Which pieces should I start with?

A business card is the usual starting point. A letterhead or compliment slip makes sense if you send post, and loyalty cards or gift vouchers suit businesses whose customers come back or buy for others.

What size is a business card?

The standard UK size is 85 x 55mm. I can design to other sizes and shapes, but it's worth checking they'll fit a card holder and that your printer can produce them.

Can you design for foil or other special finishes?

Yes. Finishes such as foil or spot UV need their own layer in the artwork, so tell me early and I'll set it up the way your printer asks.

Can you add new names later?

Yes. Once the design is set, a new name or role is a small change. I'll confirm the cost before I start and send you new print-ready files.

Business Card and Stationery Design

Business cards, letterheads and the small details that add up. I design each piece to match your brand, so everything you hand over or send out looks like it comes from the same business.

What you can expect from stationery design

A matching set

Business cards, letterheads, compliment slips and more, all using the same logo, fonts and colours.

Cards that are easy to read

Names, roles and contact details in a clear order, set large enough to read at the standard 85 x 55mm.

Loyalty cards and vouchers

The extras customers hold on to, such as stamp cards, gift vouchers and appointment cards, designed to match the rest of the set.

Designed for how it's used

Space to write on a voucher, room for a stamp on a loyalty card and a letterhead layout that leaves room for the letter.

The details on your letters

UK limited companies have to show certain details on business letters, such as their registered name and number. I leave room for these and ask you to confirm the wording.

Print-ready artwork

A PDF for each piece with the bleed, crop marks and colour settings your printer asks for.

How a stationery project works

Step 1
Brief and list
We agree which pieces you need and what each one has to carry. You send your logo, contact details and any wording, and I'll flag anything missing.
Step 2
First piece
I start with one piece, usually the business card, so you can approve the style before I apply it to the rest.
Step 3
Full set and revisions
I design each piece and make the rounds of changes we agreed at the start. You check the names, numbers and addresses, as a mistake on stationery means a reprint.
Step 4
Print-ready files
You get print-ready artwork for each piece, set up the way your printer asks for it, plus any digital versions you need.
