endlesspossibilities
We strive to be continually proactive in our design solutions. We think outside the box, go beyond the brief and present ideas that our clients might not have even considered across a wide range of print and signage collateral, including logo origination, leaflet and brochure design and much, much more!
We thrive in getting the most creative solution from an idea that someone has. We will take your idea/suggestion and bring it to light.
With over 60 years in this area of print we have helped hundreds of clients to achieve great results from great design.
We love nothing more than taking a brief, bringing it to life, as well as suggesting other ways that may work better or offer ideas you may not of thought of.
With us having our own in-house printing and signage equipment we are able to test ideas, create ‘mock ups’ of our ideas and present them to you before the final production.

Understanding that print is not just about putting ink on paper but also includes an eye for detail, competitive pricing structures and exceptional customer service.
At Shadow Design we supply high quality digital and litho print. Our aim is to offer clients affordable yet high quality print to market and promote their products.
With over 60 years experience in the print industry we know how to get the most out of your printing collateral.
We specialise in two types of printing Digital and Litho. Our in-house digital printing enables quick, short runs to either test a new marketing idea or simply get a message out quickly.
Technology in this area is improving year on year, with some print, you would be forgiven in thinking that litho printing was used instead. Digital printing, to a point, has a lower cost compared to litho as there is no plate cost or setup charge.
Litho printing is used for higher volume items and produces better colour and quality production compared to digital printing. With new technologies such as UV drying, litho printing can still be produced in days rather than weeks.
We design for print but can also deal with supplied print ready artwork.
​
WE PRINT YOUR ARTWORK
Working within the print industry we have had to deal with all types of supplied files. We automatically check your supplied files and make sure they are correct for print.
If not we suggest and advise what needs to be done so you get the best results from your supplied artwork. In some cases we can adjust your files speeding up printing and delivery time.
Check out our ‘Advice’ Section for help on setting up artwork for print. New subjects will be added over time.
