Why us?
Hello, we’re Chroma… your local Theale based print partner. At Chroma we see ourselves as more than just a print company. We are brand guardians and runners of the extra mile, taking pride in the work we do. We place our clients’ interests at the forefront of everything we do, allowing us to carry out the best possible service we can.
You may be thinking… Why do I need a local print partner? Having a local printer opens a range of different benefits. From more control over your projects, greater flexibility and supporting the local community.
Greater flexibility
Maintaining a positive relationship and being in close proximity of your print partner allows for more control over your print projects.
- Face-to-face meetings to discuss different aspects of your project.
- Easier to receive physical proofs of your project before it hits the press.
- Regular catch-up meetings when required to keep you up to date and us on point.
- Addressing any concerns face-to-face helping to reduce the chance of miscommunication.
- Managing quality control yourself by visiting the factory.
Quicker turnaround and delivery times
By being a stone’s throw away from your office allows for that turnaround time to be quicker, eliminating the time and cost of delivery. This can be the difference between your print projecting hitting or missing your deadline.
Another option is being able to collect your print when its fresh off the press, this means no more waiting or relying on external shipping and courier companies.
If you’re within a 10 mile radius of us, Chroma can print and deliver some projects within on the same day, 24 and 48 hour lead times.
It's cost effective!
Working with a local print supplier can be more cost effective in the short and long run! This can be down to removing things like minimum order quantities or delivery fees.
As well as this, local suppliers can be more accommodating to scenarios such as last-minute changes or orders on a tight timeframe. This can be more cost efficient when using a local supplier rather than a long-distance supplier who may charge a premium for rush projects and next/same day delivery fees.
Creating a long-standing relationship
Creating long-standing relationships locally will only benefit you in the long run. Over time your local printer will create an understanding on the types of requirements you specifically need. This cuts out the tedious back and forth over e-mails and allows your print projects to be processed and completed quicker.
This also means a more personalised and tailored service will develop over time.

Supporting the local economy
Having a local print supplier has a positive impact on the local environment too. Being local eliminates the need for long-haul deliveries. This supports the decrease in emissions and reduces your carbon footprint, from production to being with you.
At Chroma we use an Electric van for all deliveries within a 50 mile radius, helping us to improve and reduce our carbon footprint. This on top of all the other benefits must make it a no brainer. Right?
