Our History

In 2003, after qualifying from university in graphic design and product design, school friends Andy Wreakes and Paul Batey began a graphic design partnership that served customers ranging from local sports clubs to multinational conglomerates. Over time they began to notice sourcing of print and presentation products to meet their customers’ requirements.

In 2006, frustrated by the lack of options for short run presentation products, Andy, Paul and Paul’s brother Jack Batey launched FolderPrinting.co.uk. Using digital print and some propitiatory techniques they were able to offer short runs of high quality presentation folders and “paper over board” (POB) ring binders at competitive prices.

In 2008, applying the knowledge they had accumulated in the short run “Paper over Board” industry, the trio expanded the business into luxury packaging with the launch of ShowcaseCreative.com. Again, the goal was to reduce the minimum order quantities for high quality products and pass the savings on to their customers.

Today, Showcase Creative is a highly regarded and award winning short run, luxury packaging manufacturer. Employing more than 20 people in a 6000sqft facility and trusted by some of the world’s most well known brands and the UK’s leading agencies.
