OUR STORY
Proud to be family-owned & operated.
Speedy Print is a second-generation, family-owned and operated business!
Scotty spent his childhood learning the in’s and out’s of the industry, and the machinery, in the 23 years that his parents owned Speedy Print.
Prior to the Montauban van Swijndregt family, Speedy Print had already been serving the Nelson community for over a decade.
Scotty went on payroll at 14 years old, working full time since 16. He and his wife, Dani, officially took over the ownership of the company in 2014.

Our Sustainability
sustainable practices for future generations
We’re doing our best to make print as sustainable as possible.
These are the practices we currently have in place and are constantly researching and evaluating how we can improve.
sustainably-farmed resources
Paper is one of the worlds most renewable resources.
Speedy Print’s paper supplies come from manufacturers that use wood pulp from purpose planted tree farms that are well managed using sustainable practices.
Recycled Paper Stock
Speedy Print offers eco100 as a paper stock option. It is a first-class, environmentally responsible uncoated paper, produced using FSC® Certified, 100% Post-Consumer Recycled, PCF pulp. Manufactured under the strict ISO14001 Environmental Management System, eco100 boasts internationally recognised environmental accreditations - Blue Angel, Nordic and EU eco-labels and the Austrian Environmental Label.
Toner Cartridge Recycling
We recycle all our used printer cartridges, drums and fusers through our partnership with Fujifilm New Zealand.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Pretty standard practice nowadays. Print produces a lot of paper scraps and offcuts. We ensure these, along with any other recyclable waste, is recycled rather than refused.
In addition, we buy consumables and paper in bulk, and make as much of our own packaging in-house, in an effort to reduce our plastic use and carbon footprint.
We’re funding the planting of native nz trees
We’re working with Trees That Count to mitigate (parts of) our carbon footprint over the next 50 years, and help protect New Zealand’s threatened biodiversity. That’s good for our carbon footprint and good for Aotearoa.
We have decided to partner with Trees That Count in two ways:
- We have committed to funding the planting of one tree a month.
- We are giving our customers the opportunity to add a tree to their cart when purchasing with us. For every tree one of our customer funds, we will match your purchase. That’s the best two-for-one deal you’ve ever come across!

Welcome to a New World of Colour
Our COLOURS AND SPECIAL FINISHES
Extended Gamut
Speedy Print offers a broader range of colour than traditional CMYK printing with our speciality extended gamut ink. Get noticed with brighter, vibrant pinks, oranges, purples and more.
Metallic Inks
Nothing says luxury quite like gold or silver and our speciality metallic inks exude quality. Use them as a spot colour, or as an underlay to add maximum sparkle and sheen to your product.
White Ink
Create a white spot colour that attracts attention, or use it as an underlay to help other colours "pop" on our range of coloured and transparent stocks.
Colour Proofing
Can I see a proof?
Yes, we can proof your job; please note that there is an addition charge to do this.
Contact our team to discuss your needs.
Why do the printed colours look different from what I see on my screen?
Images displayed on a monitor are created by blending varying intensities of red, green and blue (RGB) light. CMYK prints are produced by combining varying degrees of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black) toner on paper. They are two completely different processes. Additionally, each monitor, software application and printer can interpret and reproduce these colours slightly differently. Therefore, you must adopt a colour managed workflow using consistent colour profiles. This consistency helps give you a more accurate indication of what your project will look like when printed.
D50 Environmental Lighting
At Speedy Print, we’ve set up most of our building to meet D50 lighting conditions so that when you come in to view your printed proofs, you’re seeing an accurate representation of the colour.
ISO 3664:2009 specifies the CIE illuminant D50 with a correlated colour temperature of approximately 5000° Kelvin as the standard illuminant to be used as a light source for viewing and assessing colour for the graphic technologies and photography.
Colour is the result of interaction between light, an object, and a viewer. The sensation of colour is achieved as unique combinations of wavelengths of light are transmitted, reflected, or emitted to the viewer. Since the properties of light are a primary component of colour, and different lighting conditions will produce differences in colour rendition, it is vital that critical colour assessment is conducted within viewing conditions where lighting is standardised, and components affecting the viewing environment are carefully controlled. Colour decisions can only be made and communicated accurately if all participants involved utilise internationally standardized viewing (which includes lighting) conditions.
