« about us

 

The Wren Press is an established family business offering a comprehensive range of diverse print services and regarded as England's leading quality stationer.

The Wren Press was started over 25 years ago. Since then the company has grown and now has offices in New York, Hong Kong and Dublin as well as their London office/showroom in Chelsea.

The Wren Press own their own factory and machinery based in Balham, south London. This ensures that the client work is handled with the quality of service and product it deserves and for watertight security. The factory uses a unique combination of traditional skills and modern technology to create bespoke stationery.

In recognition of this and for work undertaken for the Royal Household Wren Press was awarded two Royal Warrants by HM The Queen and HRH Prince of Wales in 2002. We are required to meet certain environmental criteria and are expected to demonstrate that we have a proper understanding of the environmental aspects of the business.

A brief description of our printing methods.

Engraving or die-stamping: the finest quality results are produced from an engraved die (which can be used again) for letterheads, invitations, crests etc.

Thermography: a more cost-effective raised text than engraving but not recommended for very fine designs. Not suitable for use in laser printers unless specifically requested.

Blind embossing: a single die stamped raised effect mainly used on white/off-white materials.

Litho printing: flat printing in either black or 4-colour process or spot printing with single colours.
