Quality brochures, leaflets, flyers, and corporate stationery designed to feel as impressive in the hand as they look on the page.
Good print starts with good design. At G3 Creative, we create printed materials that communicate clearly, represent your brand consistently, and make the right impression — whether you need a single leaflet or a complete suite of marketing materials.
We consider how your printed materials will be seen, handled, and used, creating layouts that are practical as well as visually engaging. But good print design isn't only about what happens on the page. The shape, paper, finish, and tactile qualities of a printed piece all contribute to how it is perceived.
From the first concept through to the finished piece, we consider these details alongside the layout, typography, photography, and paper stock — creating print that not only looks good on screen, but feels right in the hand too.
From company brochures and product catalogues to visitor guides and annual reports, we create well-structured publications that are easy to navigate and designed to work beautifully in print.
We can help organise complex information, establish a clear visual hierarchy, and make sure photography, graphics, and typography work together across every page.
Clear, engaging designs for promotions, events, mail drops, exhibitions, and everyday marketing.
We can design for anything from a simple one-page flyer to a more detailed folded leaflet, making sure your key message is easy to understand and catches attention quickly.
Company profiles, annual reports, presentation folders, tender documents, newsletters, and other business literature designed to give your communications a professional and consistent appearance.
For more detailed publications, we can also help structure and present large amounts of information so the finished document remains clear, accessible, and engaging.
Eye-catching posters and promotional materials designed to work at different sizes and distances — from A3 promotional posters to large-format display graphics.
We consider where and how your design will be viewed, ensuring the message remains clear whether it is seen at close range or from across a room.
Business cards, letterheads, compliment slips, and branded envelopes that carry your visual identity consistently across every customer touchpoint.
Even the simplest printed item should feel like part of the same brand, helping create a professional and considered impression.
Your printed materials work best when they are built around a strong and consistent visual identity. If you need a new visual identity or want to develop your existing brand, we can help with that too.
Print projects often need more than a finished layout. Depending on the project, we can also provide the supporting art direction, photography, illustration, and copywriting needed to bring everything together.
From selecting and directing photography to developing bespoke illustrations, writing headlines, and shaping the overall visual approach, we can help create a complete piece of communication rather than simply supplying artwork ready for the printer.
This can be particularly useful when a project needs several creative elements working together, giving you one design team to coordinate the visual direction from start to finish.
Where sustainability is important to a project, we can help you make more considered choices about paper, production, and finishing.
This can include FSC-certified papers, recycled and alternative papers, innovative materials such as seaweed-infused paper, responsible printing processes, and finishes selected with the environmental impact of the finished piece in mind.
For example, seaweed-infused paper can provide a distinctive, natural texture while offering an interesting alternative to conventional paper stocks. We can also advise on ink and production choices, including vegetable-based and low-VOC inks where appropriate.
We'll help you balance sustainability with the appearance, durability, and budget your project requires, so choosing a more responsible option doesn't mean compromising on the quality of the finished design.
Sustainable print options can include:
To give you a starting point for budgeting, here are typical prices for some of our most requested print design projects.
Prices are based on client-supplied copy and images and cover the design and preparation of print-ready artwork. Every project is different, so we'll confirm the exact cost with a clear, detailed quotation before work begins.
The final price depends on the complexity of the design, the amount of content and the level of artwork required.
If suitable stock photography or imagery is required, we can source royalty-free images for your project. A typical one-off licence is around £30 per image, depending on the image and licence required.
Prices are for design and print-ready artwork only and exclude printing, VAT where applicable, copywriting, photography, illustration and extensive image sourcing unless specifically included in the quotation.
If your project isn't listed above, get in touch and we'll be happy to provide a quotation based on your requirements.
If your project requires any of these services, we'll include the costs clearly in your quotation before work begins.
Once your design is ready, we can manage the print production too, if required, or we are happy to supply the high-resolution PDF for you to forward to your preferred print supplier. We work with trusted UK printers to select the most appropriate process, paper, finish, and quantity for your project and budget.
Because our expert print design team understands both design and print production, we can consider practical details from the outset — helping avoid unnecessary costs and making sure the finished piece reproduces as intended.
Ideal for shorter print runs, quick turnaround times, and personalised marketing materials.
Digital printing is a cost-effective choice for leaflets, conference programmes, flyers, brochures, and direct mail without requiring large quantities. It also provides flexibility when you need smaller batches or variable data printing.
Lithographic printing is well suited to larger print runs where excellent colour reproduction, consistency, and volume economies of scale are required.
Unlike digital printing, litho printing uses plates to transfer artwork onto paper. While this involves more preparation initially, the cost per item decreases significantly as the quantity increases.
Litho is particularly effective for larger brochures, catalogues, magazines, corporate publications, annual reports, and other high-volume printed materials where colour accuracy and a consistent finish are paramount.
It also offers an extensive selection of paper stocks, weights, custom finishes, and specialist inks, such as Pantone spot colours, making it a versatile option for high-end print projects.
We'll advise on whether litho or digital printing makes the most sense for your project, balancing quantity, format, colour precision, stock selection, and budget.
From posters and banners to exhibition display graphics and signage, we produce large-format materials designed to make an impact wherever they're displayed.
We ensure artwork is prepared at the correct resolution and scale for maximum visual clarity when installed.
The right finishing technique can transform an otherwise straightforward piece of print. Die-cutting allows brochures, folders, and promotional pieces to be produced in distinctive shapes rather than conventional A4 or A5 formats, creating a more memorable and bespoke result.
For a touch of class, embossing and debossing create raised or recessed detail that adds texture and a tactile quality to covers, stationery, invitations, and premium publications. Foil blocking can add metallic detail and a sophisticated finish, making it particularly effective for brochure covers, corporate literature, and event or concert programmes.
Other options include matt, gloss and soft-touch lamination, spot UV varnish, and specialist coatings, which can be selected to improve durability, highlight particular design elements, or give the finished piece a more premium appearance.
We'll advise on the most appropriate combination of paper stock, printing process, and finishing, balancing the visual effect with practicality, durability, and budget.
The format of a printed piece can be just as important as its design. While A4 and A5 remain popular choices for brochures and leaflets, alternative formats, custom sizes, and creative folding can help a publication stand out and make information easier to navigate.
We design for a range of folded leaflets, concert and event programmes, brochures, presentation folders, and promotional materials, considering panel sizes, fold positions, pagination, and how the finished piece will open and be handled.
Where a standard format isn't right for the project, we can explore custom dimensions, die-cut shapes, and bespoke folding techniques to create something more distinctive without compromising the practicality.

Turnkey Execution: Idea to Finished Print
We manage creative strategy, artwork execution, and press production, delivering a seamless experience from initial concept to finished print.
Q: What is the difference between digital and litho printing?
A: Digital printing is best suited for short runs and quick turnarounds. Lithographic printing becomes substantially more economical for larger quantities and allows for specialist inks and custom stocks.
Q: What paper stock should I choose for a brochure?
A: The optimal paper depends on your brand positioning, page count, image density, and how the brochure will be distributed. We guide you through sample stocks, weights (GSM), and finishes during the design process.
Q: Can you handle both design and physical print production?
A: Yes. We offer end-to-end management from initial design through press checks and final delivery. Alternatively, we can supply print-ready, high-resolution PDFs directly to your preferred print vendor.
Q: Can you help me choose the right printing and finishing options?
A: Absolutely. We can advise on the most suitable paper stock, weight, printing process and finishing options for your project, taking into account how the finished piece will be used, the quantity required, your timescale and your budget. We can also arrange samples where appropriate, so you can see and feel the options before committing to a print run.
Q: What are your design and artwork rates?
A: We normally quote on a project basis so you know the cost before work begins. Where an hourly rate is more appropriate, our current rates are £60 per hour for design and £45 per hour for artwork.
