Who We Are
Pioneering a new way forward for printing. Welcome to St Austell Printing Company.
At St Austell Printing Company (SAPC), we’ve nurtured over 35 years of experience and expertise to develop an outstanding printing company. Cutting edge equipment, first class print knowledge and a committed and trustworthy team combine – ensuring you get exceptional service, tailored to your needs.
The company started as Kwik Print in 1981, a small, local high street photocopy shop in St Austell town centre. Over a period of 30 years, the company gradually evolved to become St Austell Printing Company and we increased our services and customer base until we had outgrown our old Victorian premises in the town.
The need for increased capacity and room to grow facilitated a new vision for the company. We had big aspirations and therefore we decided to embark on a new journey – one that would include designing and building our own unique factory to support a greener, leaner, brighter future for the company.
We moved in to our state of the art, sustainable building in 2013 and we have since seen the company move from strength to strength.
We saw a chance to give something back. A chance to help the local economy, and a new way to make a difference in business.
“My vision has been to construct the most sustainable, economical, high-quality building we can, with outstanding design and landscaping. Not a soulless industrial unit, but one with a heart. A place that is healthy, safe, productive and inspiring; a build we can all be proud of.”
Peter Moody, MD, SAPC
We see ourselves as a progressive, pro-active company and we value the benefits of consistent re-investment. Over the last few years we have continued to invest in new machinery, increased staff and improved systems and processes.
In particular, in the last four years we have invested in two new Heidelberg B2 litho presses, new Konica Minolta and Xerox digital presses, large format print machines, folding machines, guillotines and playing card finishing equipment.
Having acquired a fulfilment and mailing house, we now provide this service in-house and we continue to invest in this service which offers flexible fulfilment solutions and efficient data management and mailing services.
We have upgraded our systems and software ensuring that we have the latest pre-press software to support the highest quality pre-flight and colour management systems.
We have also developed our print management system and new web-to-print solutions to support improved customer service.
