Printing company Printdesigns is allowing businesspeople to complete their Christmas shopping while ordering business materials thanks to its versatile product range. The online retailer has the Christmas season all wrapped up with gifts such as personalised garments and cardboard lifesize cut outs.

Printdesigns is a leading retailer in the exhibition industry, known for its high quality and affordable displays, banner stands and trade show marketing accessories. While the company may seem like an unlikely destination for finding Christmas gifts, it offers a fun personalised selection of unique presents for friends and family – which can be ordered while stocking up on business essentials.

Mark Thompson, Co-Founder of Printdesigns said, “On our website people really can kill two birds with one stone at this time of year – order everything you need for your business in 2016, and find a quirky Christmas gift at the same time. If you have an office Secret Santa arrangement or like to buy joke gifts for family members, we can provide a really original present if you can use your imagination.”

The state of the art printing equipment at Printdesigns allows the team to print virtually anything onto cardboard or fabric. This could be the starting block for any number of creative gift ideas, from embarrassing photos on T-shirts to lifesize cardboard cut-outs of someone’s favourite celebrity.

Mark added, “Perhaps you have an office joke about someone famous you all love, or who you’d like to work for such as Alan Sugar. Why not buy a cut-out of the person in question and give it as your secret santa present? It’s a great novelty gift and will certainly brighten up the office! The cardboard cut outs are also great ideas for youngsters who want to meet their favourite pop star.”

The cardboard cut-outs are produced by a flatbed UV printer, which takes any image or photograph and expands and transfers it directly onto the 5mm board. The graphic design team can also go one step further to make an interesting gift – in addition to editing photos and removing backgrounds, they can also add text, captions and speech bubbles to add a witty line or two for the recipient.

Photographs can also be printed onto T-shirts for a custom design. These are usually designed for marketing campaigns or trade show uniforms, but the service is also ideal for special gifts, hen and stag parties and community groups.

If you want to find a gift which unique and unexpected, speak to the Printdesigns team soon to ensure a pre-Christmas delivery.
