Elanders UK secures deal to maintain print partnership

Print and packaging supplier Elanders UK has been named print partner for the fifth consecutive year with educational maths and science resources provider White Rose Education.

North-Tyneside based Elanders, part of Swedish-owned Elanders Group, has printed 24.1 million workbooks for White Rose since 2020, which has seen its revenue for print grow from zero to £6 million in four years.

White Rose Education, based in West Yorkshire, creates resources sold in 140 countries and used in 40 per cent of UK secondary schools and 80 per cent of primary schools.

It has seen significant growth in demand for its products since the pandemic, when it printed its previously digital-only resources for the first time.

Adam Phillips​​​​, site manager at White Rose Education, said: “Our expansion into printed products has surpassed all our expectations.

“We’ve gone from printing a few hundred workbooks to printing 60,000 to 80,000 of each title each year, and we couldn’t have done it without Elanders.

“It’s a true partnership because they listen and understand our business.

“They’re also very responsive and troubleshoot any issues in real time.”
