Worn out the T shirt sums up Mr P. We have never presented a problem or opportunity to his team that they haven’t fixed or remedied to our absolute satisfaction. No job too big or small and always with a great big smile. Highly recommended. TV. Head of Marketing

Animation is simply the greatest way to communicate almost everything.

Animation is simply the best way to communicate a difficult, complicated, hard to grasp idea. Add loveable characters and a catchy tune and you’re made!

Im going to say no more as a great animation says a thousand words.

Suffice to say this is an animation we would love to say is ours and this is exactly what we aspire to.

Turning pages

We have produced every kind of printed literature over the years but converting them to sliding or turning pages has always been a technological ‘belt and braces’. This example was produced specifically as a slider and all the better for it i’d say?

Fabric pop up (graphics always on) exhibition stands

These look stunning, are so simple to put up and you’ll wonder why you ever thought magnets were clever! Years of service and easily replaceable components to keep the message relevant. Give us a call and let’s have a chat about your fabric pop up stand.

Is this so naff its naff or is it neat naff?

Is a double sided hand held banner naff?

Half of me says it is and the other half says, “at the right event these could be as annoyingly fantastic as Voo voo zelas”?

If you’ve got the right event, I’ve got the annoyingly great banners!

Working for Colleges and Universities is great fun

We love working with Colleges and Universities but it’s not easy getting your foot in the door.

Pitching can mean a lot of work and if you’re unsuccessful it’s a bitter pill, but the work is great fun and can still work for us.

Our pitch for University of Beds included the extremely campaignable illustrations and covered prospectus, online and outdoor media, all our favourites in one package.

Pad With a hidden pen

Everyone loves a Pen.

Despite the low cost and sometimes poor printing options and space it’s undoubtedly any businesses biggest ‘bang for its buck’.

But what’s the second best business gift? 

A Pad of course!

This is the best of both worlds, Swiss made so not cheap, but the best rarely is eh?

Conference/Event Collateral

Small enough to fit in your pocket and pops open to pack a real promotional punch.

This was sent to registered delegates to shamelessly promote what we were doing at the event, but at the same time offered some local venue suggestions that would appeal to visitors in their downtime.
Very small footprint.
Huge open view with 4 times the footprint to get the message across.

Room on the back for prize offer and keynote timings.


rtfacts pop mailings work for too many businesses to list.

If you can see your application working let’s talk.

Small footprint, Huge bang not a lot of bucks.

Web Cam Cover

Now they see you……Now they can’t.

It’s quite disturbing to notice the green light by the web-camera, blinking away when you’re not on a video call with anyone! It happened to my wife, turned out to be an accident but I have the solution.


It’s nothing technical, It’s nothing complicated and anyone can fit one. There are a number of design options and the bonus is, all can be branded so not only are we stopping unwanted prying eyes, we are also showing the recipient the kind people who donated the fantastic little gizmos brand identity, 24x7x365.

With the cover flipped to the left, the camera and light are covered and nothing at all is visible to the ‘unwelcome’ visitor.

Flip the cover to the right and the web camera and light are visible and the ‘wanted’ video visitor can be welcomed.

There are too many options to list but metal ones and double-sided ones you name it, all available! Please just ask. 

All delivered on a postcard presenter printed full colour both sides. Let’s talk web cam covers!

My favourite job… in 2004

Working for Robert Horne was always a pleasure. They were based in Northampton and so was my best mate, so it always meant fantastic work and a sneaky pint! The 2004 wall calandar was a showcase of their finest material and some lovely print techniques but, the crowning glory was the advent calendar on the December page. I’d never seen this integrated into a calendar before, many times since, but then RH were always willing to take a punt on something new. Thats why it was my favourite job of 2004!

Robert Horne was filled with as many brilliant people as it was possible and we met and worked with most of them. Michelle Hollis got the short straw with me to approve this calendar job on press, and we did a great job in my humble opinion! Robert Horne came about for rtfacts as we were doing a mass of work for BT and were continually disappointed with the huge variety of materials we noticed other roster agencies using, most of it average quality and all of it different. 

After long discussions with Tracey Wallace, the then marketing manager at BT Managed Network Services, we agreed to implement our own paper and board strategy for all the work we produced for the BT business based in Hemel. Robert Horne and the team got stuck in and provided material samples a plenty. Our printers ran tests and comparisons until we arrived at a material selection that met our requirements and that was consistent in its manufacture, in terms of volume, shade, weight, creasing, folding, drying (pre UV drying) and printability. Big BT later realised what a champion idea this was and also selected Huntsman Silk as their preferred stock, even in those days Huntsman Silk was manufactured from responsibly resourced materials and met the highest international standards.

Robert Horne had gone their separate ways from rtfacts when Hornes went pop, so sad as we were for the individuals it was happening to, we were not really involved and had already moved on with just our great memories and a massive portfolio full of wonderful work to show to others. We had done 8 with Robert Horne (13 with BT) so a good shout in both cases.
