2B bulk accounts and one-off project fees for design services (logos from £29.99, branding from £99, web design from £129). Customer segments span SMBs, enterprise/professional businesses, designers/agencies, and individual consumers, with distribution limited to UK addresses.

Customer footprint signals are modest: 4.2 stars across 142 Google reviews, 1–10 employees, no external funding or institutional ownership disclosed, and a single physical location. The company is UK-only with no international shipping and no disclosed revenue. Recent strategic activity has focused on building sub-brand depth (Hatch Green, Design, Premium, Express) and a November 2025 Yelp integration for AI-assisted lead handling, rather than geographic or scale expansion.

• Solopress: UK online print company offering business cards, flyers, banners and stationery with next-day and custom print options. Overlaps Hatch directly on product range, target market and turnaround-led value proposition.
