As a small business, print is an essential tool to help you maximise your reach and get your brand into the hands and minds of those that matter most.
We love a funny Greeting Card or two here at Printed.com, and stunning Wedding Stationery is a regular feature on this slot, but now we’re taking a look at the essential print that keeps small businesses ticking.

We’ll show you how even the tiniest essentials can be extraordinary, so take a look through some of our favourite customer creations right here. Don’t forget, for your chance to get featured, just tag us using #ProudlyPrinted!

Portico Kitchen – Leaflets and Business Cards

Nothing beats a Leaflet when it comes to spreading the word as a small business – and when south-London based vegan cafe, Portico Kitchen, opened its doors, they created these full-colour, photographic handouts, adorned with their delicious cuisine to let everyone know what’s in store. Plus, they printed some simple striking Business Cards, printed on recycled paper for an extra eco-edge too! Does anyone wanna take a trip with us? That vegan full english is calling our name…

Abbey Withington – Business Cards

Sure, one Business Card is fine, but why not take a leaf out of Abbey Withington’s book and create a multitude of designs or colours with yours? We love her pared down shades and simple crayon style hand drawn logo, it perfectly encapsulates her illustration and design business.

Alice Perry – Business Cards and Postage Labels

Showing us how to create the ultimate suite of branded products, Alice Perry’s harmonious colour scheme, bold typography and logo are ticking all the right boxes! We love the use of round corners on her Business Cards too, it adds an unusual twist which perfectly offsets her strong geometric lines.

Farrar Studio – Business Cards

When you need to make a good impression, nothing does it better than a sleek, simply designed Business Card to cut through the noise. Proving that less is more, Farrar Studio combine striking, bold typography with textured paper for a tactile finish that everyone will want to takeaway. Plus, with such a pared down approach, these sophisticated cards stand out – simply.

E Harvey Art – Compliment Slips, Business Cards and Stickers

The humble Compliment slip is often underrated, but it’s oh so important when it comes to Business Stationery. Ideal for adding a personal, handwritten touch, E Harvey Art created hers using a self portrait – which transcends to her Business Cards and Stickers too!
