Using Automation Wisely
A reminder of the principles, capabilities and service standards that guide Flexpress as a trade-only printing partner.
This is a reminder of what matters to Flexpress and what we are equipped to deliver.
Right First Time
Automation works best when it supports skilled people rather than replacing their judgement.
Our production culture is focused on accuracy, consistency and preventing avoidable reprints.
Responsible Production
We generate renewable energy through solar power, use electric delivery vehicles, select responsibly sourced materials and recycle the majority of our production waste.
Value Beyond Price
Overall value matters more than simply being the cheapest.
We aim to combine:
- Reliable quality
- Responsive service
- Sensible pricing
- Trade confidentiality
- Consistent production
