Fifty Years in the Making

Based on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, Impact Printing has been delivering expert design, print and publishing since 1970. Founded by Tommy McDonald and now five decades in, we’re still independent, still evolving and trusted by clients across multiple sectors. We believe a big impact doesn’t need a big agency—just the right people, the right know-how and a collaborative way of working.

We’re big enough to handle it all and small enough to give every job the attention it deserves. Whether you're an organisation, artist, local business or seasoned publisher, we’re here to make ideas happen in print.

When you work with us, you’re teaming up with people who care about the outcome as much as you do.

WHAT WE DO

SERVICES

Graphic Design

We design brand identities, campaign assets, printed materials, packaging, signage and more. Every element is built to align and communicate clearly across diverse formats.

Print Production

We offer digital, litho and large format printing, which allows us to produce a broad range of jobs, including business stationery, booklets, large signage displays, promotional print, packaging and more. We also offer special finishing, like foiling, die cutting, thermography, embossing and debossing. We can give you a steer as to the best print options for your project, timeline and budget.

Publishing

We design and publish books, catalogues, reports and zines. We handle layout, typesetting, print production, binding and finishing. This service is suited to self-publishers, galleries, cultural institutions and established presses.

How We Work

We keep things collaborative and well-communicated. You’ll always know what to expect and when to expect it. We agree on realistic timings and keep our promises.

When there’s a tight deadline, we’ll move mountains to meet it. We’re sticklers for the details—checking specs, rechecking proofs and making sure everything’s spot on before it goes to print.

What Matters To Us

We know it’s a competitive world. There’s always someone cheaper. But as our founder, Tommy, always said: “Quality and service are remembered long after price is forgotten.” That’s our benchmark. We love what we do and who we work with. And we’ve learned that a face-to-face chat—in the studio or over coffee—beats a hundred emails every time.

Who We Work With

We’ve worked with distilleries, public bodies, independent brands, sports clubs, charities, community organisations, schools and start-ups—supporting everyone from local legends to national names.
