Design for Redditch businesses
Redditch has been making small, precise things for centuries. Needles came first, and at its peak the town led the world in making them, followed by fishing tackle and springs, a history told at the Forge Mill Needle Museum. The new town that grew from the 1960s laid out industrial areas at Moons Moat, Park Farm and Ravensbank, and they now house engineering, automotive, packaging and distribution firms. Mettis Aerospace, whose history goes back to High Duty Alloys in 1939, produces forged and machined components here for aircraft, defence and energy customers, surrounded by machine shops, heat treaters and inspection specialists.
Precision suppliers need design material that is as accurate as their parts. The jobs we see most from Redditch firms are:
- Technical drawings to BS 8888, with tolerances, surface finish and material notes, supplied as DWG and PDF
- Conversion of old drawings or customer PDFs into editable CAD
- Photography of springs, fasteners and machined parts, where fine detail and true metal finish matter
- Product catalogues and line cards with part numbers, dimensions and specifications laid out in clear tables
- Capability brochures and trade show graphics for aerospace and automotive buyers
Packaging manufacturers on the estates need artwork set up on dielines, and wholesalers and trade suppliers serving the Midlands need price lists and sales literature. The town centre, anchored by the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, has salons, cafés and service businesses that want a logo, signage and social media templates. The Alexandra Hospital and care providers add demand for clear leaflets. We design all of this remotely from Mansfield and agree each price before starting. When you need the camera on site, for parts on a bench or a team on the shop floor, we come to Redditch and quote the travel first.

Frequently asked questions
Can you photograph small springs and fasteners for a Redditch catalogue?
Yes. dijitul photographs small parts on location from £25 + VAT per image, using close-up lenses and controlled lighting to show threads, coils and finish clearly. Images are supplied on white or transparent backgrounds, sized for both your printed catalogue and your website.
Do you draw to BS 8888 for aerospace and automotive customers?
We do. Technical drawings are charged at £45 an hour + VAT and can follow BS 8888, with first or third-angle projection, general tolerances, geometric tolerancing where specified and a revision-controlled title block. Files are supplied as DWG, DXF and PDF, plus STEP if a 3D model is needed.
Do you also work for businesses in Bromsgrove and Studley?
Yes. Design is handled remotely, so firms in Bromsgrove, Studley, Alcester, Droitwich and Worcester work with dijitul in the same way as Redditch businesses. Photography visits anywhere in the area are quoted individually with travel included.
