What Inprint Litho does

Inprint Litho, trading as Inprint Group, is a UK-based commercial printing company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Southampton. The company operates a horizontal print platform spanning lithographic (offset), digital, and large format printing technologies, supplemented by in-house design services, direct mail, and variable data printing. It offers more than 250 print products across signage and display, banners and flags, packaging, stationery, marketing collateral, and point of sale categories, and has recently extended into workflow software via a Marketing Builder tool.

The business runs its Southampton production facilities 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, and distributes UK-wide with free mainland delivery. Commercial order capture is dominated by the Better Printing e-commerce storefront, which provides instant online pricing across the catalog and a self-serve path for SMB customers; an enterprise overlay (phone 023 8077 1197, email [email protected]) handles larger custom projects. The company has built a portfolio of dedicated product brand microsites (raffle-tickets.co.uk, charitycheques.co.uk, healthandsafetysigns.co.uk) to capture long-tail search demand.

Revenue is generated through transactional one-time print orders, add-on design services, and direct mail campaigns. Inprint is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds. No headcount, revenue, or leadership team information is publicly disclosed, and the company does not present AI/ML capabilities, patents, regulatory certifications, or third-party awards in the available materials.
