  "account": "Digital Express, known as DEX, was founded in 2008 by Dale Clay in Rondebosch. They relocated to lower Long Street in the city center a few years later. The company started as a small digital printing business, aiming to provide high-quality, reliable, and innovative printing solutions for local businesses. Their focus was on delivering great work on time and building trust with clients through quality prints, fast turnaround times, and attention to detail.\n\nAs DEX grew, they outgrew their space on Long Street and moved to a larger location along Albert Road in Woodstock. The company's strategic location within a thriving network of creative agencies, retailers, and entrepreneurs helped DEX stay ahead of industry trends and continuously improve its offerings.\n\nDEX has invested in advanced printing technology, skilled personnel, and streamlined production processes. These investments have allowed the company to take on large-scale projects for retail stores, shopping centers, and corporate clients. They deliver consistent quality across multiple locations, handling everything from façade signage to digital experiences.\n\nAt DEX, the team blends cutting-edge technology with hands-on craftsmanship.
