Our view
IG Design is an industry leading operator in gift wrap, cards, crackers, bags, stationery and creative play and gifting. It is differentiated by its concept of end-to-end design which takes a whole-process engineering approach from building customer relationships, through sourcing and manufacturing to delivery. In a low margin/high volume core business it achieves dominance through paying meticulous attention to customer requirements, making considered investment in manufacturing capacity and achieving incremental cost reduction gains which in aggregate protect margins in the face of cost pressures. It is focused and entrepreneurial in its search for new revenue streams in adjacent product categories.
