Happy Tenth Birthday
On December 1st 2012 Print Revolution celebrated its 10th birthday.
“It’s a fabulous milestone to reach” said company Chairman Peter Harrington. “From very humble beginnings, it’s incredible to see what the team has achieved in ten years. Back when Print Revolution first started there were very few customers. Today, word of mouth is so strong, work just keeps on coming through the door which says so much for the professionalism, talent and commitment of the team.”
Phaser Set to Stun
A desire for continuous innovation and enterprise means the next generation of technology is never far from the factory floor at Print Revolution.
Taking delivery of the very latest Xerox Phaser machinery, company director Peter Harrington said he was delighted with the investment. The printer guarantees even higher levels of full colour quality control and service turnaround for clients.
“This may not be the final frontier, but compared to print machines available when the company started in 2002, the Phaser practically has warp speed,” added Peter with a beaming smile.
Monster Print for Monster Trucks
Print Revolution is delighted to support the mammoth ‘Hillhead’ event which is once again taking place in Buxton. Hiilhead 2012 is one of the world’s largest events in the construction calendar.
“We have been supplying print and design to Hillhead since 2003” said director Adrian Collier. “And it’s great to see the team at Print Revolution come together to ensure that all the required materials, leaflets, booklets and signs are provided to time and budget.”
Hillhead 2012 takes place from the 19th – 21st June at Hillhead in Buxton. Hundreds of exhibitors, thousands of people and a titanic tonnage of ‘toys for men’ will make the event a sell-out success.

Tickled Pink by Pickle Performance
Bob Pitchfork, owner of ‘Mr Pitchfork’s Pickles’, asked Print Revolution to rebrand his award-winning handmade relishes, pickles and preserves. He asked Diane, our commercial manager and graphic designer, to revamp his existing corporate identity. The brief was to create a new design for all of his labels.
Bob enthused, “Sales have increased by 31% due to the fact we rebranded our entire range of products. I found working with Print Revolution both an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Print Revolution has certainly helped my small cottage business move forward and I will be working with them in the New Year as my business expands.”
