About trade-ncr.co.uk

Caralan Printers

The trade-ncr.co.uk website is an online trading style of Caralan Printers.
We use this domain to offer our NCR and Litho Printing services exclusively to trade customers.
We are a small family concern based in Yorkshire, established in 1986 as a Trade Printer.
We have survived longer than most in this tough sector because we are honest and reliable, we are good at what we do and we deliver genuine value for money.
Though the print landscape has changed massively since 1986, trade print still remains the core of our business.
We operate industrial grade printing and finishing equipment with high levels of automation. However every job is still produced by people who care about their work - and this will always be the case.

We are a B3 Colour Litho Printer.
In 2019, as our market and customer needs evolved, we took the decision to downsize from B2 to B3.
We are now very agile and flexible for short to medium run jobs, ie the point where digital has maxed out but large sheet litho is still too expensive.
Consequently we are usually offering litho quality for less than the price of digital.

As a trade printer we depend on repeat business and so quality control is a major priority for us. We operate a team environment where we all check each others work. The result is that customer complaints and reprints are almost unheard of.
Everyone makes mistakes, but our mistakes will almost never reach your customer - we will bin a job and start again rather than send it out sub-standard.
Materials quality is also a strong factor in customer satisfaction.
We only buy from major suppliers and we don't use clearance stock to cut costs.
We believe that spending slightly more to have no problems is better for our customers and works out cheaper in the end.
