We've been printing for south east London since 2004 — from Old Kent Road, to Peckham, to our premises in Beckenham. No call centres, no account managers you've never met. Just the same small team, on the end of the phone.
Bluwave started in 2004 and has grown up alongside this part of London — starting out on Old Kent Road, moving to Peckham, and now based at our premises in Beckenham. We're still independent, still local, and still producing printed matter, marketing materials and large-format work for businesses and families across the UK.
What hasn't changed is the promise: 24 to 48 hours as standard on digital jobs, and a clear timescale agreed up front on bigger runs and litho work. If we say Thursday, we mean Thursday.
Our relationships are built on customer care and print quality. In practice, that comes down to two things.
Late print doesn't just cost you money — it costs you the launch date, the event, the deadline you promised a client. Standard digital jobs go out within the 24-48hr window, and if something is ever going to run late, we call you before you have to call us.
No artwork? Our in-house design team builds it from scratch. Wrong bleed, wrong colour profile, a file that won't open — we catch it and fix it. A fee is chargeable if it's gone to print.
Business cards, flyers, multi-page brochures, presentation folders and full starter packs. Printed on 80gsm-400gsm or recycled stock, finished matte, gloss, or silk.
Prints from A3 up to 1500mm width on a continuous roll, plus site boards and Heras fencing banners. Weatherproof Foamex, and artwork tiled to read as one design across a whole run.
No artwork? Our in-house team works from a brief, a logo or a scribble on a napkin. Send print-ready files instead and we check them free — low-res images, missing fonts, RGB colour — before they cost you a reprint.
Launching a campaign or reprinting the menus — either way, you can trust us to handle the production while you get on with running your business.
“I received a professional and courteous experience from the outset. I cannot sing Richards praises enough! Please do not look for another printer, don’t carry out any more searches. You will not be disappointed. Richard worked really hard to give us what we wanted and designed the best funeral brochure for my mother in law. We are so happy with everything. Thanks Richard.”
