Technoprint’s nominated charity: The Joshua Tree

Here at Technoprint, our community matters to us and we’re committed to supporting charities and organisations that are playing a vital role in improving lives and helping local people.

That’s why, each year, we nominate a charity that operates in the local area or that’s close to our hearts and doing amazing work.

This year, we’ve decided to support The Joshua Tree, a charity that provides crucial tailored support for families affected by childhood cancers across the North West and North Wales.

Technoprint’s sustainability progress in 2022-23

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do here at Technoprint and we’re constantly striving to improve the way in which we operate.

Despite operating in a difficult economic climate over the last year, we’ve been able to achieve positive strides as a business, whilst also making significant progress in achieving our sustainability objectives.

In this blog, we’ll explore the progress we’ve made over the last twelve months to achieve greater operational sustainability and responsibility.

Celebrating International Women’s Day 2023 at Technoprint

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate female achievements socially, political and economically but also be a day where we reflect on the challenges that are still to be overcome on the path to equality.

This year’s theme is #EmbraceEquity. By embracing equity, we must introduce measures that help to counteract the historic and social disadvantages that have prevented women from enjoying true equality.

In this blog, we look at International Women’s Day,

Employee Appreciation Day 2023

From the office team to those on production, there’s been a whole host of challenges that the team here at Technoprint have had to overcome during the last three years. With this in mind, to mark Employee Appreciation Day on 3rd March, we’ve dedicated our latest blog to our staff to show our gratitude for their constant dedication, skill and hard work.

In this blog, our general manager, Jacqui Morris takes us through what makes the team so brilliant.

International Women’s Day 2022 – what the day means to us

The 8th March marks an important date in the calendar: International Women’s Day (IWD). The day is a chance to celebrate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women and highlight the ongoing issues of gender inequality.

 

This year’s theme is #BreaktheBias. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias can make it difficult for women to move ahead.

 

To mark IWD some of the female-team at Technoprint have expressed their views on what the day means to them and who inspires them to be the women that they are today.

Terry the Technoprint Elf

Technoprint have a had a lovely festive surprise, Terry the Elf has been spared of his Christmas duties to come and help us!

Day 1

Just like any new starter, Terry must complete an induction to ensure he is fully aware of all safety and working practices. This ensures Terry and his colleagues remain safe and understand the importance of GMP, and our standards PS9000, ISO9001, ISO14001. We are glad to confirm Terry passed his GMP assessment with full marks!

Meet the team: Tom Hayes

We have a new Technoprofile blog for you this month. Introducing Tom Hayes, one of our newest recruits!

Having only worked here since September, Tom admits that he is still labelled as ‘the new guy’ by his colleagues. The ‘cool guy’ is his preferred nickname, however.

 

Tom’s role

Like Russ, who we introduced you to last month, Tom works within the production department in the heart of Technoprint’s operation.

Meet the team: Russ Heaton

Over the next few months, we’ll be introducing you to various members of the team on our blog.

Today we’re like you to meet Russ Heaton, one of our Production Technicians. He’s responsible for ensuring that our solutions, such as the Minutag™, Multiflet™, Pharmalite™, and Tech-Pack™, are used to create the best medical information leaflets.

Russ is a vital component in a production process that delivers an industry-leading level of service to our clients.

The future of the paper industry

It goes without saying that Technoprint relies heavily on paper. We use it to develop and manufacture all our medical information leaflets so that our customers can effectively inform patients on a variety of treatments.

But how sustainable is the paper industry, and what does the future look like? This month, we’re delving into the manufacturing, sourcing, and production of our leaflets.

 

How is paper made?

User information leaflets and vaping

Since being introduced to the UK in 2005, vaping has become widely viewed as a healthier alternative to smoking tobacco that still offers end-users access to nicotine and the familiar action of ‘smoking’. As a result of this, a growing number of companies now produce vaping devices and e-liquids.

However, manufacturers working in this industry are subject to rules and regulations surrounding packaging and the in-pack information issued to consumers. This is where our user information leaflets come in.
