Founded in 1859, Baddeley Brothers is not only one of the oldest printing companies in the UK, it is still using, and indeed spearheading, the classic print techniques of that era.
Letterpress, die-stamping, embossing, engraving and hot foiling are now amongst the most sought-after solutions for designers and brands looking to add a unique and luxurious feel to their stationery.
No other company in the UK, perhaps even the world, has the capabilities of Baddeley Brothers in this field.
