Powder Arts Thermography Warehouse

What Powder Arts Thermography Warehouse does

Powder Arts Thermography Warehouse Ltd is a privately held UK-based distributor specializing in thermography and embossing powders, operating from Caslon House, St Albans. The company serves as the exclusive worldwide distributor for two leading manufacturers: Caslon (supplying printers since 1720 and specializing in thermography machines and powders since 1920, including SupaFlow powders produced in the UK since 1970) and Faust (the world's largest manufacturer of thermography powders). Its product catalogue covers Caslon and Faust thermography powders, thermographic varnish that increases ink tack, and specialized glitter products for thermography applications, all supplied in recyclable commercial packaging ranging from 0.5 kilo to 25 kilo boxes.

The business targets commercial printers and designers who use thermography to add texture and a glossy raised finish to letterheads, business cards, greetings cards, wrapping paper, paper bags, sales brochures, product packaging, and Braille applications. Technical support is positioned as a core offering, with staff combining more than 250 years of thermography experience supplemented by Faust's 75 years of combined resin and process expertise, addressing the growing complexity of specialized and adventurous design applications.

Powder Arts runs a direct distribution model with worldwide reach from its UK headquarters, supported by a content-driven website featuring a thermographic gallery and downloadable PDF guides. Pricing is unit-based on packaging size, billed on a pay-as-you-go cadence, with no public pricing disclosure. Revenue mechanics rest entirely on the resale of partner-manufactured powders and adjacent consumables, making the exclusive Caslon and Faust distribution rights the central economic asset of the business.
