Winter welcome...!

It's dangerously close and it's cold, thats right, winter is knocking on the door! Apart from the obvious climate drop we are still committed to giving you a warm experience when dealing with us. Sure things can slow down a bit over winter but it shouldn't change the level of service you experience. One of the areas we have been focusing on in the last few weeks is improving on the little stuff. This can be items such as the way we package your goods through to how well we communicate with you during the production process. We are always looking to improve so I would appreciate any feedback you may have (good & bad) regarding how we can make your dealings with us easier and stressfree. All feedback goes into a draw for a dinner to the value of $50 at Spagalimis on Victoria Street here in Christchurch. Sorry to you out of towners but we will find something suitable for you in your local area if you are the lucky winner! Contact mark@screenconcepts.co.nz

Promo Printing...

We are constantly building our experience and variety on our pad printing machine and with that in mind there was 2 items I wanted to point out. With this in mind PROMO PRINTING is what we will now call this particular area. We were finding that we were getting too many enquiries from people wanting us to print 'note pads' due to the industry name being used of pad printing. Promo printing will cover all products that we print within our 'pad printing' area. Secondly we are hoping to appoint a person into a full time promo printing role. We have 2 options available, the first being looking for an experienced person or secondly bringing on a new candidate to put them through the newly created pad printing apprenticeship scheme. Watch this space for more information soon....

A great cause!

In February we were approached by a crazy man wanting to ride 1000kms on a bike and would we help out! For any of you that know Scotty Brown you will understand that it takes a very 'special' person to not only train for this sort of challenge but to remain motivated and upbeat at the same time. Scotty is definetely that type of person. His plan was to ride from Governors Bay (near Christchurch) to Marlborough and then compete in the Grape Ride which is a 101km race. To hit the magical 1000km mark he had to do 3 laps of this race also and all of this took place over a 3 day period with only 10 hours sleep! All for a good cause though, as he was raising funds for the Cholmondeley kids home. The way we supported this was by supplying and printing T-shirts to enable him to sell at his final fundraising event which I believe worked very well! For more information on the amount raised and the effort it took, go to www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/scottybrown/
