Welcome to another issue of "Screen Themes", an electronic newsletter that we produce on a regular basis to keep you advised on items of interest that we think may be of relevance to you and your company. If you have any queries at all in regard to something you have seen in this newsletter or require some general information please contact us on one of the numbers listed above or e-mail us at: mark@screenconcepts.co.nz.

 

Pad Printing (UPDATE!)

What a great machine! So far we have printed items such as pens, soccer balls, pocketknives, yo-yos, hard hats, metalwork panels and notepads. The range of product we can get a print onto is amazing and we haven't even scratched the surface of what this machine can do yet! The company we bought the machine through in Australia sent their account manager over last week to see how we were doing and was thoroughly impressed with the results we had achieved without any tuition whatsoever. We believe this pad printing service, coupled with our screen and newly developed digital service give us a unique one stop shop advantage over most of our competitors and we want to continue this point of difference through developing not only our print processes but our relationships as well. For information on what print service may be best suited to your product please contact Mark@screenconcepts.co.nz

 

Welcome back Mike..!

Mike Marra, that had worked for us for 7 years previously, has just returned from his 2 year OE in the UK. Mike was greatly missed when he left due to not only his printing skills but his 'unique' team spirit as well so we are grateful he has decided to return to NZ (with a new partner we might add!) and jump back into his original screen printing role. The photo to the right was one of Mikes model poses he did for us prior to leaving to help show off one of our 3M reflective products.

 

Digital Printing

As mentioned in the pad printing article we have developed our digital printing services so we can now offer short run/high resolution sticker and magnet options. We found that the screen printed option was perfect for larger volumes but we were uneconomical (due to the screen set up costs) on shorter runs. With this in mind the machine we are utilising can produce incredibly high resolution and has the ability to die cut almost any shape as part of the process as well. This service would suit anyone that requires a short run (50-300 units) of stickers or magnets or alternatively would like to produce a high resolution photographic image on one of these products. For more information of this newly created service please contact Mark or click here for more information.

We are on the move....

After 12 years located on the same site in Christchurch we have decided to move into a more usable space in Addington. This building, located in Clarence Street South will allow us to develop some areas of our business more effectively and give us the opportunity to improve our existing production flow. We won't be relocating until mid October so we will keep you posted re the new address and moving dates closer to the time....

 

Updated Performance Results....

Each time we publish a newsletter we want to use it as an opportunity to do a bit of obvious self promotion! With that in mind listed to the left is the results for the last month which shows our 'jobs completed on time' information. Basically what this tells us is how many jobs we are completing in the timeframe required by the client. This shows us we have had a 7% increase from the last report as we brought a new team member on board. How many other screen or pad printers do you know that can generate these sorts of results on a regular basis let alone have that information available at any time!?
