Richard Sowerby, Executive Chairman of Altitude said "This is an exciting development which demonstrates that our patented Artworktool software is globally scalable. Being integrated into the primary product offering of a global brand leader, serving SMEs around the world will drive substantial numbers of users to our Artworktool platform and provide them with the opportunity to upgrade to our premium value added services."

About Artworktool
Artworktool team have a long and rich history in the print, promotional products, sign, apparel and online gift industries, and we've always sought innovative ways to engage and delight customers. Artworktool started out simply enough, as a means of allowing people to design signs online, but in the hands of our entrepreneurial (and excitable!) team, quickly evolved.
We had a vision of an online design tool that would be simple enough for anyone to use without training, but sophisticated enough to create all kinds of marketing material. The key USPs would be that balance of ease of use with advanced editing tools, and the ability to output designs both as web and print ready artwork.
Most of all we wanted to offer affordable HTML5 technology that would allow companies to offer the optimum online design solution for business.
