As we move into 2026, one thing is clear at Citiprint: we’re doubling down on speed, quality, and keeping everything in-house.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to invest heavily in our production setup so we can say yes to more complex jobs, tighter deadlines, and larger projects, without compromising on finish or reliability. Whether you’re planning an exhibition, fitting out an office, or working on a time-critical production, we’re fully geared up and ready.

Precision Cutting with Our New Summa F1612

A major upgrade for us going into 2026 is the installation of our Summa F1612 flatbed cutting system.

This allows us to:

• Cut boards accurately to any shape

• Handle complex curves, lettering, and custom designs

• Deliver a far cleaner, more consistent finish than hand cutting

• Turn jobs around faster, even under tight deadlines

From Foamex, Correx and ACM to custom display panels and signage, machine cutting gives a professional, repeatable finish that’s ideal for:

• Events and exhibitions

• Film & TV set build and props

• Offices, retail spaces, and commercial interiors

It’s a big step forward in what we can offer — and it means more control, better quality, and quicker turnaround for our clients.

Built for Fast Turnaround, 24/7

Citiprint has always been known for fast response and short lead times, and that doesn’t change in 2026.

We continue to operate as a 24/7 print and production facility, with:

• Large stock holdings of boards and materials

• Flatbed printing and finishing under one roof

• The ability to react quickly to last-minute changes or urgent briefs

No outsourcing. No waiting on third parties. Just efficient, reliable production when it matters most.

Full In-House Delivery – From Small Drops to Major Exhibitions

Print is only half the job — getting it where it needs to be, on time and intact, is just as important.

That’s why we maintain a full in-house delivery fleet, including:

• Small vans for quick Central London drops

• Medium vans for multi-board and retail jobs

• Luton vans with tail lifts for exhibitions, large signage, and heavy or oversized items

We regularly deliver to:

• Exhibition venues

• Offices and commercial buildings

• Studios and production sites

• Event spaces across London and beyond

Because it’s our own fleet, we can offer same-day delivery, early morning or out-of-hours drops, and direct-to-site service without relying on couriers who don’t understand deadlines.

Looking Ahead to Your Next Project

2026 is about working smarter, moving faster, and continuing to be a print partner clients can rely on when timing and quality really matter.

If you’ve got:

• A project that needs precision cutting

• An event or exhibition with a tight install window

• A large-format job that needs careful handling and delivery

• Or simply a deadline you can’t afford to miss

We’d love to help.

Citiprint
Fast turnaround. In-house production. Ready for 2026.

As Citiprint approaches its 10th year, we’re proud to share some exciting news about our continued growth and evolution.

In line with our long-term plans for expansion and to ensure the smoothest operation possible, we’ve recently completed a legal transition to a new limited company — Citiprint (London) Ltd. This change is purely a formal restructure and has no impact on our day-to-day operations, staff, or the high level of service our clients know and trust.

Our motivation for this move is simple — to create a clean, future-proof foundation for growth as we continue to invest in faster equipment, expanded capabilities, and improved systems behind the scenes. The past year has seen significant investment in new print and finishing machinery, allowing us to deliver even quicker turnaround times and higher-quality results across all of our print and signage services.

This legal transition ensures our business is set up to thrive for the next decade, with clearer processes, stronger financial structures, and room for continued innovation.

We’re proud that Citiprint’s journey — from a start-up built on same-day printing to an award-winning print and signage company trusted by major brands — continues stronger than ever.

Thank you to all our customers, partners, and supporters who’ve been part of this incredible journey so far. Here’s to the next chapter of Citiprint (London) Ltd — a smarter, faster, and even more dependable print partner for you.

Established in 2016, Citiprint started as a small printing firm with offices in St Albans. However, the company’s founder envisioned something greater—an enterprise that not only meets the printing needs of businesses but also exceeds expectations through fast turnarounds and outstanding customer service.

Over the years, Citiprint invested in state-of-the-art technology and assembled a team of skilled professionals who share the company’s passion for pushing the boundaries of creativity in printing and signage.

Oxford Street, in the heart of London, is famous for its high-end retail stores, bustling crowds, and iconic storefront signage. For many brands, the sign that hangs above their store is not just a piece of marketing but a symbol of their identity and presence. When Asics, the renowned athletic footwear and sportswear brand, encountered a sign issue on Oxford Street, they turned to our client who in turn contracted us at Citiprint, a sign repair company with an exceptional reputation for restoring iconic and specialist signage. In this blog post, we’ll explore how we repaired Asics’ sign on Oxford Street, showcasing our commitment to excellence and dedication to preserving the city’s vibrant commercial landscape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpzXKFE4w0I&t=318s

The Sign Dilemma

Asics, a globally recognized brand for sports enthusiasts and athletes, had an issue with their signage on Oxford Street. The glass pane behind the large illuminated sign had been smashed during high winds, forcing a new glass pane to be produced. For the glaziers to swap the pane, the full sign lettering had to be removed, disconnected and made safe. For a brand that thrives on promoting an active lifestyle and pushing the boundaries of athletic performance, a faded and flickering sign was far from ideal.

The Challenge

Repairing signage on Oxford Street is no small feat. This bustling thoroughfare is known for its towering billboards and dazzling lights, making every storefront sign a vital piece of the visual spectacle. The challenge was to remove and replace Asics’ sign while preserving the integrity of the brand’s image, ensuring it remained a beacon for fitness enthusiasts and casual shoppers alike.

Citiprint’s Expertise

Citiprint has earned a stellar reputation for their expertise in sign repair and restoration. With a team of highly skilled professionals, they have successfully installed countless signs throughout London. We were contracted for our sterling reputation and their portfolio of impressive sign repair projects for large clients.

The Repair Process

1. Initial visit: The first step was an overnight removal of the sign lettering, using scaffolding put in place by another contractor. The letter faces were inspected, removed and safely stored before the LED backlight were safely disconnected and plans made for rewiring upon completion.
2. Interim: Citiprint stored and cleaned the signage whilst glass repairs were taking place. With our specialist fleet of install vehicles, the sign was transported safely to and from site.
3. On-Site replacement: Following the replacement glazing, Citiprint installers returned to refit the sign, including the large steel frame which bolts into the shopfront, being cautious when working near the new glass panels.

The Result

Citiprint’s dedication to excellence and meticulous craftsmanship paid off. Asics’ sign on Oxford Street was reborn, radiating its vibrant colors and lighting up the night once more. The brand’s presence on this iconic shopping street was fully restored, and it continued to draw in shoppers, fitness enthusiasts, and fans of the brand.

Citiprint Ltd Successfully Achieves RISQS Certification: A Milestone in Rail Industry Excellence

Citiprint, a leading printing and signage company, has achieved a significant milestone in its journey towards excellence by obtaining the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) certification.

The RISQS certification is a prestigious recognition, and Citiprint Ltd’s achievement underscores its dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency in serving the rail sector.

Understanding RISQS Certification

RISQS, short for the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme, is a rigorous certification process designed to assess and accredit suppliers and service providers working within the UK rail industry. Managed by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), RISQS aims to ensure that all suppliers and service providers adhere to industry-specific standards and best practices. This certification process is vital to maintaining the safety and efficiency of rail operations, as it ensures that all stakeholders in the industry work together seamlessly.

Citiprint Ltd’s RISQS Journey

Citiprint Ltd embarked on the journey towards RISQS certification in Summer 2023 with a clear commitment to excellence and a thorough understanding of the railway industry’s unique requirements.

Key milestones in Citiprint Ltd’s RISQS journey:

Citiprint Ltd’s team worked closely with RISQS auditors to identify areas that required improvement to meet the railway industry’s stringent criteria.
2. Training and Compliance: Citiprint Ltd invested in staff training and development to ensure that every employee understood the specific requirements of the rail sector. This included safety protocols, quality control measures, and regulatory compliance.
3. Documentation Review: All documentation related to Citiprint Ltd’s operations was meticulously reviewed and updated to reflect compliance with RISQS standards. This included safety manuals, quality assurance procedures, and relevant certifications.
4. On-Site Audits: RISQS conducted on-site audits to evaluate Citiprint Ltd’s operations firsthand. These audits assessed everything from workplace safety to the quality of products and services provided to the rail industry.
5. Continuous Improvement: Citiprint Ltd adopted a culture of continuous improvement throughout the certification process. Regular reviews and assessments allowed the company to make necessary adjustments and enhancements to its processes and systems.

Benefits of RISQS Certification for Citiprint Ltd

Obtaining RISQS certification represents a significant achievement for Citiprint Ltd and offers several benefits:

1. Enhanced Credibility: Citiprint Ltd can now showcase its commitment to safety, quality, and compliance to potential clients within the rail industry, enhancing its credibility as a reliable supplier.
2. Access to Rail Contracts: RISQS certification opens doors to a wider range of rail industry contracts, allowing Citiprint Ltd to expand its market presence and contribute to the growth of the sector.
3. Improved Safety Culture: The rigorous certification process has undoubtedly improved safety awareness and practices within the company, leading to a safer work environment for employees.
4. Competitive Advantage: Citiprint Ltd now possesses a competitive edge over non-certified competitors, making it more appealing to rail industry clients seeking reliable and compliant suppliers.

Conclusion

Citiprint Ltd’s successful attainment of RISQS certification marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards excellence in the rail industry. Through a commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement, Citiprint Ltd has not only met the stringent standards of the railway sector but also demonstrated its dedication to delivering the best possible products and services to its clients.

This achievement not only benefits Citiprint Ltd but also contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the UK rail industry.

Towards the end of 2022 Citiprint completed a roll out of rebranding to InstaVolt’s EV Charger network. We were approached to carry out the work by the Marketing Manager at InstaVolt to assist in completing work across 130 locations as part of their sponsorship deal with E.ON Energy.

InstaVolt’s leading charger network covers a vast area in the UK with our work alone covering some 2000 miles, from Newquay and Bournemoth, as far north as Liverpool and Keswick.

We were chosen for our ability to replace vinyl graphics on the chargers on site without third party involvement and our 24/7 nature. Work was carried out at all hours by an installer of ours who was able to complete the work in just under five days with zero downtime or interruption to InstaVolt’s customers looking to utilise the chargers.

The work further worked to highlight our skill and experience when it comes to large scale national roll out work, with a very similar project being completed in 2021 for JustEat in which over 500 restaurants were rebranded within a week with new POS and hard signage.

Our work for InstaVolt is expected to continue with similar future projects and we are proud to have been able to accomplish this large project successfully.
