on

KC Print, sister company to the Killarney Advertiser, based in Upper Lissivigeen, is one of Ireland's leading printing companies and prints the ‘Advertiser’ weekly, employing thirty people.

The Advertiser was put forward by KC Print in the ‘Newspaper & Freesheet Printer of the Year’ and is nominated for a second year in a row.

The Killarney Advertiser, now in its 51st year, is recognised as one of the premium free community news magazines in the country and has been recognised by judges for its design and print quality.  

The good news doesn’t stop there for the team, with ‘We Are Killarney’ tourism magazine, designed and edited by the Advertiser team and printed by KC Print, nominated in two categories.

The tourism magazine has fast become the go-to guide to Killarney for tourists with its head turning design and must- have guides to all things Killarney.

Finally, the KC Print team were also nominated for their work on the Newbridge Silver Catalogue in two categories. The team have worked with this client for many years producing its high-end catalogues.

The project also involved another Killarney company, Impact Print Ireland, led by David Long, who provided the silver foil for the cover.

“We are proud to be nominated across three categories this year. I am especially delighted for the Advertiser team led by Chris Davies and our lead designer Leszek Szeligowski. They bring real passion to both the Advertiser and We Are Killarney magazines, and it shows,” said Aidan Quirke, Sales Director, KC Print.

“While the Advertiser creates the content, our team of skilled technical staff in KC Print ensure we produce the highest quality print possible. There is a wide team from accounts to customer service that contribute to our success.  

It’s great to see innovation and quality being recognised nationally, and the work of Managing Director Cormac Casey and family over 50 years,” added Aidan.

KC Print is a leading printer in Ireland, servicing the education sector and marketing agencies, and printing several community news magazines. It also offers a wide range of general printing services including brochures, catalogues, and high-end magazines.
