Discover Our Engineering Precision And Cutting-Edge Print Finishing.

Who We Are

Acon was set up in the mid 70's as a manufacturer of strip steel cutters for Leicester's blossoming shoe trade. Justin joined in 1995 to run the wood forme side. After a short time, we were asked to do the print finishing along with the cutters Acon Print Finishing came into being. We now service with prototypes, cutters, die cutting, Laminating, Encapsulating, Mounting, Gluing and all other print related things.

We Specialise In Delivering Top-Notch Print Finishing, Cutting Formes, And Packaging Services.

Here at APF, one of the main services we offer is cardboard engineering and CAD design. After taking a detailed brief from the customer, our experienced team use their technical knowledge and the cutter expertise to produce a bespoke prototype or mock-up of the product.

This can be produced either in plain card or fully printed allowing our clients to see a very low cost example in one of the final finished designs before full production begins.

This process plays a vital role in offering dimensions, checking structural integrity, and ensuring that the design is both practical and visually effective. Any adjustments can be made at this stage, saving time and reducing costs further down the line.

The video below demonstrates our sample maker machine, precisely cutting and creasing the cardboard prepacked equipment to create a high-quality mock-up.

This hands-on detail-focused approach ensures that every sample accurately represents the final product and meets the customer's exact requirements.
