Print fulfilment is the complete process of receiving, sourcing, printing, assembling, storing and distributing your materials. At Birch, this can include everything from printed matter and branded merchandise to complex kitting projects that combine multiple items into one pack. We handle print-to-order production, call-off from pre-printed stock, and large-scale campaign fulfilment, ensuring every item is produced to the right specification, packed securely and dispatched on time.

We operate from our secure 27,000 ft² warehouse in Ilkeston, offering storage for printed materials, branded merchandise and campaign kits. Our inventory management service includes real-time stock monitoring, regular reporting and agreed re-order triggers to avoid stockouts. Whether you need short-term holding between print runs or long-term storage for call-off orders, our skilled pick-and-pack team ensures accurate, efficient handling so your items are ready to go when you need them.

We offer a full range of UK delivery solutions, including next-day, timed and same-day services. Our preferred courier is DPD, chosen for its excellent service levels, one-hour delivery window notifications and carbon-neutral deliveries that align with our sustainability ethos. All deliveries are tracked with courier consignment numbers provided for full visibility. Our multi-carrier approach ensures we can select the best option for each job, aligning dispatch windows with your campaign schedule. For local deliveries within 20 miles of our HQ, we also use our own van to maintain flexibility and control.

Yes. We regularly manage large-scale fulfilment projects involving high volumes, multiple product types and complex packing requirements. This can include assembling multi-item kits, handling nationwide campaign rollouts and coordinating timed deliveries to multiple locations. Our facilities, skilled team and established processes mean we can scale quickly to meet demanding schedules without compromising accuracy or quality.

No. Our fulfilment service is fully scalable, from a single one-off pack to a complex national campaign. We tailor our approach to the size, complexity and timing of your project, ensuring you get the same attention to detail whether you are calling off a small quantity from stock or coordinating a high-volume distribution.

Quality control is built into every stage of our process. From checking materials as they arrive, to following agreed packing specifications and carrying out final dispatch checks, we make sure every item meets your requirements. Our fulfilment team works to clear instructions and signed-off samples where applicable, and our in-house control of printing, storage and packing reduces the risk of delays or errors.

Our large warehouse capacity, experienced logistics team and multi-carrier delivery network allow us to scale operations quickly during peak periods. We plan schedules in advance, allocate additional resources where needed and coordinate closely with our couriers to maintain agreed delivery dates, even when volumes are high.

Yes, we can arrange international deliveries, but there are important considerations. Recent changes under the Windsor Framework for shipping to Ireland, along with the ongoing complexities from Brexit, can result in delays, additional customs checks and unexpected receiver fees. These issues affect shipments across Europe and the rest of the world and are outside our control. Where possible, we recommend that international deliveries are managed directly by the client to minimise these risks, but we are happy to step in if required.

We track stock levels through our inventory management system and provide regular reports so you can see exactly what you have on hand. Reorder alerts can be set at agreed thresholds to ensure materials are replenished before they run out. This applies to both printed materials and branded merchandise, whether stored for ongoing call-off or campaign-specific fulfilment.

Our Ilkeston fulfilment centre is fully secure, with monitored CCTV coverage, controlled access points and strict stock handling procedures. Only authorised personnel have access to stored goods, and sensitive or high-value items can be kept in designated secure areas for additional protection.

Yes. We can work with your existing e-commerce platform or order management system to streamline order processing and fulfilment. This can range from simple manual order imports to more advanced automated solutions, depending on your requirements and system capabilities. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible so orders flow smoothly from your platform to our fulfilment operation.

Yes. We can align dispatch with your campaign timelines and select premium courier options such as pre-midday or pre-10:30am deliveries when a tighter delivery window is required. We can also coordinate phased or split shipments so materials reach multiple locations in line with your schedule.
