Business Essentials

Small businesses need to make a big impression at every meeting and a first-time introduction. Print marketing essentials such as business cards, shipping and address labels, carbonless forms, and presentation folders help put your company’s best face forward. Each item shows you have the means to run and maintain your products and services.

Customize every detail of your business essentials to ensure consistent and powerful branding. From the size, coating, to material, UPrinting offers only the best choices for your business essentials. Here are a few ways you can maximize our multitude of printing choices.

Print sleek and chic business cards.

Design in the standard U.S. business card size or get creative with a 3”x 3” square. Alternatively, you can stand out with a circle, oval, folded, or any die-cut shape in your first introduction. Premium printing options in silk, velvet, metallic, and plastic are also available.

Stand out in shiny gloss or extra vibrant high gloss coating.

Brand your packaging with shipping or return address labels that bring out the brightness of your design. Gloss coating gives a smooth sheen, while high-gloss UV elevates your labels or stickers with a mirror-like shine.

Design branded giveaways for employees and customers.

Every office needs notebooks, notepads, and pens to continue daily operations. Order all these in bulk to save costs and ensure a months-long supply for your business. You can also give out these office business essentials at conferences, client meetings, and other important interactions with customers.

Send out excellent designs for your correspondences.

Design envelopes and notepads that boosts brand recall upon receipt. You can print up to 100 sheets per pad or distribute it at 25 on the durable cardboard back. Office business essentials such as letterheads are printed on 70 lb. paper that allows for high-quality writability and printability.

Create a well-planned logo.

Your logo is what will represent your company for the next coming decades. It is what establishes your brand’s graphical identity and ultimately sets the path from recognition to loyalty for your customers. The overall look should also clearly show what your company does or stands for. Make sure to hire a professional designer when creating your business’ logo. They’ll decide whether a font, illustration, or graphic-based logo works best for your brand.

Decide on a consistent set of fonts and colors.

Despite the high chance that you’ll be sending out your business stickers and envelopes on different occasions, using the same set of fonts and colors for all your marketing essentials is crucial for your brand identity. You can vary the designs for stickers or envelopes, but both materials must appear like they’re from the same family. This keeps your branding consistent across all messaging and encourages association with the design elements used.

Keep everything simple.

Your designs need to be easy to read and not distract your customers from the message. Avoid cluttering and crowding elements. Use a minimalistic approach and only keep what is necessary for your marketing essentials design.

Can I order in bulk to save on printed office essentials?

Yes, the larger your order, the less you spend on each item. Label and sticker orders above 250 are best ordered in the cut-to-size format.
