There were lots of thing we didn’t love about 2023 – rising paper prices, huge hikes in energy cost, creeping increases on all of our essential materials…. but in and amongst all of that there were things that we did love.
Number one big love is for our customers. Yes, I know that everyone says that but we actually mean it. We have some customers that have been with us on our journey since we first launched our website in 2006 (big kudos for sticking with us!) and some that have become regulars over the intervening years. Frankly, we would not be here without you and we wouldn’t want to be.
Second on the list is our totally fabulous employees. We love them so much we gave the business to them! They are loyal, funny, hardworking, dedicated, experienced and involved. They handle every piece of print that goes through our factory and are the engine that makes all of your products. ALP is powered by people!
New products and new kit. Most favourite products of the year are anything that has been die-cut with our new flatbed digital cutter. The range of products we can offer cut to shape simply and quickly is limitless – from light packaging, shaped cards and stickers, invitations, folders etc.
Set us a challenge to make something cut to shape and we’ll see what this splendid piece of kit can really do!
What to look forward to in 2024…. Our new in-house digital foiling! We’ve given it a few good dry runs and once we’ve figured out how to sell it on the website we’re off and running! In the meantime, if you fancy something shiny get in touch and we can take it from there
