    Printed letterhead and matching card on China White paper

    From a real project · Clover

    Five colours + halftone → Three spot plates

    Five colours butted edge to edge would have shown white at every join. Rebuilt as three spot plates with a screen doing the work, the joins are deliberate and the coral is identical on every reprint.

    How it runs

    Four steps, each one on paper.

    1. 01

      Start with the real piece

      Bring your mark and the pieces you need. We agree stocks, envelope size and how the letterhead will be printed before layout.

    2. 02

      See it on the stock

      The suite shown together at actual size, on the stocks that will be ordered.

    3. 03

      Refine and resolve

      One chosen direction is refined against your feedback and the limits of the selected process.

    4. 04

      Receive the production files

      Outlined vector masters, process separations and a spec sheet naming what the press needs to hold.

    Questions before we start.

    Will the letterhead work in our office printer?

    We specify a stock that feeds and holds toner, and supply a template so the letterhead can be printed in-house on pre-printed sheets.

    Can the envelope match the card finish?

    Often, but finishes behave differently on converted envelopes. We tell you which processes survive the seams before designing.

    Do I own the finished files?

    Yes. The approved artwork and its production files are yours. Fonts licensed from others remain subject to their licence.
