Design for Peterborough businesses
Peterborough grew fast after its new town designation in 1967 and has not stopped. Sitting on the A1 and the East Coast Main Line, with King's Cross less than an hour away by train, it has become a major distribution hub ringed by warehouses for national retailers and online brands. Plenty of smaller ecommerce brands use those fulfilment centres too, and their design needs are very specific:
- Main product images on a pure white background that meet marketplace rules, plus lifestyle and detail shots for listings
- Mailer box and packaging artwork built on the manufacturer's dieline
- Inserts, thank-you cards and instruction leaflets that reduce returns
- Social and digital ad graphics resized for each platform
The city also has deep engineering roots. Caterpillar-owned Perkins Engines has made diesel engines here since 1932, and Baker Perkins builds food and printing machinery in the city, supported by machining, fabrication and engineering service firms. They need technical drawings, exploded views for parts manuals, 3D models in STEP and photography of machines and components. Haulage and logistics firms need fleet livery, warehouse signage and recruitment adverts that stand out during peak hiring.
The city also has a history in magazine publishing and a growing clean technology sector, both of which bring editorial layout and infographic work. ARU Peterborough opened in 2022, the Queensgate shopping centre anchors the city centre, and Hampton to the south is adding new homes and local businesses that need logos, shopfronts and leaflets. We design everything remotely from Mansfield and agree a fixed price first. Product, factory and team photography is shot on location in Peterborough, with travel quoted before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you shoot marketplace-ready product photos for a Peterborough seller?
Yes. dijitul shoots product photography from £25 + VAT per image, including main images on a pure white background, detail close-ups and lifestyle shots. Check the current image rules for each marketplace you sell on; we size, crop and export each image to match them.
Do you produce parts manual illustrations for engine and machinery makers?
We do. Technical illustration and exploded views are charged at £45 an hour + VAT. We work from your CAD models or drawings and supply numbered, line-art illustrations as vector PDF or SVG, ready to place in printed manuals, online parts catalogues and service documentation.
Do you work with businesses in Stamford, Oundle and Huntingdon?
Yes. Design is done remotely, so firms in Stamford, Oundle, Huntingdon, Whittlesey and March work with dijitul in the same way as Peterborough businesses. Shoots in any of those towns are priced with travel shown as its own line.
