Print design and marketing collateral in Bastia, Corsica
From Bastia, we design your marketing collateral, in print or on screen. A brochure, a flyer, a roll-up banner, a restaurant menu, a sign, a presentation. Each document carries your visual identity, gets the essentials across at a glance, and reaches you as files ready for the printer or the screen.
What we design, from brochures to roll-up banners
- 01
Brochures and booklets
A few pages or a leaflet presenting your business, your services or your holiday offer. You hand it over in person, or send it as a PDF.
- 02
Flyers and posters
An opening, a promotion, an event. The message is short and dated, easy to see, and understood within seconds by someone walking past.
- 03
Roll-up banners and exhibition stands
A roll-up banner is a vertical banner that unrolls and stores away in its base. You bring it out for a trade fair, a reception area or an event.
- 04
Signage
Shop signs, window graphics (the stickers applied to a shop window), information or wayfinding panels inside a building, access maps.
- 05
Menus, cards and stationery
Restaurant menus, business cards, letterhead, loyalty cards, labels, counter displays.
- 06
Digital media
Sales presentations, newsletter templates, visuals for display screens, interactive PDF documents, web banners.

Window graphics, promotional posters, loyalty cards, bags. The same image from the window to the counter.

From mock-up to print-ready file
- 01
Understand
What is the material for? Where will it be seen, how many copies, in what format, and how will it be distributed?
- 02
Design
We produce a complete mock-up, with the text and images in place. You proofread and approve it before anything is produced.
- 03
Prepare the files
Files in CMYK, the colour mode printers use, with bleed (the image extended beyond the trim to avoid white edges), crop marks and high-resolution images.
- 04
Support printing
We advise you on paper and finishes, and can pass the files to the printer of your choice, in Corsica or elsewhere. The proof, or BAT in French, is the final version to approve before printing starts.
What makes marketing material work
- 01
One main message
A flyer that tries to say everything says nothing. Together we find the piece of information that has to jump out.
- 02
A clear hierarchy
A headline, the useful information, then an action. Call, book, come by, or scan a QR code leading to your website or your reviews page.
- 03
Legibility at a distance
A roll-up banner or a sign is read from afar, in passing. Few words, large type, strong contrast.
- 04
Consistency with your identity
Your website's colours and tone should turn up on paper too, with the same typefaces. That is what makes you recognisable from one medium to the next.
- 05
Suitable materials
Outdoors, sun and sea air quickly damage some materials. The choice of material and inks matters as much as the design.
- 06
What to avoid
Too much text, low-resolution images taken from the internet, out-of-date information. Or a French-only version for an international clientele.
What changes the cost of your marketing materials
Two things need separating. The design, which we do, and the printing, billed by the printer on the basis of quantity and paper, plus any finishes. On the design side, cost depends on the number of items and pages, and on their complexity (illustrations, maps, photo retouching). The number of languages and formats also plays a part, as does whether brand guidelines already exist.
Designing several items at once often lets the work be shared. Once the graphic line is set, each new item takes less effort. The quote details every element, in simple terms.
Updating your materials from one season to the next
Prices, opening hours, menu, programme. In a seasonal business in Corsica, a lot of material changes often. We keep your source files so these updates never start from scratch. For documents you edit yourself, such as a menu or an event poster, we can prepare editable templates.
We also check that print and digital say the same thing. The flyer points to an up-to-date page, the QR code works, and the hours on the shop window are the ones on your Google listing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the printing?
We design the materials and prepare files that meet the printer's requirements. The printing itself is done by the printer of your choice. We can send them the files, answer their technical questions, and check the proof with you.
Can I supply my own text and photos?
Yes. We lay them out and adapt them to the format, flagging any images too weak for print. We can also write or rework the copy from your information.
Can you produce versions in several languages?
Yes. From the mock-up stage we leave room for each language, because English or Italian text does not run to the same length as French. You supply the translations, ideally checked by a native speaker, and we put them in.
I have no brand guidelines. Is that a problem?
No. We can work from your logo to draw up a simple graphic line. If the need is broader, we create a complete visual identity. Either way, your documents will stay consistent with one another.
What is the difference between a print file and a screen file?
A print file uses CMYK colours at high resolution, with bleed for trimming. A screen file is in RGB and lighter. It can also contain clickable links. We deliver the right version for each use.
