Colour Connection
Our story & us
colour connection
We are a curious and creative team of consultants, designers, technicians, united by the desire to push the boundaries of print. We started out life as a small franchise almost 40 years ago, but now in the hands of the founderโs son, we are on a mission to change the printing industry for good.
print and plant
At Colour Connection, thereโs so much more to us than โprintโ. We are conscious of how our work has an effect on our carbon footprint, and how we all need to take responsibility for this. Our vision is to maintain the same high-quality offerings, but to increase our portfolio of alternatives which will help us to help the planet. A great deal of our work has shifted from print to digital over the past couple of years, we donโt want to discourage that, neither does our in-house design team, but for those items and projects that simply cannot be transformed into a digital form, we have introduced a tree planting solution. (more:trees) enables us to plant trees, so that we can help sequester carbon dioxide in the future. We are embarking on this for us as individuals, us as a business, and for our customers.
