One outcome per job
Each job is tied to one outcome you name, like shelf standout or event response.
Your designer builds to it and the monthly note reports against it. No filler dashboards.
Print that earns a second look
Every Dcrayon print project rests on six commitments: work you can hold, a prepress method you can check, and reporting your finance team can read.
One outcome, brief to press
Proofs and press checks On the first call you name the piece that matters most, a product carton, a pitch brochure, or an event backdrop. Your senior designer builds the artwork to that job and reports against it each month.
One senior designer, brief to artwork
Brief to press-ready The senior designer who sets the dieline and grid for your packaging is the same one who prepares the final artwork. No trainee hands on your files.
Press-ready craft since 2016
Dcrayon AI toolkit We have prepared press files since 2016 for clients in India, the US, the UK, and the UAE. Artwork ships in CMYK with correct bleed and crop marks, every time.
Month to month after cycle one
No yearly contract After the opening 90-day plan you run month to month. We re-earn each cycle, and clients stay because each new brochure or carton keeps returning value.
One studio for the whole brand
Pieces that add up Print sits beside our identity, packaging, and event design work. Clients add nearby pieces, say a stationery set or a trade-show kit, as the brand grows.
Plain reports, no jargon
Weekly calls, monthly recap A weekly call with your designer, plus a monthly summary tied to your goal. Plain notes on what shipped and what it moved, readable by finance.
HOW DCRAYON PRINT DESIGN WORKS
How Dcrayon runs your print program across 90 days
A 90-second look at how a Dcrayon print project runs, from your opening Score readout to signed-off, press-ready artwork.
What is Print Design?
Print design covers packaging cartons, brochures, business cards, and event graphics. Three cards on what each job includes, how our prepress differs, and the number we track.
Step 1: What print design covers
Definition Print design sits within our Creative and Branding team. Each job runs as a planned build with a paper spec, a proof round, and press-ready files, scoped over a 90-day cycle and tied to one goal.
Step 2: Why our print work is different
Differentiation We have set brochures, cartons, and cards for offset and digital presses since 2016. You get PDF/X-1a files in CMYK with 3mm bleed, crop marks, and rich-black text that holds on stock without registration shift.
Step 3: How we measure the work
Measurement A Dcrayon Score readout sets the starting line. Weekly calls plus a clear monthly summary track your goal across the 90-day cycle, with a soft-proof sign-off before anything reaches the press. You are free to leave at day 90.
The print details we get right
Standard on every Dcrayon print project
Each item below maps to a real prepress step, from paper GSM and Pantone match to soft-proof and press-ready export. Set up and checked by the senior designer on your account.
Print-ready CMYK files
You get press-ready artwork in CMYK with the correct ICC profile and rich black set, so the screen and the printed sheet stay close.
Bleed, margins, and crop marks
Every file ships with 3mm bleed, safe margins inside the trim, and crop marks.
Cartons carry a dieline layer, and brochures fold on tested creases. Included on every job, never an add-on.
