H&A Print

What H&A Print does

H&A Print is a privately held commercial print shop headquartered in Whanganui, New Zealand, operating continuously since 1923 under successive local owners. The company serves individuals, small and medium businesses, artists, self-publishers, community organizations, and builders across the Whanganui, South Taranaki, Rangitīkei, and Manawatū regions, with nationwide courier reach for orders outside the primary footprint. Core offerings span Everyday Printing (self-published books, DIY prints, copy shop services, fine art prints, greeting cards, and design support) and Business Printing (business cards, labels and packaging, posters and signage, banners and flags, plans and technical printing, and promotional items), supplemented by niche products such as the Approved Code of Practice forestry booklet.

Underlying technology is traditional and digital offset printing combined with in-house finishing (guillotine cutting, wiro and comb binding, laminating, and scanning), with file intake via email, WeTransfer, and an online contact form. The company accepts standard design-tool outputs (PDF, PNG, JPG, TIF, AI, EPS) and provides in-house design assistance for customers using Canva, Affinity, and similar tools, with a human file-check prior to every job as a stated quality control practice.

The business model is transaction-based print services with quote-based pricing across most SKUs and published unit pricing on greeting cards (with volume discounts ranging from $0.90 to $2.90 per card depending on stock, sides, and quantity). There is no online ordering system, no subscription or recurring revenue line, and no minimum order size; large or custom jobs may require upfront deposit or full payment. Customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth, local advertising (radio, newspaper), community sponsorships, organic social, and SEO. The company is co-owned by Hinemoa Boyd and Eric Hallett following a succession plan, with roughly 11 staff including owner, administrators, copy shop staff, prepress, digital, finishing, press, and guillotine operators, plus a Marton customer support presence. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
