How we’re different

Four things most shops don’t do.

The price is on the screen

One rate card. Setup per line, spread across your quantity.

A batch of one is normal

Minimum line charge £8.95 ex VAT, £10.74 inc.

Cut, folded, welded, coated in-house

One job card, not four suppliers.

We flag a drawing that won’t work

Holes too small, features too close. Before you pay.

LiveSmallest hole is 3.6 mm. On 6 mm we can hold 4.8 mm — anything tighter won't pierce cleanly.
RuleOn 6 mm the smallest hole we will cut is 4.8 mm, and we want at least 6 mm between features.
