Sovereign Press Printing produces premium full colour printing results, offering the greatest in colour sharpness and vibrance, with a minimum of bleed. We use the lithographic process as the optimal solution to balancing time and affordability with price, producing works in the most efficient way possible while still retaining quality.
Metallic printing
Use metallic prints to add even more intensity, colour and depth to your images. Metallic photos are made on laminate paper that generates a metallic, iridescent quality, removing glare in the same way that matte paper does, while still containing the luster and vibrance of a glossy print. Metallic prints are also extremely durable and are much less likely to smudge or become damaged.
Aqueous inline varnish
Printing varnishes are used to protect prints from tears, rubbing, fingerprints and other forms of wear and tear, and are now a standard element of the printing process. We offer aqueous coatings that are water based and fast drying as a more economic solution in comparison to more time consuming varnishes. As well as providing protection, coatings add an additional “classier” look to prints that are now the norm.
Matte/Gloss Lamination
Lamination is used in printing to provide an extra layer of protection to materials as well adding an attractive finish, adding texture, depth and vibrance to a design. Both gloss and matte lamination involves using an adhesive thermoplastic polymer which is pressed by hot rollers to the paper. Gloss is the shiny, reflective look often used in fashion and photography. While cheaper than matte lamination, the strong glare that often results can be offputting to some consumers. Matte lamination is more expensive but has the benefit of reflecting less light and absorbing more glare.
Spot UV
UV coating uses ultraviolet radiation to instantly “cure” prints, both protecting the print as well as giving it a classy glossy look. Spot UV coating is unique in that it can be used on specific features of a print in order to make it stand out, giving it an extra element of depth and detail. This is usually used for elements of a print that you want the eye to be attracted to, such as the logo or point of sale.
Embossing
Embossing is the technique of using heat and pressure to create a raised 3D effect on paper or metal, creating an attractive and tactile addition to a print. Often used on type and logos, embossing imparts elegance and sophistication, and draws the eye to the elements of a print that you desire.
Foiling
Foiling or foil stamping is simply the application of pigment or metallic foil to a design. While all colours can be used, gold or silver are the most popular choices, as they impart a feeling of wealth and class, reminiscent of classical gold binding. Foiling can be used for both titles, small and large text, borders and logos and other designs. Foiling can also be combined with embossing to create an even more striking 3D design.
Form Cutting/perfing/scoring
We offer superb expertise in custom cutting techniques for commercial prints, creating unique and eye-catching designs. In an environment saturated by media and advertising, a unique shape or appearance could be just the thing that makes your design stands out.

Everyone has their special memory of family barbecues when they were younger, with dad at the helm turning the meat. A spit roast can be described as the ultimate barbecue for an evening of socializing be it with friends or family. This is because the rotisserie serves as a centerpiece for the evening as well as a handy conversation starter. One of the greatest benefits of a spit roast is the ease of use compared to that of a traditional barbecue. No more slaving over a hot grill hoping that the meat is just right. The rotisserie takes care of even heat distribution as well as leaving the “cooks” hands free to actually enjoy the party.The only thing that a chef needs to concentrate on is the basting of the meat and veggies on the spit, one might favour a smokey hickory baste, or maybe a special family recipe. The options are boundless and only limited to ones imagination.
