Our Present
At Leyprint, our focus isn’t solely on the end product. To truly deliver the best and most cost-effective solutions, we feel that getting to know our customers and their individual print and packaging needs is just as important. With more than one hundred years of experience, we combine the traditional values of a family run business with contemporary design ideas and cutting edge technology.
Located in Leyland, Lancashire on a site covering 130,000 square feet, we are conveniently located to reach all areas of the UK. We are a progressive and enthusiastic packaging group with a talented workforce and a reputation for reliability which is second to none.
Leyprint operates to the British Retail Consortium / Institute of Packaging Standard (BRC).
Our Past
Leyprint was established as a printing company in Leyland in 1901 and over a century later it is still run by the great grandchildren of the original founder Thomas Edward Mould. The business occupied a number of sites in Leyland and Preston over the early years until settling at the current location of Leyland Lane in 1956. The company operated as a commercial printer with subsidiaries involved in book publishing, under the guise of Ditchfield British Books, and letterpress type casting through Mouldtype Foundry Limited. During the early 70’s Leyprint began producing packaging and today the Company is almost exclusively a printed folding carton manufacturer.
Our Future
The Company plans to move forward with investment in not only plant and machinery in the coming year but also in the people currently employed in the form of new training programs and development courses. Plans are also in place to increase the workforce over the next 18 months as the organisation moves into the next stages of its current strategy which will culminate in the business relocating to a purpose built site.
