Ballincollig, Co. Cork
A family run print studio
We design and print memorial cards, bookmarks, wallet cards, acknowledgement cards, lifetime cards and calendars. We have been doing it since 1993, and it is the only thing we do.
Most people who ring us have never ordered a memorial card before and never expected to. They are usually somewhere between the funeral and the month’s mind, working from a phone, with a photograph they are not sure is good enough and no idea what a verse is supposed to say.
That is the job as we see it. Not printing, printing is the easy part. The job is taking what a family can manage to give us on a hard week and turning it into something they will be glad to hand out, and glad to keep.
We do the design ourselves, here in the studio. There is no design fee, no charge for changes, and nothing is printed until you have seen a proof and told us it is right. If the photograph is a faded print in a frame, post it to us. We scan it, do what can be done with it, and post it back to you the same day it arrives.
Everything is printed on heavyweight coated art board from FSC certified forests and finished with a gloss laminate, so the card survives being carried in a diary or a wallet for years, which is what usually happens to them.
We print for families all over Ireland and the UK, and regularly for families in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe who want a card that looks like it came from home.
Call in if it is easier
The studio is at Myler Business Park, Flynn's Road, Ballincollig. Call in and we will put the paper in your hand, show you sample prints, and go through the designs with you at a table. Plenty of people find that easier than doing it on a screen, and we would rather you did it the way that suits you.
