Our client base
Our current client base on the craft side extends to blue chip, household and High St names. Due to client confidentiality we can’t reveal who they are but you will have seen our products on shelves in well known shops and even on TV.
Our printing side also works with high profile clients including the production of pricing tickets and advertising literature, once again modesty and client confidentiality prevents us from using their names to promote Papercraft.
Our promise to you
Our aim is to offer first class products and a personal service that achieves total customer satisfaction. No job is too small if you have a particular requirement not illustrated on the web site relating to card envelopes paper or print then don’t hesitate to contact whereupon I will give the matter my immediate attention. Our aim is to please.
Thanks for the interest shown in Papercraft and I hope that we can be of some assistance to you in the future.
Keep smiling - we do
