June 2nd , 2025 – The Printed Group, the North East-based printer specialising in high-quality printing services for businesses and individuals, has announced an exciting expansion with the acquisition of a third factory site. This move solidifies its position as a market leader in print manufacturing, with a focus on digital production, to meet growing demand and serve a diverse range of customers more effectively.

The Printed Group has unveiled a new facility in Cramlington, conveniently located just a short walk from its two main sites. This expansion is designed to meet the increasing printing demands of its flagship brand, Printed.com, as well as the growing portfolio of brands under its PrintedDirect division, launched in 2023.

With this expansion, the company’s total operational space now exceeds 50,000 square feet. The new facility contributes an additional 6,000 square feet, specifically allocated to large-format printing- an area that has experienced an impressive 35% year-over-year growth in sales. The site will house cutting-edge equipment, including two HP R2000 direct-to-media large-format printers, several Canon and HP reel-fed printers, and a robust array of finishing tools, such as advanced board cutting and guillotine systems. This nearly £1 million investment in state-of-the-art technology underscores The Printed Group’s dedication to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of its clients and customers.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to innovation and excellence in the print industry,” said Rob Haycock, CEO of The Printed Group. “By investing in this new facility, we’re enhancing our capabilities to meet high-volume demands while maintaining the quality we’re known for. We’re thrilled to continue supporting businesses with unparalleled service and product variety, and is just one of many exciting developments coming in 2025.”

Additionally, the expansion is set to drive economic growth in the local community by creating a range of new career opportunities, and paving the way for new Apprenticeship programs.

The new site is due to be fully operational by mid-June 2025.
