New Packaging Options

As part of our commitment to offer our customers the widest possible range of packaging, we have once more expanded our in-house printing facilities.

We’ve been very happy, as we hope you have been, with the quality of our in-house digital print. This has now been extended to include card wallets and custom card packaging.

We’ve recently taken delivery of two rather large (but speedy) pieces of equipment; a die-cutter and a gluing machine.

Together with our digital printer (and a little bit of help from our print staff) these two burly machines are producing packaging that we’re proud to be associated with.

So whether you have an idea for your packaging that has yet to be realised, or are in need of fresh ideas, give us a call. We’ll only be too pleased to help.

To get your hands on some samples of our existing work, drop us a line and we’ll get some sent straight out to you.

The Ely Plains

West London dustbowl balladeers The Ely Plains will be releasing their debut album in a few weeks’ time.

Taking their lead from greats such as Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams the bands’ austerity blues provide the perfect soundtrack to these belt-tightening times.

At Alpha we helped them create the well received ‘Ely Plains EP’ by producing a vinyl-effect screen printed CD packed in a card wallet that uses depression-era photography to reflect their 1940s influences. The theme has been continued with their first full length album, ‘The National Bandstand’.

You can catch them at one of their forthcoming UK festival dates.

May 21 Rickmansworth Canal Festival (Owlsworld Tent)
