NGS Booklet


Above is another example of our StarMarque finish. This is also known as gloss varnish, Spot UV or UV coating. It's just a way to really add impact to your marketing material and really make it stand out from the crowd.

Southampton based NGS supply winter maintenance vehicles, complete with skilled operatives, to undertake the pre-salting of highways, car parks, paths and roads. They also supply gritting and specialist salts.

We've added the concept of tyre tread marks on their marketing material to go along side the brand and this is printed in different ways. As shown above we've also used the StarMarque finish for the tread marks on the cover of the booklet and on the back of the business cards.

StarMarque Business Cards


On the phone customers often ask what is StarMarque. This is the name we give to a gloss varnish that we can apply to our business cards, flyers, booklets and presentation folders. This type of finish is also known as Spot UV or UV Coating. It's basically a way to add an extra finish to your marketing material to make it really stand out. It can be applied in a variety of ways, just like a colour, and we've got tuns of examples in the studio to get your ideas flowing.

The above example is a business card we did for the award winning Southampton author Ali Sparkes. The design is the cover of her book "Dark Summer". We added a StarMarque finish to emphasise the rays of light emanating from the crystal. This added a real impact to Ali's card, but I'm not sure my two photos show how good it really looks!

Ali says "The cards cause murmurs of awe every time I hand one over!"
