Totally Branded secures second Inkcups X5 flatbed printer, funded by Close Brothers Asset Finance

Our Print team has funded a state-of-the-art Inkcups X5 flatbed printer for Totally Branded as they look to keep up with increased demand for direct-to-object printing and broaden the range of substrates they are able to print on

With its additional capacity, the X5 will replace five existing machines as the Swaffham-based printer continues to grow strongly – over the past three years the business has quadrupled in size.

 

Adam Baldwin, Area Sales Manager for Close Brothers Asset Finance’s print team, said: “This is the second X5 we’ve funded for Totally Branded. The first one proved so successful and led to that many additional contracts they made the decision to purchase another to ensure they could fulfil these.

 

“The low deposit requirement effectively ring-fenced cash for buying stock aggressively to help them keep up with their growth. In addition, the seasonal repayments will match their income.

 

“It’s been a genuine pleasure getting to know the team at Totally Branded, which is a family-owned business, run by three brothers Taylor, Mitchell and Cody Tassie alongside their dad, Trevor. I look forward to working with them in the future as they continue their growth journey.”

 

Cody Tassie, Head of Production and Operations, Totally Branded, added: “The new machines have been a game changer, and we’re delighted to have partnered with Close Brothers Asset Finance to get the printers on site and in use.

 

“The team really know and understand the print and promotional merchandise sector and as young entrepreneurs, it’s critical we choose the right partners who will help and advise us along the way.”

 

Nick Macfarlane, Regional Sales Representative UK and Ireland, Inkcups, said: “The X5 is highly versatile and allows you to print direct to flat and hard goods of various sizes. After the success of the first machine, we were really pleased when we got the call asking us to supply a second printer.

 

“This clearly demonstrates the X5®’s reliability, robustness and ability to produce quality prints despite near constant use as well as its suitability for meeting growing demand for direct-to-object printing.

 

“It’s been a pleasure working with both Close Brothers Asset Finance and Totally Branded.”
