Web offset in Europe for UK Clients?
What works for web offset in Europe for UK clients? Since making the move to an Italian web offset company exporting into the rest of Europe (including UK) as well as dealing with the domestic market, I have had to change my mindset. The reason is that we have A) lower overheads, B) good paper prices bought in euros, and C) higher transport costs if we are exporting compared to, say, a UK web offset printer. This means that the package overall has to be right and when it is, we are very competitive. If its a 3 tonne job, unlikely - if it's a full truckload or more, then very much so. With 16, 32 and 64 page web presses, B1 sheetfed, perfect binding and stitching, we can definitely supply the right work at the right price and the right delivery time. The consolidation of UK web offset has meant that many UK clients have now started looking at Europe and been pleasantly surprised - give it a go and explore the options!
