The Imaging Centre

The Imaging Centre is a family run digital printing company, with innovation at the heart. From when we began in 1998, The Imaging Centre has strived to be at the forefront of new technologies and advancements, to support and evolve the Greeting Card industry.

Our IC Simplicity services are designed to help you save time, money and help the environment. They allow you to print on demand, in short runs. This means no stock-piling or upfront ordering of thousands of cards – simply order as and when you need them. Our IC Simplicity portal is a service designed especially for professional illustrators and publishers, who send orders to retailers. 

Our high quality, professionally printed products are delivered direct to the retailer, and are stocked in stores such as Scribbler, Paperchase, Urban Outfitters and hundreds of indie shops. Our publishers also sell online on retailers such as Amazon, Etsy and NOTHS.

Printing on demand, means no stockpiling and less financial risk, but is also much better for the environment with less waste. We print on FSC® approved and recycled boards, and offer compostable cellos, eco clasp stickers, and paper belly banding rather than conventional plastic packaging.

New in November 2020, is our IC Simplicity Centre website. For new artists and publishers who are starting out, our IC Simplicity Centre offers an online portal with step by step guides to uploading your own designs for print. This is ideal for those wanting to try our on-demand digital printing service.  

Opening January 2021 is our state-of-the-art Innovation Centre. Our experienced team will be on hand to guide you through the creation process, and advise on special finishes, such as die cutting, embossing, neon ink, white ink, debossing, and foiling.
The facility will also host meetings between designers, publishers and our expert production team to help make people’s ideas become a reality – here for you from thought to finish.
