A new store for printing.com@colourbox was launched at The Mount, in York, after a £35,000 dazzling pink and blue revamp of what was a grocery shop.
The York print franchise was established three years ago as a bolt-on division of designer firm Colourbox in Bishopthorpe Road and the two have been preparing for the physical separation for the past year.
Sam Whitton, design manager at printing.com@colourbox, said: "The trouble was that in Bishopthorpe Road there was no real on-street presence, apart from an A-board. Now Colourbox will concentrate on the big design projects from there and we will organise design and print of the likes of full colour orders from stationery to presentation folders, showcards to postcards.
Nick Waters, managing director of Colourbox, said: "Since taking on the printing.com franchise in 2002 we have built up a loyal and satisfied client base from our Colourbox studio in Bishopthorpe Road. However, our expansion to retain premises in The Mount will provide significantly greater exposure."
