Stationery Design
MRS Design offer a wide range of stationery design services and as with our logo design services, we do not have a set range of packages. Instead just let us know what your stationery design requirements are and we'll be happy to provide a competetive quote.
The types of stationery we design include...
- Letterhead Design
- Word Letterhead Template Design
- Compliment Slip Design
- Business Card Design
- Leaflet Design
- Flyer Design
- Menu Design (Takeaways, Restaurants etc)
- Label Design
The kinds of stationery design task we provide include...
- Custom stationery designs with initial designs created from scratch by our designers, specifically for your project.
- We will design all stationery around your logo design (which can either be designed by us, or provided the client)
- Stationery design updates - Many clients have pre-existing stationery design, which require updating when they change address or other contact details. If a client has original stationery artwork, we can use this as a basis for the updates, or even use scans of paper designs to recreate then update a stationery set design.
- For all stationery designs we create, we retain backup copies, so that if any updates are required in future, they can be done quickly and easily.
What does a stationery design project consist of?
Although each and every stationery design project is different both in terms of scale and requirements, the same general steps are taken in most projects...
-
Information gathering and quote
- Find out what our client requires, in terms of whether it is new stationery designs or amendments to existing stationery.
- Find out what stationery items are required, and any preferences as to the style for the designs.
- Determine the textual info required for the stationery items.
- Once we have this info, we will provide a fixed quote based upon the timescale required for the project.
- If the quote is accepted, we will proceed to the next stage.
-
Initial designs
- Based upon the quote, our designers will create initial designs for each of the stationery items as required.
- Unlike logo designs, we will usually only provide 1 draft version for each stationery item. The reason for this is that as the style of a stationery set is largely influenced by the logo and its colour scheme, we find it better to create one good bespoke set based upon the style, colours and subject of the client logo, rather than simply drop a logo into multiple draft designs.
- For stationery items which include multple versions (such as business cards for different persons), we will a design for 1 person initially, then create drafts later for the other persons once the basic format has been settled upon.
- Once completed the initial designs will be sent to the client by email in PDF format.
-
Design revisions
- When the client has seen the initial designs, they can let us know what amendments they would like to the stationery designs.
- As with a logo design amendments can include; font, colour, symbol, size, position, etc.
- The revisions again will be sent to the client by email, and as required, multiple revision cycles can be undertaken until the client is 100% happy with the stationery designs.
-
Stationery finalisation
- Once a client is happy with a specific design version, we will finalise the stationery artwork in 3 different file formats (AI, EPS and PDF) which will be suitable for printing via most printing companies.
- In most cases the final artwork will be sent through by email.
- In all cases we retain backup copies of all stationery designs we create, so if for any reason a stationery artwork is lost or requires amendment we always have the base artwork available on request.
How much does a stationery design cost?
As with any bespoke service, it can be as long as a peice of string, but in terms of costs, our stationery design services range from £20 upwards dependent on the time required for the individual project.
How is payment scheduled?
Dependent on the scale of the project, we require payment in the following 2 ways...
- For full bespoke stationery design projects, we request 25% of the project cost prior to commencing the initial designs, with the final 75% payable once the client is 100% happy with the final design, just prior to finalising the stationery artwork.
- For smaller stationery design or stationery amendment projects, we require that the full payment is made prior to commencing design work.
-
Payment can be made using the following methods...
- Securely online via Paypal or Google Checkout (both these methods allow payment using most credit or debit cards)
- Payment by cheque
How long does a stationery design project take?
In most cases a fully bespoke new stationery set design project will take between 1 and 2 weeks (depending on the availablilty of the info for the stationery), end to end. For smaller projects such as design amendments, overall timescales usually vary between 2 and 4 days.
