Essdee are proud to be sponsoring Print Day in May for the third year running. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of artists and printmakers, so PDiM is a fantastic opportunity for us to help encourage people to get printing.
We are a UK manufacturer of lino printing and scraperboard products. To achieve our mission to inspire the next generation of printmakers, we ensure that our innovative products make block printing accessible to a wider range of age groups and abilities, from affordable starter kits to inventive and patented tools and accessories.
We are a multi-generational family business based in Worcestershire, England. We offer our products to retailers, distributors, schools and other businesses around the globe, and we are proud to fly the flag for British manufacturing.
Our products include lino, lino cutters and sets, block printing inks, rollers, barens, scraperboard and fabric printing. Our full range can be found on our website along with ‘How To’ guides, interviews with inspirational printmakers and instructional videos. We also feature inspiring artwork from new and established printmakers on our social media pages.
The Environment
We not only want to inspire artists and printmakers to create artwork, we also want to inspire them to protect the environment.
Our lino is made from natural ingredients, including linseed oil and wood flour, and is biodegradable. Our inks are water-based and free of toxins, our products are all latex free, and our lino printing products are vegan friendly.
70% of our electricity is generated from the solar panels on our roof, we recycle our waste lino and Softcut back into the manufacturing process, and we have replaced plastic packaging with recyclable cardboard and biodegradable wrapping.
Our new product range, linoprinting onto fabric, provides a great opportunity for customers to reuse existing fabric (such as old t-shirts or cushion covers) to create a bespoke and unique piece of clothing or item of soft furnishing.
