Cover inspired by printers, for printers

10% discount on Print Cover + services for IPIA Members

To access this benefit:

To access you 10% discount on Print Cover + services and receive a quotation or discuss your needs please call or email quoting your IPIA Membership status in the subject line.

• 01623 889 525 / 01623 889 530
• abaguley@realinsurance.co.uk
• Realinsurance.co.uk

Print Cover + are a specialist insurance product designed specifically for the print industry with optional extensions if you install signage.

So why Print Cover + and not a standard printers Insurance?

Whilst traditionally the Liabilities needed for a Print Business tend to stop at the front door of the business premises, with the introduction of Signage to your portfolio means your liabilities need to extend further than this to cover the work you carry out away from your business premises too.

Not only will a standard print policy not cover installation, there is also the matter of using heat guns away from the premises, height limitations and covering tools and plant away from the business premises too.

Traditional Print policies also tend to be based on lower limits of indemnity such as £1,000,000 or £2,000,000 in respect of Public Liability Insurance as this has been sufficient for Printers however moving into Signage needs to see your Indemnity Limit raised to £5,000,000 as without this access may not be granted to install at certain business premises.

A traditional print policy will not provide the right cover for signage installation work and a traditional signage policy may be missing some of the all-important print extensions so Print Cover + has been put together to give all of the cover under one policy.

At Print Cover + we understand both the Print and Sign Industries and are fully aware of the additional covers required when those industries merge.

As fellow members of the IPIA we understand the importance of fast and efficient service and the importance to provide cover specifically designed for your industry.
