Royal Mail International Service Severe Disruptions - Update

27th Jan

Royal Mail has now resumed international deliveries. They are asking business customer to hold off sending new customers for the moment while they clear the backlog. Any outstanding orders should be cleared within the coming weeks. International orders can still be sent via our courier options. We're looking at future fail-safe options to avoid any future disruption. Apologies to all customers who have been affected.

For more information you can read Royal Mail's official announcement here.


Jan 16th

Royal Mail is experiencing severe service disruption to their international export services following a cyber incident. We are temporarily unable to despatch items to overseas destinations until further notice. Items that have already been despatched may be subject to delays.

Royal Mail is working around the clock to restore their systems. The security and safety of our customers and their data are paramount. We are unaware of any sensitive customer data being compromised at this stage and will not produce any international labels until it is safe to do so. 

We will keep you updated when the service is back up and running.

New Paper Awagami Unryu Thin (Swirling Fibers)

We are happy to announce we are offering a new paper. The Unryu Thin White (55gsm.) reflects a classic Japanese aesthetic highlighted by its swirling Kozo (mulberry) fibre inclusions. From the Awagami factory in Japan, this paper can be backlit or hung freely from the ceiling. Photos with a relatively simple composition or one primary subject look stunning when printed on this paper.

Price Increases + New Quantity Discounts

As a result of rising costs in all areas of our production, raw materials and shipping services - from Wednesday 1st June - our print products will rise on average by 9% (note that all our existing products include free UK delivery).

We have looked at all areas of our supply chain to keep this unavoidable price rise to a minimum, so we can continue to deliver the highest standards in print quality, customer service and our industry leading order and preview application.

To help mitigate these price rises for all our customers, we are introducing a new quantity discount system for all our print only products. If you order 3 or more print only items - giclee, rolled canvas or self-adhesive prints - you will receive substantial discounts. Note that each print can be of a different size or image, as long as it's in the same order and delivered as a batch in the same consignment.

Quantity / batch discounts for print only products will now automatically be calculated and applied in the basket and clearly summarised at the top of the page - please see some examples and the quantity discount table below:

Giclee prints - example price increases inclusive of vat and free UK delivery:

Prices include vat and free delivery within the UK mainland.

For trade customers that have existing flat-rate discounts, this will continue to apply in your basket, unless the quantity discount is greater.

These changes will take affect from Wednesday 1st June 2022. If you have any queries please feel free to contact us or jump straight to our website here.

Marketplace notes and attachments

We have added a new file attachment feature which can be used by trade customers. This is available at the end of the order process to make it easier to include delivery notes, invoices or other printed assets. 

Typically this would be notes from marketplaces (such as Etsy, Not on the High Street etc.) associated with an order that we dispatch direct to your customers and would replace a white-label delivery note that you may have already setup on your account.

Add a new file by clicking the button as shown in the screen grab below:

Please note that using this service may incur additional costs outlined in this article. If you have any queries about our white-label and bespoke fulfilment services feel free to contact us.
