Why Getting Your Bespoke Printed and Manufactured Christmas Orders in

Christmas might feel like a long way off, but for businesses ordering bespoke printed and manufactured products, now is the time to start planning.

Before you know it, Christmas will be just around the corner and as a UK manufacturer producing bespoke products, we need to plan ahead to make sure we can deliver your orders when you need them.

There are always factors outside of our control, from global supply chain issues and material availability to increased demand across the manufacturing industry. The best way to minimise the impact of these challenges is simple: get your orders in early.

Our printing and manufacturing capacity is limited, and bespoke products take time to produce. At the moment, our lead time for printed manufactured products is around 4–5 weeks.

Leaving your Christmas orders until the last minute could mean missing out on valuable selling time, particularly if you rely on your best-selling products during the festive season.

Keep your best-sellers in stock

Christmas is one of the most important selling periods of the year for many of our customers, so the last thing you want is your best-selling products out of stock just when customers are looking to buy.

Whether you're planning to restock your regular best-sellers or introduce a limited-edition festive collection, getting your requirements to us early gives us the time needed to produce everything to our usual high standard.

We don't mass-produce our products. Quality, careful craftsmanship and attention to detail are at the heart of what we do, and that naturally takes time.

Take the pressure out of the festive season

It's not just manufacturers who feel the pressure in the run-up to Christmas. Courier networks also become increasingly busy throughout the autumn, with the chaos of Black Friday and the Christmas shopping period putting extra pressure on deliveries.

Having your stock pre-booked and ready to go means one less thing to worry about when those busy selling months arrive.
Instead of chasing stock and worrying about lead times, you can concentrate on selling.

A reminder to all our print customers

We're particularly keen to hear from our existing print customers as early as possible. Bespoke printed kitchen collections are especially popular at Christmas, and the additional printing and manufacturing processes mean these orders need to be planned well in advance.

If you're considering Christmas designs, personalised collections or a special festive run, now is the perfect time to start talking to us.

We can manufacture a wide range of products, including:
  • Tea towels
  • Cushions in several sizes, with bespoke finishes
  • Aprons, including children's and waiter styles
  • Oven gloves
  • Hob covers
  • Snapper gauntlets
  • Flat bags with short or long handles in matching colours
  • Gusset bags with short or long handles in matching colours
  • Tablecloths
  • Napkins
  • Placemats
  • Coin purses
  • Pencil cases
  • Make-up bags
  • Wash bags
  • Pot bags
And if you have something specific in mind that isn't on the list, don't be afraid to ask. We are always happy to look at one-off and bespoke projects where we can.
