DSR Group · Newcastle upon Tyne

From design, to print, to production, to packaging.

DSR Group brings together four specialist North East manufacturers — print, labels, blow-moulded packaging and liquid filling — so you can brief one team instead of managing four suppliers.

How the group works

One group, four specialities

DSR Group is the parent company of four specialist manufacturers. Tell us what you need and we’ll either connect you directly with the right specialist, or manage a multi-stage project across the group on your behalf — from an early concept through to a filled, labelled, palletised product ready to ship.

That means a single brief can cover design, litho/flexo print, blow-moulded bottles or containers, labelling and sleeve packaging, and liquid filling — coordinated as one job rather than four separate purchase orders.

The question we’re asked most

“Do I contact DSR, or the specialist company directly?”

Either works. If you already know you need blow-moulded bottles, go straight to Northumbria Blow Mouldings. If your project spans more than one stage — or you’re not sure where to start — brief DSR Group and we’ll coordinate it.
