Can you print our own design?

Yes. Send us a print-ready PDF, or working files from InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, and our pre-press studio will check your artwork before anything prints. If you need a design from scratch, our graphic design studio can help.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. Every project is bespoke, and the HP Indigo 7900 makes short-run printing economical, so ten cards are as workable as five thousand. Digital is usually the right option up to around 500 copies; litho takes over above that.

Can our Christmas print be recycled?

Almost all of it. We can print your Christmas products on recycled or FSC® certified stocks, in coated and uncoated finishes, and paper-based wrap, tags and packaging recycle readily. If recyclability matters to your brand, tell us at the quotation stage and we will recommend the right stock.

Christmas Printing Festive Print for Your Business, Sustainably Produced in the UK

Name: Christmas Print
Brand: Ashley House
Rating: 4.7 (41 reviews)

From corporate Christmas cards and calendars to branded gift wrap, menus and packaging, we produce the printed products your business needs for the Christmas season under one roof from our factory in Exeter, Devon.

Short-run printing goes on our HP Indigo 7900 digital press, larger quantities run on our Heidelberg litho presses, and finishing is handled by our own in-house bindery.

Every project is bespoke and priced individually. If you need help planning and designing your Christmas printing, rather than picking from a list of standard options online, send us your specification and our friendly team will be happy to assist you.

Printed products for Christmas

Most orders we receive combine two or three items that complement each other. Cards and a calendar for clients, wrap and tags for retail, menus and banners for a busy season of hospitality service.

Ordering them together at Ashley House means one supplier, one delivery and one set of eco-credentials we can apply to your marketing materials.

Every project is quoted on quantity, format, paper and finishing, whether it is printed merchandise for a festive campaign or a single run of menus. Therefore, we don’t have a published price list and provide bespoke quotes for each enquiry.

Corporate Christmas cards and calendars

A printed greetings card carries more sentiment than an email, and December is the month clients most appreciate receiving a card from you. It will keep your brand in view for the entire festive season.

Our cards print on FSC® certified stocks, with optional foiled, embossed or special finishes applied in our own bindery, and envelopes to match.

The full range of formats and finishes is on our corporate Christmas cards page.

A calendar keeps your brand on a client’s wall for twelve months, long after the decorations have come down. Both our wall and desk formats, wiro bound and finished in-house, are covered on our calendar printing page.

Branded gift wrap, wrapping paper and gift tags

Branded wrapping paper turns every parcel you send in December into a piece of marketing, whether you are wrapping customer orders, client gifts or hampers. We print it in flat sheets on FSC® certified papers, from a single sheet to large runs.

Personalised gift tags print on the same stocks, so the wrap, the tag and the card arrive as a set. Standard sheet sizes suit most gifts and hampers; bespoke sizes are available, so tell us what sizes you need and we can advise and quote accordingly.

Christmas packaging, labels and stickers

Seasonal packaging does not always need to be a box. A printed belly band, festive labels or printed tissue paper can dress the packaging you already have in stock, adding that extra festive warmth for your customers throughout December.

Short runs are economical on the HP Indigo 7900, so a Christmas-only design does not need a long-run quantity. See some of the retail and hospitality brands we work with here.

Christmas menus and hospitality print

The festive season requires unique, decorative print. We also print invitations, menus, drinks lists and table cards that shine through the busiest month of the year.

We can recommend an FSC® certified stock that suits the setting, laminated for longevity or uncoated for a single event. Our hospitality printing page covers options for the rest of the year.

Festive flyers, banners and event print

Christmas promotions, events, markets and late openings all need announcing early, so we advise preparing your print from as early as August. We manufacture flyers, leaflets, banners, signage and exhibition and display print suitable for any event.

Larger work, like window and wall graphics, is produced in our in-house large format printing department.

Christmas postcards and direct mail

A festive postcard delivered directly through your client’s letterbox makes your brand stand out from the barrage of marketing emails we all receive during the Christmas season.

We print postcards, folded mailers and the envelopes to carry them, and our direct mail team handles data, fulfilment and posting.

If your campaign has a strict delivery deadline, tell us and we will work the print schedule back from it to ensure your card arrives on the mat in time.

Eco-friendly festive print

We are a certified Carbon Balanced Printer through the World Land Trust, and we have printed on carbon balanced paper as standard since 2014, at no additional cost to our customers.

Every paper we use is FSC® certified, with recycled options in coated and uncoated, and our factory runs on 100% green energy with a zero landfill policy. We print with vegetable-based inks, and orders leave in plastic-free packaging.

If sustainability is part of your brand, your seasonal print can show it. The detail is on our eco-friendly printing page.

When to order your Christmas print

Demand builds from early October, with specialist finishes, foiling, binding and larger litho quantities all adding to the production timeline. The safest way to hit a December date is to order early. However, we deliver right up until the Christmas break.

Orders travel by DPD tracked delivery, nationwide, with larger orders on pallet delivery. If you’re unsure which option is right for your project, or your date is tight, give our friendly team a call on 01392 202320 and we will be happy to advise you.
