Our Process

Our Approach

Teamwork

We don't work for you — we work with you. As an extension of your team, we find the best solutions on a consultancy basis.

Challenge

Over 40 years of expertise, creating bespoke solutions that challenge convention and over-deliver every time.

Communicate

The right message, to the right audience, at the right time — through the channels that make the most impact.

Evolve

We never stand still. Every process is reviewed and refined to keep improving results.

The production
process

In the press room, B1 lithographic Heidelberg machines cater for high-quality, high-speed long runs. Lower-volume and variable-data work can be produced digitally on Indigo or Xerox machines.

In the print-finishing department there are many options available, from varnishing and laminating, cutting and creasing, to specialist foils, debossing and micro-embossing. TFW often combine multiple finishes to create premium, luxury pieces for some of the world's biggest brands.

Design, development
& pre-press

From initial design sketches our cardboard engineers draw up complex cutter guides using a CAD system, before cutting prototypes and testing.

Once signed off, these cutter guides are used for artworking. When the final artwork reaches our reprographics department a number of checks are carried out before progressing to proofing and finally production.

Using the latest colour-scanning technology, we ensure colour calibration that meets the required FOGRA standards.

Fulfilment, storage
& logistics

TFW have a large warehousing facility coupled with a strong co-packing team. This enables us to offer an end-to-end streamlined solution, whilst keeping transit costs to a minimum.

On a regular basis we produce branded outer packaging, take delivery of product, then co-pack and collate before distribution — often to multiple locations, both nationally and internationally.

Storage and stock-control facilities are also available.

Processes &
Accreditations

TFW believes in working to and maintaining the highest possible standards. These levels are continually monitored and examined by external auditors to ensure strict quality, security and environmental policies are adhered to.

Our commitment to being a socially and environmentally responsible company has gained us the following accreditations:
