Print pieces that hold up in someone’s hand.
Brochures, capability statements, pitch decks, signage and stationery, designed properly and handed over print-ready, with a digital version for email and web included.
The problem
A slide deck isn’t a brochure.
Plenty of print material starts life as a hasty export from a slide tool or a document editor, reading fine on the screen it was made on before printing with the wrong margins, blurry logos and a typeface that isn’t actually licensed for that use. It looks like what it is: unfinished.
Printed material still carries a certain weight that a web page doesn’t quite manage. A capability statement handed over in a meeting, a brochure left on a counter, or signage at an industry event says something about the business behind it, before anyone reads a word of the content.
What we design
Anything that needs to go to print.
Brochures
Single sheets and multi-page brochures, designed to read well and hold up on paper.
Capability statements
The document you hand a client or a tender panel, structured so the important points land first.
Pitch decks
Slide designs built around your content, not a stock template with your logo dropped on top.
Signage
Shopfront, event and trade-show signage, sized and prepared correctly for the printer.
Stationery
Business cards, letterheads and compliment slips that follow your existing brand system.
Trade-show material
Pull-up banners, table cards and handouts designed as a set, so a stand looks like one piece of work.
Process
How a print project runs.
Brief and content
We agree on the piece, its purpose and its content, whether that’s your draft or copy we write together.
Structure and layout
We plan how the content flows across pages or panels before we touch final design.
Design
Full design of the piece, in your brand’s colours, type and system.
Proofing
You check a proof for content, colour and layout before anything is finalised.
Print-ready handover
A final PDF with correct bleed and CMYK colour, ready for your printer or ours.
Printing
We prepare it, a printer produces it.
We don’t operate a print shop ourselves, so the physical production happens through an external printer, either one you already use or one we regularly work with. Either way, we prepare the file correctly, with bleed, crop marks and CMYK colour calibrated to the process, so what comes off the press matches what you originally approved on screen.
Every print piece also gets a digital version, sized properly for email and for use on your website, so you’re not stuck sending a scanned copy of a printed brochure.
- Print work usually follows on from brand identity, using the same colours, type and logo files rather than reinventing them.
- Copywriting is available for any piece, so the content and the design are handled by people talking to each other, not passed between separate suppliers.
Do you print the job yourselves?
We design and prepare the artwork; the physical printing is handled by a print shop, either one you already use or one we work with. We manage that handoff so the file that goes to print matches what you approved, right down to the colour setup.
What do you need from us to get started?
Your existing logo and brand files if you have them, the content or a rough draft of it, and a sense of quantities and where the piece will be used. If you don’t have finished copy yet, we can help write it as part of the project.
How long does a print project take?
A single brochure or capability statement is often one to two weeks from approved content to print-ready file. Larger jobs, like a full pitch deck or a stationery suite, take longer depending on how many pieces are involved and how quickly feedback comes back.
Can you write the copy as well as design it?
Yes. Copywriting is available alongside the design, so you’re not stuck writing brochure copy yourself or handing us a half-finished document. We’ll tell you upfront if a project needs copy as a separate line item.
What file formats do we get?
A print-ready PDF set up with the correct bleed and in CMYK, ready to hand to any printer. We also provide a digital version suited to email and web, so the same piece works as a PDF attachment or an on-screen document.
Can you match our existing brand?
Yes, if you already have a logo, colours and type, we’ll work inside that system rather than introduce a new look. If the existing brand doesn’t have clear rules to follow, we’ll flag that and can tidy it up as part of brand identity work.
