Shifts happen

One of the most noticeable, accelerated by COVID, has seen the rapid shift from face-to-face retail to ecommerce. As a result, packaging is quickly becoming the only physical contact brands may have with their customer.

We are dedicated to helping leaders of premium consumer brands, turn this shift into a competitive advantage by replicating the in-store experience through packaging for online customers.

Whilst our platform is our vehicle, as a company we specialise in building lasting connections between brands and their customers.

We believe that combining the expertise of global leaders with an entrepreneurial vision is the best recipe for future success

Today we’re a standalone entity, but Penny Black was incubated in AGFA’s legendary innovation lab and continues to benefit from the support and reach of the global giant.

With 154 years of innovation in the development, manufacture and distribution of imaging products, software and systems, AGFA is the perfect partner for delivering our late stage dynamic print solutions.

With the vision of Penny Black’s leadership team, the unique approach of our investors, 9.5 Ventures, and a continuing partnership with AGFA, we have been able to accelerate innovation and deliver an award winning solution
