Our Services

Over the years we have built a great expertise in what we do and also how to do things best. The foundations of this expertise are our highly skilled and experienced team and the extensive in-house print and finishing solutions at our Harrow factory.

Our continuous focus is to satisfy our customers needs and exceed their expectations. This is what drives us forward. It is with our customers in mind that we continuously invest in modern print and finishing technology and web2print software solutions.

In fact the direction of our expansion is often driven by our customers. Number of times in the past, their creative ideas have lead to us developing custom solutions to make these ideas a reality. This is what we believe makes us very different from other print companies and allows us to stand out from the print crowd.

And when need to use external help to fulfill some of our customers needs, we reach out to one of our trustworthy business partners to use their expertise.

Testimonials

I have worked with Allstar for over 20 years. Long term business relationships are founded in trust and Allstar have never failed to deliver our print needs. We have given some short deadlines and the team have consistently delivered to a very high standard and always on time. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I have published from this company multiple times and not once have I been disappointed. The service is excellent! The quality of the products is to a high standard. They pay very close attention to my needs/concerns to which I have repeatedly received exceptional results at such a great price. They frequently communicate with the customer and are transparent with the entire process, making you feel involved every step of the way. The staff are very friendly and welcoming - especially Shreya who has processed all my requests in a timely fashion. They have not missed a single deadline! I highly recommend this publishing company to my friends, family, and quite frankly, everyone!

Thanks so much for yet another year of great quality, service and support with the yearbooks for Year 11 and Year 13 along with the hoodies ,excellent quality as always. It’s been great working with you over the last 5 or so years and I look forward to working with you in the future.
