The investment has secured a press and plate machine for Co Down-based Print Library and follows a £500,000 spend since the beginning of 2025.
Geoff Truesdale, who co-founded the business along with Michael Thompson in 2001, said: “It’s an exciting time for Print Library as the business continues to grow. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector has increased demand for cartons, and as a company we’ve worked tirelessly to embrace this challenge as the great opportunity it is.
Investments through the course of 2025 have increased Print Library’s product offering, with cartons, ready meal sleeves and pastry boxes.
“Much of our success, recently growing as much as 20% year on year, has been down to our ability to innovate, adapt to changing needs and crucially, to make strategic investment when and where it’s required.”
Truesdale said: “The first phase of investment focused on a cutting-edge Computer Aided Design (CAD) prototyping machine which has since delivered the transformational impact we had anticipated.
“It’s taken our design process to the next level as every fold, closure and detail can be crafted with pinpoint accuracy. Its 3D capabilities mean not only can we see packaging from every angle before production begins, but we can also bring ideas to life with 3D-printed samples for testing and client feedback.”
