Breast Cancer UK Calendar

Heyford Fields Marina Calendar for Breast Cancer UK

/in

We are thrilled to present this wonderful calendar, thoughtfully organised by Sue Winters in support of Breast Cancer UK.

The remarkable women featured are all part of Heyford Fields Marina. Creating this calendar involved a lot of time, dedication, and plenty of fun during the photo sessions—helped along by a few glasses of Prosecco for some added courage!

The calendar was beautifully designed by the talented Matt McDonald, and we then printed a sample copy for approval. After it was approved, we proudly donated the printing, and GM Finishing generously provided the wiro binding.

It has been a true pleasure to collaborate with Sue and Bob on this project, and we are incredibly proud to support such a worthy cause. Being Breast Cancer Awareness Month makes this extra special!

To purchase a calendar (£7.50 each), please contact us or Robert Winters.

We are excited to announce that we have successfully calculated our carbon footprint in collaboration with Eight Versa, an environmental consultancy. After submitting all energy usage and carbon footprint data, we have now obtained certification (verified by Natural Carbon Solutions).

Now that we understand our carbon impact, we are working on identifying areas of high impact, as well as opportunities and strategic actions to reduce our carbon footprint. This will also help us set targets for the future.

Our assessment includes Scope 1 (Greenhouse Gas), Scope 2 (Electricity), and Scope 3 (All other emissions, including investments, upstream and downstream responsibilities, waste, and end-of-life considerations for all our products).

Mounter - MRP

MRP invests in the latest state-of-the-art Laminator

/in

In-line with our continued investment plan, we are excited to announce the recent installation of our Fengchi High-Speed Laminator – GW-1450L, which replaces our previous Lamina Laminator. This machine offers greater versatility, productivity and efficiency. It is specifically designed for sheet-to-sheet mounting of paper to board and board to board, both solid and corrugated.

With a running speed in excess of 10,000 sheets per hour, this laminator has the ability to mount two sheets of board together in various thicknesses as well as paper to board. It can also mount various substrates to open or closed-faced corrugated board. The laminator has full servo control with edge-to-edge registration accuracy and automatic feeding.

The machine also comes with a ‘Flip Flop Stacker’ that automatically turns the sheets to prevent curling, with no effect on running speed, something that was previously completed manually and did adversely affect the machine output.

We believe that this machine will provide better options to our clients, improve turnaround times, and also create opportunities in new markets. Subscription boxes are on the rise, and our clients are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly options, moving away from plastic packaging.

All CAD design, printing, mounting, die-cutting, and gluing take place at our Nottingham site. We also offer full self-adhesive label and ribbon printing, maintaining colour consistency across all your printed products.

To keep up with the latest technologies, we have also recently invested in the state-of-the-art Sanwa 1060 S.C.B. Axia blacking and die-cutting press and two advanced packers for the gluing machines.

Midland Regional Printers are committed to quality and service, holding both the ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations, as well as FSC certified. We also plant trees for every order received. We take pride in the company’s structure, staying up-to-date with technology, and our fully integrated plant, which enables us to be versatile and meet customer requirements.

Grow My Tree Partnership

MRP partnership with GROW MY TREE

/in

We are proud to share our latest and very exciting news with you.

Sustainability has always been at the very heart of what we do here at MRP, we are on a mission to help fight climate change which is why we are very proud to be partnering with GROW MY TREE!

We have already planted 4,000 trees – neutralising a massive 88,000 CO2! For every order you place with us (no matter how big or small), we will plant a tree just for you. Our aim is to plant at least a further 4,000 trees this year.

GROW MY TREE works with countries in the Global South to plant trees where the environmental, social and economic leverage is greatest – ensuring all plantings are fair, sustainable and certified. Only trees native to that area with high survival rates are planted to protect the local flora and fauna – this also helps guarantee the long-term survival of the trees. Every tree is certified for full traceability.

The trees are planted in collaboration with local farmers, this generates income and supports local communities. Cultural traditions and the needs of the local communities are strictly taken into account, along with high ethical standards and fair wages.

With your help, we would like to plant as many trees as possible and we would like to thank you for helping us achieve what we have so far!

As these trees are planted from your orders, we can send you a personalised certificate for the number of trees you have helped plant over the last year, as well as future orders going forward.

If you would like to find out more about buying or gifting trees please feel free to contact us or see www.growmytree.com
