I also recommend:
Copypoll for printing cartons. FSC registered, rally helpful and did a great job printing our design for Ilze’s Chocolat.
http://www.copypoll.com

I also recommend Lovely Packaging Ltd
http://www.lovelypackaging.co.uk

They make and print eco friendly biodegradable greaseproof, foodsafe paper. Really helpful and nice people.

Great work with your blog and getting such a useful list of design and print resources together.

You’re a good read so I’ve added you to my bookmarks for identity brand designers.

Check out our design/print blog print.quote when you get the chance.

Thanks, Alex. No more local suggestions as yet.

Renata, packaging production is an area I’m not so clued-up about. Thanks for the compliment. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Hy David,
Loving your blog, it’s absolutely exceptional. I adore the way you share your knowledge with other designers.
I browsed through the printing houses mentioned above but haven’t found any flexible printing. Is it just not popular in UK when it comes to packaging industry? I would be grateful if you could shed some light on that. Thanks.

Hi David,
A bit late to add my suggestion I know, but I can very highly recommend http://www.leyprint.co.uk
I recently completed a rebrand requiring bottle labels and found their suggestions and advice brilliant, particularly as my client had to unexpectedly cut costs.
I’ve recently moved to Belfast. Any local suggestions other than Minprint (as it’s already been mentioned).
Thanks for your blog.

Printing.com all the way for me. Without doubt one of the finest production facilities in the UK printing industry.

Not often at all, Roy, so I can’t offer a recommendation, unfortunately.

Ebi, Thanks so much for your recommendation for the letterpress workshop, will definitely look into doing that one day, would be a very interesting skill to learn. Also interesting to hear many printers will order stock in at your request too, i worked in a printers for a while and never heard that before, so will ask next time, thanks!

This sort of list is great, choosing a service definitely feels safer with recommendations. Though it is a shame that none have been recommended in Cornwall!

How often do you find yourself dealing with screen printers, David? Would love to see a similar post for that.
