About Us

Impression House is “Sprinting Ahead” in equipment, technology, personnel and service level. We have departments that ensure the streamlining of jobs end to end resulting in efficiency and cost savings for our customers. Our departments are fully resourced with quality equipment and personnel that meet high standards. Below is a brief description of the departments in our organisation.

Pre-Press:

With state-of-the-art computers and software, we are equally comfortable handling files in both PC and Mac platforms in a number of software. Our files are digitally imposed and plates for printing are made direct from computer to thermal plate for unmatched print quality. Our pre-press personnel have the expertise in the technical aspects of file-preparation for printing. In addition to accurate preparation, they can also make any required corrections to files submitted for print and render them output-worthy.

Press:

We are well-equipped with world-renowned Heidelberg range of presses and use 1, 2, 4 and 5 colour presses to cater for all types of printing applications from business cards to A1 size posters. Accurate colour matching is achieved by using computerised mixing and quantity calculations. Well trained and skilled operators ensure adherence to strict quality standards. We also have an HP Indigo digital press to cater for short runs and on-demand printing, matching offset print quality, in addition to large-format ultra-short-run printing for up to A0 size.

Post-press:

All finishing is done in-house with machinery for cutting, folding, collating, saddle-stitching, wiro-binding, perfect binding, die-cutting, foiling, laminating, drilling etc. Besides numeral, sequential numbering can now be done using alphanumeric, barcode and QR-code. Trained and skilled personnel ensure jobs are finished to highest standards.

Sales & Estimation:

A well resourced Sales department provides quotes with a turn around time from while-u-wait to a maximum of 24 hours. Quotes can be emailed as pdf files or faxed as per client’s request. Our sales personnel are trained not only to gather all necessary information regarding the customer’s specifications for a print job but also to offer customers suggestions and alternatives to meet their requirements.

Store:

A well-stocked store caters for nearly all jobs lined for print without having to wait for supplies. This ensures optimal production efficiency as we are less dependant on our suppliers after-hours and week-end.

Maintenance:

All machinery and computer equipment undergo regular maintenance routines to be kept in top condition, enabling us to confidently handle jobs with very demanding deadlines. Bottle-neck situations are avoided by having back-up equipment and personnel in almost all departments. A wide variety of spare parts are kept handy at all times to combat most break-down situations.

Business Continuity:

  • A powerful stand-by generator capable of running our entire plant and office makes us immune to power-cuts. All computer and electronic equipment run on robust online UPS systems with adequate power back-up.
  • Fully computerised operations ensure total control on job tracking, production planning, automated SMS-triggering and real-time web-updates of jobs in production.
  • Delivery personnel and delivery vehicles with radio communication ensure there is no delay in reaching the jobs to the customer’s premises.
  • There is adequate parking area and you will experience friendly staff in all departments.
  • We are flexible to accommodate priority orders and have mechanisms to make quick production re-planning procedures with round-the-clock managerial presence.
