Established in 1989, Artbox, one of the first companies to embrace the potential of postscript and led in digital artworking and repro. In 2002, the company rebranded to Custard Creative.

Most of the company’s business in the early days consisted of accurate digital artwork, supported by anologue proofing and imagesetting and became one of the counties leading DAR studios.

Founder, Sue Rust, has accumulated years of experience and was one of the first to encompass the new technology wave of postscript. With an appetite for technology and knowledge the company continues to lead in artwork techniques, design solutions and bureau facilities.

Our ongoing investments in new hardware and software ensure our design team have the best possible tools to hand ensuring you get the most from their time and your budget.

With growing clients demands custard creative team now includes graphic designers, typographers, pre-press technicians and print consultants. Extensive experience is displayed in our portfolio and includes many web projects that include design, coding, databases, reporting and order processing.

In 2001, Custard Creative moved to Moulton Park on the ring road of Northampton. The new premises offer ample free car parking with easy access and better facilities for customers.

In 2003, saw the company diversify further with the acquisition of a printing.com franchise, offering customers a complete "one-stop-shop" for design to print.
