Here at The Imaging Centre, print is what we do best – and we do it with three key goals in mind: unquestionable quality, sustainability, and speed.
With the power of three HP Indigo presses behind us, we deliver exceptional colour accuracy and crisp detail that make your greeting cards stand out on the shelf. HP Indigo’s unique ink technology gives us the precision to do your designs justice, whether you’re printing your first range or your fiftieth.
What You Need, When You Need It
Everything we produce is printed completely on demand, in the exact quantities you need – no wasteful overruns, no excess stock gathering dust. And because our presses are CO2 neutral, we’re proud to offer a print service that’s as planet-friendly as it is high-quality.
Thanks to our custom in-house system, your orders can be on the press within minutes of being placed. Whether you’re printing 6 cards or 600,000, we’ve got the setup to handle it.
We’re Here to Make It Shine
And if you’re looking to take your designs to the next level, our presses can also apply a range of eye-catching finishes, including metallic inks, white inks, and neons – perfect for adding that extra pop, punch, or polish to your cards.
From concept to completion, we’re here to make sure your work shines – just the way you imagined it.

The Finishing Touch Specialist
At The Imaging Centre, we know that greeting card publishers need more than just a printer – you need a specialist, and that’s exactly what we are.
Printing is only half the story; it’s the finishing touches that turn a great card into a standout one.
Flawless Results
That’s why we’ve carefully chosen and invested in top-of-the-line finishing equipment to ensure every card is not only beautifully printed, but finished to perfection.
From precision cutting and creasing to adding that little something extra, we’ve got it covered.
Because the Magic’s in the Detail
Need a bit more sparkle and flair? We offer a whole range of special finishes including foiling, fluting, embossing, die-cutting, and even hand-finishing for those truly unique touches. And with a constant focus on innovation, our finishing department is built to keep up with demand – without ever compromising on quality.
Because when it comes to cards, it’s all in the details.
