Reflex Print

What Reflex Print does

Reflex Print is a UK-based commercial printing company headquartered in Burton upon Trent, England, operating an e-commerce platform serving small and medium businesses, event organisers, property and construction firms, schools, charities, and individual consumers across the United Kingdom. Founded by Gary circa 1999 and building on the John Mackie Printers heritage from the 1970s, the company runs a one-stop print shop with an 8-person in-house team covering design, production, finishing, and accounts.

The product portfolio spans core commercial print (business cards, flyers, leaflets, booklets, NCR forms, stationery, labels), large-format display (PVC banners, roller banners, posters, Correx, Foamex and aluminium signage, flags, tablecloths, plan printing, strut cards), and promotional merchandise (branded pens, notebooks, lanyards, car air fresheners). Production combines offset and digital printing with newly invested large-format and embroidery equipment, and the firm offers textured printing as a premium finishing technique. The e-commerce storefront is powered by the Online Print Solution web-to-print platform, with payments handled by Stripe and fulfilment shipped via DPD, DHL, and Royal Mail, supplemented by click-and-collect at the Burton upon Trent facility.

The business model is transaction-driven: pay-as-you-go unit pricing on every SKU with upfront payment, bespoke quotes for larger or non-standard orders, and an optional in-house design service billed separately. Go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the website, with phone and email support, content marketing through a blog, and local SEO targeting the Burton-upon-Trent catchment. Customer segments are diversified across SMBs, events, property/construction, and individuals, and the firm explicitly targets trade shows and exhibitions as a demand vertical.
