Shaped Flyers/ Cut-Out Flyers


With any flyer the first thing you need to do is grab the attention of your target audience. One very effective way to do this is to add a shape!

Here are a couple of recent examples - a key shaped flyer for the Winchester lock smith Winlocks and a van shaped flyer for Southampton property maintenance company Appsolute Solutions Limited. Bespoke cut-out shapes are normally an expensive addition to your marketing campaign. Not any more. With our revolutionary techniques, you'll pay a fraction of the usual costs and make your marketing stand out from the clutter.

So what shape could you use? Estate Agent? How about a house-shaped flyer? Denist? When did you last see a tooth-shaped flyer?

Winchester Sports & Spine Voucher


Winchester Sports & Spine use a variety of techniques to treat a wide range of conditions such as back pain and sports injuries. They have recently moved and wanted to send a letter to all their clients informing them of the move plus an incentive to visit the new premises.

So we designed the above voucher letterhead. This is a letter with a perforated tear off voucher at the bottom. Vouchers are a great way to get new customers to try out your service or to reward existing customers for their loyalty. We have a variety of different products that can incorporate vouchers such as voucher cards, perforated flyers etc. So if you are thinking of creating and incentive for new and old customers then let us show you what we can do.

Wastemasters Southampton Flyer


Above is an example of how we turned a customer’s ideas into an actual piece marketing material that can be used to professionally promote a business.

Wastemasters (Southern) Ltd, based in Fareham – Hampshire, provide tipper and grabber lorry services to the building and construction industry.

Like many of our customers Wastemasters had a great idea for promoting their business. But knew if they tried to produce their own flyers they would come across as amateurish, which is not a great way to build confidence when selling your services to prospective customers. However by using our Graphic Design service they have been able to win new business with this well designed flyer.

Southampton Restaurant Business Card


We are often asked for a "simple" business card. I think what most business owners want is a business card that not only gives propective customers their contact details but a business card that also helps sell the business. Afterall is you just want to pass on contact details why not use a bit of paper?

The above images show the initial brief given to us by our customer (My Dreams in Southampton) on the left and the final design and printed business card on the right. The cardboard effect is printed onto the business card - click on the image to see this better. The business card on the right is far more interesting than a bit of paper and importantly through its design gives prospective customer confidence in the business.

Southampton Restuarant Menu




My Dreams is a new restaurant on Shirely High Street near Southampton.

The owners wanted a menu (or leaflet) that reflected the style of their restuarant and had come up with some ideas - see the images on the left. After a consultation we thought we could come up with something much more creative that would actually sell the restaurants to customers. The actual printed menu is on the right. Note on the bottom right menu the creases are printed onto the menu - click on the image to get a better view.

The owners were delighted with the finished menu that we designed and printed and agree that if two menus were posted through their letterbox they would definately pick the resturant with the menu on the right.

Eurotank Southampton Pad
















We print a variety of different kinds of pads including NCR pads, sticky note pads, desk pads and as above ordinary note pads. These were printed for Eurotank Enviromental - based in Southampton. Eurotank are specialist contractor consultants to the petroleum industry.

As a rug-rat, if you didn't get enough attention you just SCREAMED (maybe until you threw up your milk). No-one likes to get ignored, especially if it's your customers who are doing the ignoring. With Notepads you get to deliver them as presents to your customers, safe in the knowledge that every time they scribble something down, it's your business that SCREAMS at them.

Steamy Windows Business Cards


Steamy Windows, based in Romsey near Southampton, replaces damaged doubled glazed units. If double glazed units loose their seal, water gets in and they become "steamed up" - hence the company name. Steamy Windows can also fix other related problems with windows and doors - see the business card.

We designed and printed these business cards for them. This is a well designed business card, over and above a plain business card, for 3 important reasons :

1. It includes confidence building "trade" logos - namely "Buy with Confidence" and "Check a trade". These 3rd party organisations vouch for the credibilty and reputation of member business - vitally important for referrals.

2. The card includes a detailed list of what services are offered. This is also important when getting business via referral to make sure the recipient of the card knows exactly what the business does.

3. The card is good quality, well designed and has an eye catching spot UV finish on the back that looks like steam! The recipient of this business card will be impressed and therefore think better of the company that it advertises. Again vital for referrals.

Remember you can get referrals from your contacts and customers passing on your business card to people you haven't met. Which is why a business card is so important as it is effectively advertising your business.
