Experience print possibilities in the real world.

You’re invited to visit The Distillery in Kemang where we’d love to share:

  • Paper stock library and samples
  • Pantone ink swatches and colour tests
  • Print techniques
  • Prototype your artwork
  • Hold and review samples from The Distillery’s print library

Feel free to bring your end-client too, and we’ll help you share the benefits of well considered design.

Browse the Project Gallery, or Book a Consultation.

Here are some methods you can always rely on:

  1. Thick card stock – Substance holds strong
  2. Uncoated touch – Humans are drawn to nature. Select uncoated paper stocks. Avoid glossy, shiny and plastic texture.
  3. Avoid default shapes & sizes – Much like Calibri, standard card sizes and ‘trending’ gravestone arches invoke a generic outcome
  4. Less is more – Black on white is often enough
  5. Deboss is the boss – Subtle or deep letterpress impression offers a refined enhancement. Comic Sans even looks nice with it!

Taking it further

  • Character – Introduce subtle character with an off-white or subtle textured card stock.
  • Foil at volume ‘2’ – Consider limiting foil to selected titles. Black foil is also subtle and smart.
  • Foil at coverage ’10’ + expression ‘1’ – For something different hit it with a large block of foil, delivered in a subtle pearlescent white or silver champagne gold =👌🏻.

The Distillery’s Project Service Centre offers resource to help you start and finish on the right foot.
