# Graphic design for companies > Graphic design for companies: brochures, catalogues, company profiles and stationery, from the text to print-ready files for your printer. Page: https://www.studiojem.it/en/services/graphic-design/ Brochures, catalogues and business cards that read in the hand, not just on a screen. We design brochures, catalogues, company profiles and stationery for companies: text and hierarchy first, then the graphics, through to print-ready files. Prices start from 150 €, and the price follows the work: a business card is not a catalogue. The source files stay yours. A brochure changes hands at a trade fair, a catalogue stays on the counter, a business card ends up in a wallet. Graphic design is there to make these pieces of paper say something in the few seconds someone looks at them. We are a graphic design studio for companies: we lay out brochures, catalogues and company profiles, and we look after corporate stationery down to the design of business cards, folders and badges. We start from the text and the hierarchy, and we deliver print-ready files and a PDF for email. We work with companies all over Italy. As a graphic design and communication agency we keep paper and digital together: the company brochure uses the same typefaces and the same images as the website, and catalogue design follows the seasons of the price list. In Sardinia we work for those who exhibit at trade fairs on the mainland and for those who receive customers in port, on site or in the shop. For a graphic design studio based here, graphic design means this: printed pieces that stand comparison with those made in Milan. The same goes for advertising graphics: the poster, the roll-up, the page in the on-board magazine. ## Who we do it for - **Yachting & Marine** — A brochure with the gulf, the services and the plan of the mooring fields, to hand to whoever arrives in port. - **Construction** — A brochure that explains how you build, to leave on the table during a negotiation, even before the website exists. - **Retail & Boutiques** — Catalogue, business cards and swing tags with the same mark, the pieces of paper the customer takes away. - Hotels & Resorts - Restaurants - Real Estate & Luxury - Food & Wineries - Wellness & Beauty - Healthcare - Tourism & Experiences - SaaS & Digital Products - Automotive & Services - Training & Education - Engineering & Energy - Events & Weddings - Professional firms - Architecture & Interiors - Gyms & Fitness ## What's included ### Brochures and leaflets From the bifold for a trade fair to the ten-page brochure. For [5 Star Mooring](/en/work/5-star-mooring/) it is nine pages: the gulf seen from above, the three pillars of the service, the plan of the mooring fields. ### Catalogues and price lists Many products, one grid that holds them all: consistent photos, codes and prices where the eye looks for them, an index people use. A catalogue is updated every season, so we set it up to be reopened. ### Company profile Who you are, what you do, who you have done it for, in a few pages to send before a negotiation. Written and laid out as a document to read, not as a printed website. ### Stationery Business cards, letterhead, folders, badges, email signature: the small pieces that change hands every day. For [Francesco Piras](/en/work/francesco-piras/) there are four cards, one for each colour combination of the mark. ### Signage and displays Shop sign, totem, trade-fair panels, window graphics. We design them for the distance they are read from, and test them to scale before sending them to print. ### Artwork and printing Bleeds, crop marks, colour profiles, papers and finishes chosen with the printer. If you like, we handle the quotes and the colour proof: one point of contact from the text to the delivered parcel. ## Method A printed piece is read in the hand, quickly and only once. That is why we start from the text and the hierarchy, and the graphics come after. - **Content** — What the person holding it needs to know, in what order, and what they should do next. If there is no text, we write it; if there is, we shorten it. - **Flatplan** — The structure page by page, with the weights decided before the colours. You approve the skeleton, not the looks. - **Layout** — Grid, typefaces and brand images, page after page. Revisions are agreed before we start. - **Artwork and proof** — Files to the printer's specifications, then a colour proof on the chosen paper. We correct on the sheet, not on the print run. - **Print and PDF** — The print run followed through to delivery, and a light PDF version for email and the website. The source files stay yours. ## What we build with Pages are built in InDesign, with paragraph styles and grids that let you update a catalogue without redoing it. Illustrator for icons, maps and plans, Photoshop for images, Pantone and CMYK profiles checked on the real paper. The PDF for digital use comes out light and with working links, because a twenty-megabyte brochure sent as an attachment is a brochure nobody opens. InDesign · Illustrator · Photoshop · Pantone · Interactive PDF · Colour proof ## Do you still need print? In 2026 a lot goes through a link, and that is fine. But there are moments when a sheet of paper is worth more than a web page. - **When you do** — At a trade fair, in a negotiation, when handing over a finished job, in a shop next to the till: wherever someone holds out a hand, a well-made printed piece stays on the table. - **When a PDF is enough** — If the document only ever travels as an attachment, a well laid-out PDF does the same job and can be updated in an hour. - **When you need a page** — If it has to be found on Google, print is not enough: the content also goes on the [website](/en/services/websites/), where it can be read and searched. ## The mistakes that make a printed piece useless A brochure is thrown away in ten seconds if it says nothing in ten seconds. The mistakes are almost always these three. - **The website pasted onto paper** — The same paragraphs as the website, in 9-point type, over six pages. People read less on paper, and faster: the text has to be rewritten for that format. - **Everything at the same weight** — Headings, lists and contact details all the same. A page with no hierarchy isn't skimmed, it is abandoned. - **Files not ready for the printer** — No bleeds, in RGB, with low-resolution images: the result comes out cropped and dull, and you pay for the print run twice. ## How much it costs **from 150 €** The price goes up with the pages, the text to write and the formats: a business card and a ten-page brochure are not the same job. To choose what to print first, see our Italian guides on what corporate stationery includes, on graphic design studio versus branding agency, and on what a company profile should contain. ## FAQ ### How much does a company brochure cost? Graphic design starts from 150 €. The price follows the work: a leaflet on ready-made text is not a company profile written from scratch. Printing is paid to the printer, on quotes you see first. Our quote is written and free: after a call, or from the configurator at /en/quote/. ### How long does it take? A leaflet or a set of business cards in 1-2 weeks, a brochure or a catalogue in 2-4, depending on pages and text. Printing adds a few days, depending on paper and finishes. ### Do you handle the printing too? Yes, if you like: we ask printers for quotes, follow the colour proof and check the print run. If you already have a printer, we prepare the files to their specifications. ### Printed brochure or PDF? Often both: the version for the printer and a light PDF for email, from the same file. Which one matters more depends on where you will use it, at a trade fair or in a negotiation by email. ### Do you work with companies outside Sardinia? Yes. The flatplan and the drafts are reviewed as PDFs, revisions are made in writing and the printer can be near you. We work this way with companies all over Italy.
