Acon was set up in the mid 70's as a manufacturer of strip steel cutters for Leicester's blossoming shoe trade. Justin joined in 1995 to run the wood forme side. It was soon discovered that the shoe industry was no longer the power it was.
After a short time, we were asked to do the print finishing along with the cutters and Acon Print Finishing came into being. We now service with prototypes, cutters, die cutting, Laminating, Encapsulating, Mounting, Gluing and all other print related things.
From die-cutting to packaging design, we provide a complete range of precision finishing solutions tailored to the needs of printers and trade professionals.
