A design and print company has landed a tasty contract.

PrintPod, based at Huddersfield’s Media Centre, has won the contract to design and print the marketing material for this year’s Huddersfield Food & Drink Festival.

The company was chosen not only for the quality of its environmentally-friendly print, but also for its creative design skills.

The festival, which will run from August 7 to 10, is Yorkshire’s largest free food festival, last year attracting more than 100,000 visitors to St George’s Square over four days.

Karen Hobson, of Huddersfield Partnership, who is organising and promoting the event, said that PrintPod’s design was chosen because it reflected the partnership’s new brand, which was a vibrant development of the brand that PrintPod established in 2010 for the festival’s 10th anniversary.

PrintPod director Richard Armitage said: “Winning the Food & Drink Festival account is testament to the design skills offered by PrintPod, as well as our green credentials.”

The Food & Drink Festival is not the only local organisation to turn to PrintPod for design and print.

For the second year running, the company has designed and printed the programme for Honley Show, which takes place on June 14.

It was also charged with the design and print of the brochures, posters, roller banners and a bespoke display banner for this year’s Huddersfield Literature Festival.

Festival director Michelle Hodgson said: “This is the second year we’ve used PrintPod, and while the company’s green credentials were an important factor, we were very impressed with the quality of the design, which worked effectively across a range of marketing material.”

For the past three years, PrintPod has also serviced the design and print needs of the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner, held in October.
