Print design services in Cornwall
Good print design should make information clear, give a business a recognisable presence and feel right for the way it will be used.
We design brochures, leaflets, maps, packaging, stationery, signage and promotional materials for businesses and organisations in Cornwall and beyond.
Because we also provide branding, bespoke illustration and website design, we can develop the visual language of a project and carry it consistently from screen to finished print.

Print designed for its purpose
Plan the piece
We begin with the audience, the information and where the finished item will be used.
Format, quantity, budget, stock and practical considerations can then be addressed before they become limitations.
Create the design
We organise words and images so the important information is easy to find and the finished piece has a clear visual character.
Typography, colour, photography and illustration are brought together without getting in the way of the message.
Prepare and produce
We prepare accurate artwork and can liaise with printers, sign makers and other specialist suppliers.
Where useful, we can help with proofs, paper choices, finishes, production and delivery.
From a single item to a joined-up range
Some projects begin with one menu, map or brochure. Others need a coordinated family of materials that will work across several locations, events or stages of a customer journey.
We shape the work around what is genuinely useful now while considering how it might be adapted later. This helps a growing range remain recognisable without forcing every item into exactly the same layout.
Print is physical, so the fold, scale, stock, finish and durability all influence how a design communicates. We consider those decisions as part of the design rather than treating production as an afterthought.
Print design in practice
These two projects show how print can create a recognisable identity across very different formats, from illustrated packaging and retail products to visitor guides, trails and event materials.
Illustrated packaging and retail print
Harbour Treats
Our work for Harbour Treats spans illustrated packaging, a Port Isaac visitor guide, a colouring book and a growing collection of coastal gifts.
The same hand-drawn village imagery, typography and colour palette are adapted across very different formats. Each item is planned around how it will be produced and used, while the wider collection remains recognisably Harbour Treats.
Visitor attraction print
Pencarrow House and Gardens
Pencarrow needs printed materials that help visitors plan, explore and understand the house and gardens while retaining the character of the historic setting.
We have designed and print-managed its guide book, group-visit leaflets, illustrated garden trails and seasonal event campaigns. The range balances useful visitor information with a clear and consistent visual identity.
What can a print project include?
- Brochures, leaflets, booklets and catalogues
- Maps, guides and activity materials
- Posters, invitations and event campaigns
- Packaging, labels and point-of-sale materials
- Signage, exhibition and vehicle graphics
- Stationery and promotional items
The exact mix depends on the audience, quantity, budget and setting. We can recommend a suitable format, stock, finish and production method rather than asking you to arrive with every technical decision already made.
Who do we design print for?
We work with visitor attractions, hospitality and tourism businesses, shops, food and drink companies, accommodation providers, professional services, charities and community organisations.
Some clients come to us with one finished brief. Others need help deciding which materials will be most useful or bringing an inconsistent collection of items into one clearer system.
Design and production working together
Between us, we have been working in print since the 1990s, so we are comfortable with both the design and production sides of a project.
We consider folds, paper stocks, finishing, budgets, installation and practical use early in the process. We can supply finished artwork to your chosen producer or manage production with trusted suppliers, depending on the project.
