Our History

Ralph Allen Press has been a commercial printer in Bath since 1925, and we have come a long way since our humble beginnings. Over the past 80+ years, we have grown and adapted to the changing landscape, embracing new technology and advancements in the industry. In 2006, we moved to our current location on Locksbrook Road, which allowed us to accommodate our growth and increased workload.

We have a rich history of providing quality printing services, and we take pride in our heritage. We still utilise our Heidelberg Cylinder, which was state-of-the-art in the 1960s and remains a valuable piece of equipment in our printing process. This machine exemplifies our commitment to quality and our ability to adapt and evolve with the times.
