With the nights drawing in and the distant sound of jingle bells, the Stormpress team are ready to add some Christmas sparkle to your print.
We've put together a list of finishes that we can offer in-house, as well as some handy tips on how you can add these to your projects to maximise budget & impact.
Foiling
Foiling, also known as hot stamping, is a decorative technique used to apply a thin layer of metallic colour onto various surfaces, such as paper, cardstock, leather, and more. It adds a touch of elegance, luxury, and shine to printed materials and offers a rich, premium finish.
Imagine delicate snowflakes shimmering with gold or silver foiling, adding an air of elegance to your seasonal greetings, or mesmerising holographic blue foiling creating a captivating dance of colours reminiscent of twinkling holiday lights. With foiling, your cards and packaging become more than just materials – they become a testament to your brand's commitment to excellence.
TIP - if you are looking to add foiling across a range of greetings cards/designs, choose a generic area to have foiled such as snowflakes, stars or a border so that only one foiling die needs to be made.
Die-Cutting
The technique of die-cutting is an artistic method that brings a unique flare to your printed assets. It involves using a specialised tool called a "die" to cut, score, or emboss materials into specific shapes, patterns, or designs. Deliver a printable to your clientele that has the ‘wow’ factor, a holiday card shaped like a snowflake or a gift box adorned with a die-cut bow perhaps?
Embossing
Embossing is a decorative technique used to create raised or three-dimensional designs on a surface, creating intricate designs that really add an element of ju ne sais quoi to your printables. From delicate ribbons and bows adorning your festive decorations, to seasonal snowflakes and baubles, the added texture elevates your printed items into cherished keepsakes that recipients will be delighted to display.
Variable Data Printing
The holiday season is a time of connection, and there's no better way to foster that connection than with personalised cards. Our variable data printing technology allows you to seamlessly incorporate individual names and personal touches into each printable, transforming them into meaningful tokens of appreciation. Whether you're sending warm wishes to clients, partners, or employees, personalised cards showcase the thought and care you put into every interaction.
Themed Print
Corporate needs are as diverse as the snowflakes that fall during winter and our Christmas print guide encompasses an array of themed print materials that cater to various aspects of your business:
Christmas Party Prep: Spark anticipation among your employees and clients with creatively designed invitations, tickets, and flyers for your corporate holiday party. Capture the festive energy with vibrant colours and joyful imagery that sets the stage for an unforgettable event - whether it’s bespoke selfie frames, pop-up banners or decorative signage, we can elevate your parties and get-togethers to a whole new level.
Corporate Gifting: Elevate your gifting experience by extending your brand's personality to packaging, cards, and gift wrap. Thoughtfully designed materials not only enhance the gift but also leave a lasting impression that resonates with the spirit of giving and impresses the recipient.
Hospitality Excellence: For businesses in the hospitality sector, the holiday season presents an opportunity to create unique experiences. With unctuous, festive food, interiors and Christmas decorations adorning every bar and restaurant, the devil also lies in the details. From festive menu design and print, to bespoke gift vouchers and unique stickers and boxes, we can help you enhance your holiday offerings for your guests.
Colour themes: To further encapsulate the Christmas spirit, a temporary branding adjustment that incorporates winter-themed colours makes your printed assets stand above the rest. White text print, gold lettering and red and green hues really capture the festive spirit.
Embrace Sustainability
As we celebrate the joy of the season, we also honour our commitment to the planet. Our sustainable print options allow you to spread holiday cheer responsibly.
Unwrapping a gift is a moment of excitement and anticipation, and our recyclable papers add an extra layer of meaning to this experience. Envelop your gifts to clients and employees in papers that not only exude elegance but are reusable and recyclable.
When it comes to large format displays that capture attention, our eco-friendly ink takes centre stage. Our litho printing inks are vegetable oil based derived from renewable sources and contain fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than petroleum-based inks. They don’t release VOCs when drying and the machines don't require harsh solvents to clean them. This is a bold declaration that your brand's message can shine brilliantly while still respecting the environment. Your graphics, designs, and visuals stand out with the same vibrancy, depth, and impact as traditional inks, but with a crucial difference: they come without the ecological price tag.
