What Pressision, Creative Print & Packaging does

Pressision, founded in 2003 and headquartered at a single production facility on Armley Road in Leeds, is a privately held specialist manufacturer of luxury creative print and bespoke packaging. The company operates a fully in-house production stack built around Komori B2 sheetfed lithographic presses with H-UV/LED curing, HP Indigo B3 sheetfed digital printing, and comprehensive embellishment equipment including CNC-engraved brass dies for hot foil blocking, embossing, debossing, spot UV, laser cutting, die cutting, and edge gilding, alongside structural packaging lines producing rigid boxes, V-cut cartons, and corner-stapled packaging. A proprietary Ultra Stochastic (FM) screening process, integrated into lithographic production since 2014, plus Living Ink — a carbon-negative algae-based black ink — function as core technical differentiators.

The business is structured as a custom project-based manufacturer with no minimum order quantities and quote-based pricing honouring agreed budgets unless specifications change. Revenue is generated across four streams: custom creative print services (luxury brochures, books, art books, magazines, business cards, swing tags, invitations), luxury packaging manufacturing (rigid boxes, influencer boxes, shipping packages, retail bags), embellishment services (foil, emboss, spot UV, lamination), and binding services (case binding, perfect PUR, lay-flat, OTA, saddle stitch, naked binding, singer sewing). Go-to-market is exclusively direct, executed by an account management team (Account Director Sarah Bloor, Account Manager Freya Kilpatrick) serving design agencies, advertising agencies (Saatchi & Saatchi, Wieden + Kennedy), and brands directly.

Pressision's named customer base spans globally recognised enterprise logos — Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro, EA Sports, McLaren Formula 1 Team, Augustinus Bader, Ffern, Cubitts, Cath Kidston, Pragnell, GF Smith, Fedrigoni, and Quaker — alongside mid-market design studios (Office of Craig Oldham, Split Design, Rose & Grey, Laura Thomas Co., Mad About Skin). The company operates with approximately 10 employees, holds FSC paper certification, balances 100% of carbon emissions through the World Land Trust, is pursuing B Corp certification, and runs a UK-only operating geography. Legal entity is Pressision Limited, a private limited company with no disclosed external funding or parent ownership.
