Linwood's Story...
We have had a great relationship with St Anne’s since we started with them in in 2018/19 and we view them as a vital part of our team and packaging process. Their involvement in reprographics and artworking really helped fill the huge gap between designers and printers, and guided us through our 2019/20 pack change with great professionalism, ease and efficiency by removing uncertainty in the process, and bringing us through every process step-by-step. When using several different types of print over different materials, and supplying hundreds of different products in different languages, it can be tricky to manage, but St Anne’s have helped us immensely to make sound decisions and avoid surprises since we started with them.

Innovation and Packaging Manager
The Linwoods and St Anne’s relationship began when they embarked on a full brand redesign. We were brought in at the design stage to help guide the design team on the limitations and effects of different print methods but also to create the full range of SKU’s from a set of master design files.
St Anne’s, offered full artworking of this new design and has to date progressed 200 SKU’s, bringing together the new designs and customer copy in print ready manner.
Close ties were built up with their current printers and full reprographics for all packs were applied at St Anne’s giving Linwoods that all important control of their final printed files.
St Anne’s again worked with the printer to create accurate colour and proofing settings so that we could produce press accurate colour proofs for approval by Linwoods before anything was sent to print.
Once approved St Anne’s sent print ready final files to the printer along with approved colour proofs.
By using our online approval system Flowmation, full artwork, repro and proofing services Linwoods has stayed in full control of their packaging chain.
