Buroform launches online platform for occasion printing with Designcards
After two years of brooding, brainstorming and working out, may we finally introduce it to you: our online ordering platform: Designcards. On it you can design your occasional printwork all by yourself, making it even faster to get it to you. All with the same familiar quality.
About Designcards
The mission of Buroform – of which Designcards is a part – says it all: making modern, high-quality printing accessible is what matters to us. Designcards flowed further from this idea and specialized in creating custom occasion printing. Designcards’ cards allow emotions to be translated using strong designs and artisanal printing techniques such as letterpress (impression) and foil printing.
With Designcards, we especially want to inspire people with beautiful designs for their printing. We are starting with some wedding and birth cards, but behind the scenes we are working hard on new designs and additions to celebrate even more beautiful moments with a “Designcard.
Why online?
We want to lower the barrier to ordering high-quality (custom) printing. Today everything goes digital, but when it comes to high-quality printing, it’s hard to find your way online. In addition, it also takes a lot of energy to have a design done by a graphic designer or request a quote if you don’t already know the possibilities. To these shortages, our new platform should provide a clear answer.
For example, you can order a sample pack through Designcards’ website. This package introduces you to different styles, finishes and paper choices. On the online ordering platform, you can then choose the design that suits your style. Do you prefer to create your own? That too can be done online. The online editor makes it very easy to modify existing designs or to simply start from a blank card.
In the ordering process, you can calculate your own price and create compositions (for example: envelope + card + sticker). After your order, our experts are ready to check each design extra carefully. Immediately after approval, your design can go into print.
Who is Designcards intended for?
Designcards is designed for individuals, for people who want to be inspired or who are looking for beautiful ready-made designs that perfectly fit the moment. In addition, it is also intended for people who would like to be immediately informed (prices, options, methods, etc.) and get started themselves.
“We stand out. No thirteen-in-a-dozen, but creative and inspiring designs. We go for genuine craftsmanship. Quality comes first, both in production and in our customer service. The printed matter is made with love and you can feel that from the moment you hold it in your hands.” – Lisa De Kegel, graphic designer
Future Vision
Behind the scenes, diligent work continues on Designcards’ offerings. On the one hand, in breadth: new categories such as “party,” “communion” and “Christmas and New Year cards” are being added.
On the other hand, in depth: for example, in the near future there will be a whole range of products to order by design. Are you choosing a birth announcement card? Then you will also be able to choose a matching baby shower card, a christening sugar label or sticker, envelopes, closing seals and so much more.
The same goes for wedding cards. If you choose a particular wedding invitation, you can already start with a save-the-date card and complete the whole wedding with menu cards, table cards, name cards to even thank you cards in the same style.
