The Surface Print Company

was founded by John Watson in 1989 to supply the growing number of fabric companies who required coordinated wallpapers and borders to compliment their fabric ranges.

Very few companies were able to provide the vital service requirements for short production runs (minimum order of 150 rolls per colourway of a design), short lead times and rapid delivery schedules.

Four Generations of the Watson family have worked in the wallpaper industry originating in Darwen Lancashire. The traditional surface print method, pioneered in Darwen over 150 years ago, is continued at The Surface Print Company which is one of the few remaining companies able to offer this high quality and flexible technique.A truly family business in the broadest sense of the phrase, treating each of its customers with care and consideration.

The printing staff and colour mixers, many of whom have worked for well over 30 years in the surface printing business, are probably the most experienced in the U.K. As a result the overall workforce is trained to the highest standards available in the industry.
