Testimonials
“I really hate putting any pressure on you guys. We’re lucky to have such a good supplier and we’re nothing without your efforts. But I also really hate to let our customers down, so sometimes we have to ask for the impossible.
There’s a little thank-you heading up to Ben for you and the team, just a little something to show our appreciation.”
— Neil
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do, real people, real deadlines and relationships that last decades.
Company History
1986 – Growing Again
Demand kept climbing, so we moved once more, this time into a 2,000 sq ft unit in central Middlesbrough. A bigger space, a tighter team and the foundations for the operation you know today.
FAQ
How can I speed up my lead times?
It starts with smart planning and clear artwork approval, but there are more ways to shave off days without cutting corners.
Branding Guide
Bespoke Acrylic & Acrystalic Awards
Acrylic can be cut to any shape. Acrystalic combines full-colour printed acrylic with a clear crystal base, big impact, smart pricing.
Best for bold logos, colour-heavy brands and eco-stories (we also offer 100 % recycled acrylic).
We Handle the Hassle
Free Visuals and Proofs, Every Time
Sell with confidence; approve with clarity.
We supply free, on-brand visuals for every job — and we’ll keep refining until you’re happy. Once approved, your proof is locked to the PO so what you approve is what ships.
Action: Send us your logo pack once; we’ll store it for every future order.
That’s it for this week’s Chronicle thanks for reading and for being part of the CG family.
