The Past: Building a Legacy
1995: Humble Beginnings
Meesha Graphics was founded in Leicester by Raj Patel, a graphic designer with a vision. Operating from a 1,600 sq ft garage, we specialised in graphic design and small-run screen printing.
2000: Transition to Meesha Group
Expanding into digital printing and graphic design, we became a trusted supplier for UK high street brands. Our industry-leading graphics earned recognition, leading to a move to a 20,000 sq ft facility in Leicester.
2005: Pioneering Sublimation Printing
Partnering with Simso Tex USA, we introduced sublimation printing in Europe, creating the first vertical setup with a weekly capacity of one million prints.
2010: Technological Advancements and Strategic Partnerships
We partnered with an Indian facility, expanding our supply chain into Asia. With MHM Austria, we developed the world’s first hybrid digital and screen print system.
2015: Scaling Up and Ethical Leadership
Expanding to a 100,000 sq ft facility, our capacity grew to 250,000 prints per week. We also became a pilot factory for the ‘Fast Forward’ ethical audit programme.
The Present: Adapting and Thriving
2020: Overcoming Challenges, Expanding Horizons
Despite COVID-19, we adapted quickly, ensuring business continuity. By year’s end, we expanded into the USA through a partnership with Next Level Apparel®.
2021: Strengthening Global Presence
Collaboration with Next Level Apparel® enabled the implementation of scientific verification of cotton products, setting new standards for traceability in the global cotton industry and benefiting consumers and businesses alike.
2022: Award Recognition and Innovation in Print-on-Demand
Nominated for the Drapers Fashion Supplier of the Year award, we launched a print-on-demand service, reducing waste and enhancing apparel customisation. New brands TRND and NFTee™ reinforced our commitment to sustainability.
The Future: Pushing Boundaries, Sustainably
2023 and Beyond: Leading the Future of Apparel Printing
