About us

COUSIN was founded in 2002, to provide a specialised print production service for premium lifestyle brands.

COUSIN was built from a customer perspective, with a team from print manufacturers and pre-press experts who could introduce an enhanced level of account management.

This brought the flexibility to offer best solution, rather than my solution. Expertise without compromise.

Understanding pressures, anticipating problems and working to achieve a common goal. Becoming an extension to a brand’s marketing team - almost part of the family.

This is why we are called COUSIN.

The business grew quickly by recommendation. Advances in press technology and colour management allowed production across different countries with the same technical standards. So simultaneous production across regions, to reduce delivery costs and timings.

This led to success in USA, and then the opening of our Hong Kong office in 2010.

In 2014 the London team moved into our offices near Tower Bridge, as we wanted a more central home to show our stuff. It's also great to have people dropping in, whether for inspiration or to sample materials and processes.

We have a huge range of projects on display, and an extensive paper library with materials from Europe, USA and Asia.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

We chose COUSIN because it is what we are to our customers - a not too distant relation. 15 years on and our company has changed beyond recognition. Many of the same people, with the same ethics and values, but with different scale and outputs. To reflect our pride in keeping to these principles we needed to evolve our name rather than change it. Made By Cousin articulates the purpose and custody in everything we do.

EVOLUTION

Along with a new brand name comes a new brand identity. Classic and contemporary, clean and minimal, open and friendly. This is reflected in every Made By Cousin touch point, from our business cards, stationery and packaging all the way through to this website.

BRAND ASSURANCE

Made By Cousin is a stamp of quality, care and assurance. A brand in its original and literal sense. An echo of the standards and principles that run through COUSIN and our partners.
