How can print help my brand?
Print is where your brand gets physical
These days, your brand spends most of its life on a screen. But at some point, you find yourself needing a branded document folder or a display for a trade show. That's when you need a graphic designer.
When it’s done well, print makes your business look confident and established. Done badly, it can make you look like an amateur. But, once it's printed, it's printed, and if you get it wrong, it's costly to put right.
So, it pays to find a designer with print experience.

Why can't we just do it ourselves?
Templates will only get you so far
Online print platforms have made getting the basics simple, and for business cards and flyers they do an ‘OK’ job. The issues arrive when you try producing anything more complex than that yourself.
Print projects can go wrong a long time before they hit the press. And much of this is because you don’t know what you don’t know.
Designing for print is highly technical, and involves a big list of esoteric things like bleed, ink limits, safe zones, colour spaces and image resolution – all things you shouldn't have to worry about.
I've spent 35 years understanding that list, so you don't have to.
What sort of print do you help with?
Print design for anything that needs to be right first time
I specialise in complicated print projects that you shouldn't be attempting yourself, including:
- Presentation folders and sales material – die-cut pockets, capacity gussets, finishes and stocks chosen to represent your business in the best light.
- Catalogues, brochures and workbooks – anything from dozens of pages to hundreds, designed to stay consistent and easy to navigate, with materials and binding suited to how it will be used.
- Large-format and exhibition graphics – stands, banners, window and wall graphics, built to look impressive at scale.
- Point-of-sale and retail displays – measured to fit real fixtures and robust enough to survive contact with the public.
- Packaging – carrying your brand from shelf to doorstep, so it has to look right and protect your product.
One area I don't get involved in is promotional merchandise – pens, tote bags, clothing – but I can point you toward people who do.

How much do you charge?
One quoted price, delivered to your door
Print jobs rarely fit into packages. There are a vast number of options available for every job, such as paper type, weight, finishing options and delivery timescales, and they all have an impact on the price you pay. So I don't publish set prices.
Instead, let me know what you need. I'll ask you a few questions, and then quote you a single figure covering the whole job: design, print management and delivery to your door.
I design, prepare the artwork, choose the printer, check the proofs and deal with problems before you hear about them. The figure I quote is what you pay, and if something goes wrong at the printers, fixing it is my job.
You approve the design. I do the rest.
Keith's design and print service is fantastic. I needed some A4 folders, to keep documents nice and crisp when posting to clients. I sent Keith a large and chaotic email full of vaguely relevant information, which he somehow distilled into a sleek and professional looking folder, using my brand colours and voice throughout.
The finished effect is polished, and looks very expensive, even though it wasn’t. 10/10 I’ll be back!

How long does it take?
Design – it depends on the brief, the content available and how fast we can turn proofs around. But I do work very quickly.
Printing – generally, print lead times and delivery are between 7-21 days once the design has been approved. Larger, more complex projects, or those with multiple levels of finishing may take longer. For some projects, shorter lead times are also available.
When I quote, I will give you a clear estimate of the total time required.
Ask me for a quote
If you have a print job that's beyond templates, tell me about it – what it is, what it needs to do, how many you require and when you need it by. That's enough to get the ball rolling.
