Wellington-based Wendy began online service Niche Print as a way to provide her clients with accurately scaled sewing patterns and printed materials. This was born of her need for properly scaled sewing patterns, and a frustration at how time consuming it was to tape and stick individual pages together to create patterns before she got to actually sewing. We hear you Wendy!

As standard, Niche offers to print large format documents from A2 through to A0, as well as US copyshop 36″ wide files. With A0 printing from just $7.50 per page, this is a great service to make use of for those needing printing in the Wellington area, and country wide (Wendy can courier your patterns!).

We love that Wendy approaches printing with a conscience for the environment, and where possible she uses sustainably sourced paper, water based inks and compostable or recyclable packaging and postage materials. Awesome!
