Case studies
Anonymised

The kind of work we take on, told honestly.

These are anonymised write-ups drawn from real projects. We do not name clients without permission and we do not invent metrics, so each piece describes the brief, what we did, and how it turned out in plain terms. Named write-ups will appear here as clients sign them off.

Selected work

Four projects, anonymised but real.

From personalised school runs in the hundreds to corporate gifting at volume and bulk laser engraving. Different briefs, the same Huddersfield workshop and the same quality control behind each one.

Education

A primary school, end-of-year keepsakes

The brief

A primary school wanted a personalised keepsake for every pupil to mark the end of the year. Each item had to carry the individual child’s name, in a colour they had chosen, across the better part of a thousand children.

What we did
  • Worked directly with teachers and parents to collect each name and colour choice, then turned the list into a clean production queue.
  • Split the run across multiple machines in parallel so the whole year group could be produced inside the school’s deadline.
  • Checked every item against its name and colour at QC before sorting, so each child received exactly the piece meant for them.
The outcome

Every pupil received a keepsake with their own name and colour, delivered as one batch in time for the last day of term. The school came back to talk about repeating it the following year.

Corporate gifting

A tech employer, branded gifts for an internal event

The brief

An employer wanted a useful, branded gift to hand to staff at an internal event, something better than the usual conference giveaway and produced at enough volume to cover everyone attending.

What we did
  • Produced branded phone stands carrying the company’s mark, finished to a consistent standard across the full run.
  • Held colour and finish steady from the first unit to the last, so the gift looked the same in every hand.
  • Packed and delivered ahead of the event date, with the timeline agreed up front rather than left to chance.
The outcome

Staff received a practical, on-brand gift rather than a throwaway one. The employer later asked about a second run to send to its own customers.

Corporate gifting

A growing brand, personalised gifts for its customers

The brief

A company wanted to thank its own customers with a personalised gift rather than a generic one, which meant individualising items at volume without the cost or wait of bespoke design on each.

What we did
  • Set up a repeatable personalisation process so each gift could carry an individual detail while still running as a single production batch.
  • Used calibrated farm profiles so the personalised items matched each other in quality regardless of which machine produced them.
  • Coordinated despatch so the gifts arrived together, ready to send on to the company’s customers.
The outcome

The company was able to send a personalised gift at a volume a single machine could not have reached, with the per-item quality held consistent across the run.

Laser engraving

A B2B buyer, bulk engraved awards and branded merchandise

The brief

A business buyer needed a batch of engraved awards and branded merchandise, the kind of bulk laser work that sits alongside the engraved items the shop already produces day to day.

What we did
  • Engraved the artwork onto the chosen materials, tuning depth and contrast to the supplier specification rather than assuming a single setting.
  • Ran the batch to a uniform finish so every award and every piece of merchandise matched across the order.
  • Finished, checked, and packed the run in-house in Huddersfield, ready for the buyer’s own deadline.
The outcome

The buyer received a consistent set of engraved awards and merchandise from a single supplier, part of the bulk B2B engraving the business is actively expanding into.


Why these are anonymised

We would rather publish an honest, anonymised account of real work than dress up a placeholder with invented logos and numbers. The projects above are genuine patterns of work we take on, written without naming clients or claiming figures we cannot stand behind. Where a client gives permission, a named write-up with their own results will take the place of one of these.

Working on something similar? We are happy to discuss it in confidence.
