We develop modern creative printeries for local people to own
Welcome to The Little Printeries
At The Little Printeries we love developing specialist little printeries - that are intended to be run by the new generation of part-time and home-based would-be printers.
Our Business Model for the future is very much based on the principles of our being a Shared Economy - click on the chart below.

We research each project's viability, create the technology and systems needed to make it work, test it, and finally let local people take over a local outlet for each printery brand as their own project.
Below are some of The Little Printery projects we are currently working on.
KIDS COLOURING Packs
KIDS COLOURNG PACKS is for children aged from 7 to 11 years.
We have many years experience of developing and publishing creative and fun resources for children, and our colouring packs use artwork to either tell a story... or to encourage children to explore and discover a topic... or to simply grab a quiet moment of creative fun!
Our colouring packs are crammed with creative engaging formats - such as models and wall artwork.
Each colouring pack is personalised to the child, to make it even better!
After your first order you qualify to receive a 10% discount on all your subsequent orders.

COLOURING Wall Art
MARCH
2025
COLOURING WALL ART publishes superb colouring artwork for adult colouring fans.
Both for individual colouring fans, and for local colouring groups and clubs.
Our artwork ranges from quickie A5 packs (colouring on the move!), to A4 and A3 sized displayable artwork.
We have many pieces of artwork which instead of using black lines to outline colouring areas, instead use gold foil... to give the completed artwork a stained glass window affect.
For local colouring clubs we have special arrangements, so please get in touch with us to find out more.
Our packs are personalised to each colouring fan.
After your first order you qualify to receive a 10% discount on all your subsequent orders.
NOTECARDS
APRIL
2025
NOTECARDS are a really special thing for us.... because they carry a smile with them from the sender to the person receiving the notecard.
How special is that?
We have personally felt the positive impact of notecard messages and those smiles, and it's why we decided that our own range of themed notecards would be an important part of our Little Printeries network.
We have developed a collection of differently themed picture notecards. And each brand also includes the theme's notebooks, notepads, and posters.
And there's one more thing about our themed notecards... every one of our notecards brings with it a free A3 sized poster.
It's our way of helping make that smile a wee bit bigger!

COMMUNITY COPY SHOP
SEPT.
2025
COMMUNITY COPY SHOP - is a different sort of Little Printery.
It's a community-serving project in that, it establishes a local copying service into smaller communities - communities which haven't had such a dedicated service before.
Our target group are single, or clusters of neighbouring rural communities.
We want our Community Copy Shops to offer low costs copying... active support for local publishing... active support for the local creative sector. Because we believe those are the sectors that help to define a community's local spirit.
Our plan is bold!
By the end of 2006 we expect to have set up around 100 Community Copy Shops - across the UK.
And to do that, we've slashed the set up cost per copy shop to just £150 - which can be spread of 3 equal monthly payments. This cost is for our tech team to duplicate and brand a website to an individual community.
So, our actual investment in this project is real.
And so are our expectations.
We expect each copy shop to be active in supporting its community - albeit on a part-time and home-based footing. Which is why we want each copy shop owner to be passionate about thier community, and it's neighbouring communities.
