Promotional and Corporate Print Design

Last updated:

Calendars, diaries, notebooks and gifts designed to match your identity and keep reminding people of your brand as they are used.

Short answer: Promotional and corporate print design is the work of designing a company’s frequently used printed items such as calendars, diaries, notebooks, folders and gifts to match the brand identity and be ready for production. At Marka Studio the scope covers: product and usage analysis; design language and page system to fit the identity; production-ready files to the manufacturer’s template; a coherent set (calendar, diary, notebook, folder).

Overview

Why Promotional and Corporate Print Design matters

A calendar or diary that sits on a desk all year stays visible longer than many ads, so it must be both useful and on-brand. First we define where and by whom the item will be used, then build a design language and page system that fit your identity. We prepare files to the manufacturer’s technical template, printing technique and paper choice, and can support the sample check if needed.

Why Marka Studio?

A diary or calendar handed out at the start of the year reminds your customer of your brand every day. An inconsistent or careless one reverses that effect.

Process

Our Promotional and Corporate Print Design process, step by step

  1. Use and target. We define who will use the item, where and why, and the production quantity.
  2. Design language. We prepare a page system and two design directions that fit your identity.
  3. Adaptation. We adapt the chosen direction to calendar, diary, notebook and other items to the manufacturer’s template.
  4. Production preparation. We deliver files suited to the printing technique and support the sample check if needed.

When Promotional and Corporate Print Design fits, and when it does not

When it fits. It fits businesses preparing year-end corporate gifts for customers and partners, and those who want brand consistency in diaries, calendars and notebooks.

When it is not enough, or something else comes first. Manufacturing, sourcing and print cost are outside the service; you work with the manufacturer and we prepare files for them. Without a brand identity, identity work comes first.
