How Venture Banners built its success with CMYUK & EFI
Venture Banners, a trade-only large-format print supplier, has grown into an industry leader over the past 15 years. Initially outsourcing all production from 2009 to 2012, the company took a pivotal step in 2013 by investing in its first EFI VUTEk printer—guided by CMYUK’s expertise. This decision transformed the business, enabling in-house production and setting the stage for long-term growth.
By 2014, Venture Banners had expanded its EFI fleet, but a catastrophic flood tested its resilience. With EFI’s outstanding backup, the company kept operations running, reinforcing its commitment to quality and reliability. Originally specialising in banners, Venture Banners quickly diversified, moving into roller banners and flags. As demand grew, the business invested in its first EFI FabriVU 340, marking the start of its journey into textile printing.
Today, Venture Banners operates seven EFI VUTEk printers, including the h5, GS3250r, FabriVU 340, and FabriVU 340i+. The EFI FabriVU series, in particular, has been a game changer, offering exceptional speed, quality, and efficiency. The 340 models are serviced by a Klieverik calendar press, while the latest EFI FabriVU 340i + has integrated in-line fixation.
Beyond printing, Venture Banners has built a strong finishing department with 2 x digital cutting tales. Its sewing team has expanded from just one person to nine skilled professionals. The quality of finishing has become a point of pride, reflecting the company’s dedication to quality.
The partnership with CMYUK has been instrumental in its journey. CMYUK’s deep understanding of Venture Banners’ needs has guided every major investment, ensuring the right machines are chosen for the right tasks. EFI’s industrial-grade reliability, innovation, and sustainability have further solidified its role in the company’s success.
Looking ahead, Venture Banners plans to invest further in new machinery, sustainable materials, and expanded product ranges — continuing its evolution as a cutting-edge trade print supplier.
