40 Miles
Our manufactured parts, the tools that cut and mould them, and the testing behind them all sit inside that radius. Materials are sourced as close as we can get them. Everything is put together in our own facility.
Why we count it
A supply chain you could drive round in an afternoon
Most firms offering licensing identification assemble it - components ordered in, printing done elsewhere, finishing by a third party, invoiced by a fourth. We make it. That is the difference between answering a licensing officer's three real questions - when can I have it, what happens when it goes wrong, who do I speak to - and passing them down a chain.
40
Mile radius covering every manufactured part, every cutting and moulding tool, and the testing behind them.
2 Days
Approved artwork to first delivery. Specifications routinely allow twenty-eight.
1991
Making licensing identification since 1991, inside a family manufacturing business registered in 1950.
No printing plates, no screens, no minimum run
Every plate, badge and disc is digitally printed, so the first costs what the five hundredth costs and a design change costs only the time it takes you to approve it.
A council changing its crest, adding a zone or needing one plate this afternoon is not asking a favour. It is asking for Tuesday.
Tonnes of material, already here
A shortage somewhere else in the world becomes our problem months before it becomes yours, and usually never becomes yours at all.
Pre-printed bases run at thirty thousand an hour. An order placed by ten is despatched by three for next working day, up to five thousand bases, across several carriers rather than one - because a single carrier is a single point of failure.
What the number covers
Forty miles of parts, tools
and testing. Not forty miles
of everything.
Pigment, film and base polymer are internationally traded commodities. We source as close as we can get them, and we would be inventing something if we claimed more than that.
What we can say precisely: every part we have manufactured, every tool that cuts and moulds it, and the testing behind it sit within forty miles - and every product is assembled by our own people in our own facility.
What a short distance buys
Proximity is not sentiment. It is control.
Hours
Not weeks
A problem found at eleven is looked at before lunch, on the machine that caused it, by the person who runs it.
One
Accountable firm
No subcontractor to chase and nobody else to blame. If it is wrong, it is ours.
60%
Of the carbon is the journey
Five-year plate against annual replacement: sixty per cent of the difference was transport. Only forty was the plate.
Zero
Offshore manufacture
Nothing we make is made outside the UK. There is no lead time crossing an ocean.
