New services, new second location, same KNP ethos.
We’ve quietly been working on this behind the scenes, but now we can announce that in February we’ll be opening a brand-new 10,000 sq. ft. site offering print fulfilment and distribution services in Bury St. Edmunds, just round the corner from our main site. So now we offer you more inc. storage and pick ’n’ pack.
Whilst the building, the kit inside it and the services are all new, the thinking behind it isn’t. Customers who’ve trusted us to deliver their print for any length of time will know, we don’t add things for the sake of it. Every investment we make has to pass a simple but critical two step test:
- does this make life easier for our customers?
- does this help minimise our environmental impact?
So with this announcement you can be sure we’ve done our due diligence thinking and we’re confident this new investment will help your business and do it sustainably.
Why we’re doing it now.
We’re doing it for several reasons. To make sure we continue to give you the best possible customer experience, to make things as uncomplicated as you need them to be, and to offer you the most cost-effective service we can.
Over recent years we’ve seen more and more customers juggling multiple suppliers just to get a job over the line. One company for print. Another for storage. Someone else for fulfilment. A courier on top. Plenty of emails back and forth. Plenty of separate invoices and paperwork. Plenty of opportunities for things to slow down or go missing.
It works, until it doesn’t. And then it becomes a bit of a logistics nightmare to sort out for you, not so much for all the different suppliers you’re having to deal with.
So we’ve invested in a setup that brings everything together under one roof (ish). Print, finishing, storage, pick ‘n’ pack, and distribution, all managed by us. Giving you one supplier, one workflow, one point of contact.
Which hopefully should lead to one big sigh of relief.
What our new print fulfilment and distribution services in Bury St Edmunds mean for you.
With the new site live, your finished print can move straight from production into secure pallet storage without being loaded onto third-party transport or passed through extra hands (and hoops).
From there, our in-house team can handle order-based picking, packing and labelling, before despatching goods UK-wide (and further afield if that’s what you need).
The result? You get:
- Faster turnaround times
- Greater flexibility (including short-notice fulfilment)
- Fewer touchpoints and less admin
- Reduced handling, risk and cost
- One job invoice instead of several
And because it’s all managed by us, you also get greater visibility and tighter control.
A genuine benefit for existing and new customers.
For existing customers, this is about helping you simplifying what you need to get done. Offering new print fulfilment and distribution services in Bury St Edmunds means fewer moving parts, fewer suppliers to manage, and more confidence everything’s joined up properly from start to finish.
For new customers, if you’re looking for a single partner who can print, store, fulfil and distribute your print, we can now make that possible, which means you can lose some of that process complexity you’re probably dealing with currently.
It’s particularly valuable for brands managing multiple SKUs, ongoing campaigns, or regular nationwide distribution.
In short, we’ve designed our service offering around how customers actually operate, not how suppliers traditionally split things up.
Sustainability stays front and centre.
And with the new facility, our approach to sustainability hasn’t changed one bit.
The building will feature solar panels on the roof, LED lighting throughout, air source heat pumps for heating, and we’re using electric forklift trucks on site. If you know us, you know we’re committed to sustainability, and these choices are about continuing to run a more sustainable, lower-impact business over the long term.
So whilst our footprint is now bigger, our thinking remains exactly the same. Customer focused, environmentally responsible, built for the future.
