New magazine launched for UK’s grassroots music scene
Drowned in Sound has launched SHOWNOTES, a new print title supported by Music Venue Trust which is dedicated to celebrating live music in the UK
After a year of growth, acquisitions, and launches, Print.com has marked its one-year anniversary in the UK market ahead of The Print Show 2025
After twelve months operating in the UK following its debut at The Print Show 2024, print platform Print.com has reflected on its various achievements over the past year.
The company says it’s been a busy year, especially after it has introduced its Airline-theme and “Frequent Flyer” concept to customers at The Print Show. The 2024 stand was adorned by bold branding, airline iconography, and the company’s signature Dutch stroopwafels.
The platform is said to be used by over 10,000 print resellers, creatives, brands, and agencies across Europe.
Over the past few years, Print.com has focused on European expansion, including divisions in Belgium, France, Germany, and Austria. The UK division marked the first time the company ventured outside the Eurozone, with its Manchester-based office opening in May 2024.
Since its UK debut, Print.com has also launched in Denmark, Spain, and Italy and has acquired online Printer, Simian, which helped boost its production capabilities in the Netherlands.
Over the last twelve months, the UK team says it has focused on establishing a local supply chain to support its vast product range. The company’s new “Flag Selector” tool gives customers the ability to see production origin, turnaround times, pricing, and shipping.
Print.com says: “We understand that European fulfilment isn’t always the best fit, especially for bulkier orders or tighter deadlines. Transparency of choice matters. While price is important, quality and service will always be our top priorities, no matter where your product is produced.”
Looking back at Print.com UK’s first year, Fiona Robinson, UK country captain, says: “Last year was all about making a statement. We wanted to announce that Print.com had landed.
"The Print Show gave us the perfect stage to meet print professionals face-to-face, show them what we’re all about, and reassure them that while we may be new to the UK, we’re backed by a well-established business in mainland Europe and a highly experienced crew in the UK.”
At this year’s edition of The Print Show, Print.com will be unveiling the Frequent Flyer Club, a loyalty programme made exclusively for print professionals. Members can unlock fixed discounts, vouchers, and upgraded services, with every order helping customers reach “cruise level” which they stay at for a full year once achieved.
Visitors to the show will also receive a free upgrade to “Silver Status” with a limited number of Gold Status upgrades available to those who qualify.
