About Picsme: photo gifts made in the UK
Picsme turns your photographs, artwork and messages into photo books, calendars, framed prints, posters and cards. We print and finish our products in-house in Swindon, bringing the work of a professional print manufacturer directly to your personal projects.
The people and production behind Picsme
Picsme is a trading name of ESP Colour Limited. Our UK production facility handles printing and finishing, so the team making your order can work with the paper, print and binding as one connected process.
That matters whether you are making a single birthday card or collecting years of photographs in a hardcover book. The image you upload is only the starting point. Paper choice, trimming, folding, lamination and assembly all contribute to the finished result.
What we make
- Photo books: A5, A4 and 20 × 20cm square books, with softcover and hardcover options and a choice of gloss or recycled silk inner paper.
- Photo calendars: wall calendars in single-page and double-page layouts, with your choice of start month.
- Photo posters: loose prints in a range of sizes, on 200gsm silk or uncoated paper.
- Framed prints: 200gsm silk prints in solid pine frames, with choices of size, colour and profile.
- Photo cards: four-page personalised cards on 260gsm stock, with writable insides and a white envelope.
A professional print environment
Our production environment includes Canon varioPRINT iX3200 and Ricoh production presses, Canon Colorado large-format technology, Kodak Prinergy workflow and in-house finishing equipment. Jobs are routed to the process suited to their format and material.
For a photo book, that means coordinating the printed pages with its cover and binding. For wall art, it means matching the print format to the cutting and, where selected, frame assembly. These are practical production choices behind the products you receive.

Follow a personalised book from your design through UK printing and delivery.
Our approach to value
We also manufacture photo gifting products for other brands. Selling Picsme products directly from our own production operation helps reduce the additional manufacturing margin associated with outsourcing. We focus on clear specifications so you can compare the actual product, including the paper, cover or frame.
Why our prices are lower explains this approach in more detail.
Choose with confidence
Our guides explain the choices that affect your result, from book page counts to poster crops. For recycled photo books, the recycled claim refers to the inner paper; see our recycled-paper information for what is included.
