Reid Printers

Gavin Watson Printers were founded over 150 years ago in 1863, halfway through Queen Victoria's reign, when Bismarck ruled Prussia and Napoleon the Third was Emperor of France. The business remained in the Watson family until after the Second World War and was believed to be the first company in Scotland to purchase a lithography printing press which was used to initially specialise in the printing of ornate share certificates. Over the years, the company has gained an enviable reputation in the wet glue label market for all aspects of its customer service. After considerable investment and hard work from all our staff over the last few years we have gained a formidable reputation for being one of the best wet glue label and commercial printers in the UK! From our purpose built factory south of Glasgow, we currently produce in excess of 1.3 billion wet glue applied labels annually for clients such as Highland Spring Group, Nestle UK, AG Barr Plc, Diageo, Innocent, Britvic and Baxters Food Group to name but a few. Our in-house computerised Management Information System ensures that potential problems never become problematic! It is a system which enables us to know everything there is to know about the job from outset to delivery. The details of the job are thoroughly monitored to enable us to steer the job away from any potential complications. Furthermore, we are able to maximize all opportunities to save you both time and money.
