Design Service
Design for the real world
At EverydayPrint we understand that stock templates don't work for everyone. Some clients require a specific look and feel to printed materials but don't necessarily have the expertise — or time — to get that perfect result.
EverdayPrint can help. Our design studio boasts a staff with skills and experience second to none who will take your ideas and turn them into design you'll love ... at a price you can afford.
And EverdayPrint's top-flight team will keep you fully informed every step of the way with no printing carried out until you have seen and approved the final design.
EverydayPrint's fully-integrated design service starts from as little as £50 per hour, with no minimum fee.

To make it easy for all you would-be designers, I’ve added templates below to be downloaded for business cards in PDF and Adobe InDesign format.
Download your business card template here:
You will notice on the InDesign file a text box which is illustrated in pink to give you a parameters to work your text within. The PDF includes the crop marks and 3mm bleed which you may also find useful.
A few helpful hints:
1) Keep your business card clean and uncluttered
2) make sure the text is easily read
3) Ensure the text and images balance or give equal width from their ends to the edge of the card. (Any slight movement will really show on a business card)
4) Do not place text or important graphics too close to the edge of the card, try to leave at least 6-8mm from the edge of the card.
5) If you want to use borders make them broad and not too thin as any slight deviation in cutting will show ten-fold
6) When using the InDesign file, don’t forget to add crop marks and 3mm bleed when saving as a print ready PDF (see PDF file).

South African distributor Kemtek, a Johannesburg-based advertising agency with no previous printing experience, increased its annual turnover by 25% by expanding its lithographic production. This was achieved by installing a Screen Truepress 344 direct imaging press.
The House of Advertising operates as a below the line advertising agency and specializes in the design of magazine advertisements, the creation of brochures and newsletters, and produces short run outdoor signage and poster printing for both trade and corporate customers. They used to use image B2 plates on a Screen platesetter and then sent it out to a third party supplier to be printed and finished. Then, they installed the Truepress 344 with an Epson proofer, folder, guillotine, and stitcher. They were able to cut costs and increased business while also bringing the processes in-house. A usual print run for The House of Advertising is between 1,000 and 10,000 and so they decided to purchase an offset press. But after trying out some traditional lithographic presses, they were put off by the size and design of even the smallest makes and models.
A. Treat the designer you brief as a professional.
B. Make sure you explain every aspect as designers are not mind
readers.
C. Have your business model ready and make sure your plan has
been well thought out.
D. Fully understand your business brand, goals and target audience.
E. Have a sound understanding of your product.
F. Remember, nothing is for free!
G. Keep in close communications with the designers - voice all your
concerns and remember to listen to what they have to say.
H. Don’t try to design for the designer, they have been hired by you
to do the job so let them get on with it. The designer should also
take on board your opinions and listen to you.
I. it is important for the designer to listen to the client as not all
Industries are the same.
J. Make sure you set expectations for materials and deadlines.
All these must be communicated well. Meet on a regular basis and
keep in contact at all times.
