Catalogues
An organised, detailed, descriptive list of items (usually products) arranged systematically to provide the user with the ability to access the information quickly using an index or key system. Catalogue artwork can be especially difficult to manage and produce due to the shear volume of information and photography that is used. Carbon Creative are experienced in creating this type of artwork and can take the headaches out of what can be an organisational nightmare.

Brochures
An important tool for marketing your products and services and ultimately your brand image. They should be attractive and professionally created. Brochure design is continually evolving and changing, in order to stand out from the crowd, designers are pushing the boundaries of printing technologies. Carbon Creative are elite in this field with strong knowledge of both design and reprographic production techniques we can find a way to make that impossible design work on paper.

Forms
Forms require absolute accuracy and clean userfriendly design. We understand that software related forms must be designed perfectly so that everything drops into place when the forms are fed through your printer. Forms can be single or multi part, NCR pads, continuous and printed full colour or single spot colours. Collating and finishing processes can involve crash numbering, perforating, gluing, multi-flexing and hole punching and NCR pads can be finished with wrap around writing covers.

Leaflets / Pamphlets
Unbound booklets printed on either one or both sides and sometimes folded to form a simple piece of marketing collateral, they are generally printed on lighter weight (thinner) paper than brochures or other corporate literature. Leaflets will often be used as part of a wide scale marketing such as a direct mail campaign or exhibition / promotional material.

Literature
Refers to a wide range of company documents for both internal and external usage. Corporations and organisations with a successful brand image will ensure that their branding is used across the board on all these items and that they maintain the same look and feel as other company documents. Artwork should therefore maintain a consistent theme and style something that can be difficult to achieve if documents are not created by a professional artworker.

Newsletters
A great way of keeping in contact with your customer base and act as a frequent reminder of your products and services. However, a poorly produced newsletter can actually be detrimental to your company image. Producing your company newsletter in house is often counter productive, taking many more man hours than an experienced artwork would take and often resulting in unprofessional results. Carbon Creative can inject style and class into your regular newsletters, producing them at lightning speed that will undoubtedly save you money compared to in house time and if you want a completely hassle free life we can even handle printing and distribution for you.

Reports
An annual report is a document which a company presents at its Annual General Meeting for approval by its shareholders. The report normally includes a profit and loss account and balance sheet, as well as a directors' report and an auditor's report. In the case of larger companies, it is usually a sleek, colorful, high gloss publication. The details provided in the report are of use to investors in gaining an understanding of the company's financial position and future direction.
