Micropress is a family business, founded in 1974 by Mike Cross.

Every project that leaves our presses is made by our team of skilled workers, using cutting-edge technology to bring your visions to life.
Printing you can rely on
Our state-of-the-art Heidelberg printing presses produce hundreds of monthly and one-off publications with unparalleled precision and consistency. Additionally, our advanced digital printing presses ensure swift and superior output for short-run magazines, catering for quick turnarounds without compromising on excellence. Whether it’s a unique edition or a routine publication, our approach remains consistently flexible, ensuring your project is met with precision and timeliness.
- Specialist finishing and binding
Add the finishing touches that make your print project stand out from the rest. With specialist finishing, including lamination, foiling, and spot UV varnish, your magazines and catalogues will captivate your audience with every turn of the page. Our high-standard machines can handle spine widths from 1mm to 60mm, making them ideal for low-pagination magazines or high-end coffee table publications.
- Quality control
We perform a rigorous checking procedure at every stage of the operation. Our studio and press technicians check all jobs to print to ISO standards, ensuring that color and consistency are correct from the first to the last copy.
- End-to-end solution
Our comprehensive fulfilment and direct mail solutions are designed to simplify your mailing processes. Whether it’s automatic insertion, poly bagging, or paper wrapping, along with inkjet addressing and mail sort, our services offer a seamless packaging solution for posting your magazine or catalogue efficiently and affordably.
- Struggling with storage? Pick and pack service available
Our sophisticated inventory management system provides real-time tracking, ensuring you always have visibility into your stock levels, order history, and delivery schedules.
- Commitment to sustainability
We take pride in being a carbon-balanced printing company. We operate an Environmental Management System compliant with ISO 14001:2015 standards. We have a substantial solar array, currently supplying 20% of our total energy needs and are committed to expanding this array onto the roof of our new extension, further increasing our reliance on solar energy.
