Karra Design & Print is a family run business that provides Quality at Competitive prices. We provide Graphic Design, Web Design, Litho & Digital Print Services...

Clients of Karra Design & Print are not just ‘customers’ who are sent invoices…they are included as part of a team that is involved at every stage of a project, from taking time over design to approving the finished product. And every project is tailored to meet particular needs and delivered to even the tightest of deadlines. It means mutually beneficial personal relationships are built that underpin superior quality and dependable service.

The Karra Design & Print approach to customer care is based on the simple promise of taking an extra step to make sure everyone is comfortable & relaxed about what they want, when they want it and that they receive more than value for their money.

Karra has an expanding portfolio of clients throughout the UK. In a very short period we have been able to build an impressive client list which ranges from small to medium businesses, large Corporate Institutions, Chambers, Schools, Colleges, Photographers,  Fashion Houses, Media Industry, NHS, Charities, local and central government. We also supply to over 300 food outlets in the UK.

Our approach demonstrates a commitment to offering cost-effective solutions without compromise on quality and a responsible approach to the environment, helping clients to increase revenue and gain a competitive advantage. We have virtually unrivalled ability to work faster, smarter and more cost effectively for you.

As a result of Karra’s policy to continue investing in staff and the latest technology to maximize quality and efficiency, the company has invested a million pounds to acquire a state of the art printing machines and environmentally friendly pre-press equipment and stitching lines.

So next time if you need stationery or a flyer or a brochure then why not call us. We are an ISO 9001:2008 registered firm, members of the Birmingham Chamber, approved suppliers of Business Link and British Association for Print Communication (BAPC) members.

Karra Design & Print is a company that is proud to have high ethical standards, as such we draw a definite line when it comes to promotional material for Drugs or Weapons or material that could incite racial hatred. 

We have very strong community links and are committed to supporting charitable work, with a yearly budget allocated to this. We particularly enjoy working with local schools and societies. 

We do reserve the right to refuse to design or print any item that is in breach of our Ethical Stance.

Making promises is easy. Delivering on time is what counts in reality. From the very beginning our success has been based on our commitment and ability to meet the needs of our clients in four key areas.

Service
High levels of service can only be provided by people with professional training, attitudes and skills. Our team is dedicated to delivering the highest possible level of client care from beginning to completion on every piece of work.

Flexibility
The needs of each client are important. We understand that everyone has requirements that are unique to them. Understanding those needs and responding to them is fundamental to our approach.

Quality
No matter how good the people, the equipment they have at their disposal are crucial. At Karra Design & Print we have an ongoing commitment to implement state of the art technology, backed by proven quality and production control methodologies.

Timing
Good work is only useful if it is on time. As one of Birmingham’s leading independent printers, we understand and relish every deadline and respond with a sense of urgency, striving to deliver what every client needs on time, every time.

We’ll guide you through our easy process and help you better promote yourself. We can give you as much or as little help as you need – from the concept, to writing copy, choosing photography and creating eye-catching artwork. We’re all well-versed in marketing, and aren’t just here to sell you printing. Helping you business grow is a key goal of Karra’s.

When you’ve approved your order, it’s instantly transferred to our Production department. We’ve invested over £1m in state-of-the-art technology to make every process as efficient as possible. Most processes are done in-house to make us more responsive and our industrial presses print to the quality you’d expect from expensive, commercial printers. We’ve made full colour affordable to everyone. In fact, many of our set-price deals cost less than equivalent one or two-colour print from a traditional printer.
