Australia’s largest trade printer CMYKhub will demonstrate its Design Desk online subscription, graphic design & prepress platform at PacPrint in June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Design Desk was launched 18 months ago to provide printers and sign companies with access to a whole team of graphic designers and prepress operators at the click of a button.
“This service fills the void left post pandemic of many creative staff that were forced to move on or reduce their hours in the wake of business downturn,” the company said. “Design Desk has also provided many businesses including designers and creative agencies the ability to scale quickly at a very low cost.”
CMYKhub said it's heard the calls from its 4000 trade partners for greater support in filling the gap between client brief and putting ink on paper.
CMYKhub’s multi-level monthly subscription web platform connects the Australian Visual Media industry to CMYKhub’s team of qualified designers. Users select from the list of services, whether it be adding bleed to existing artwork or creating a printed product from scratch. Collaboration with the design team is easy via the Design Desk workflow. Anyone can instantly become a Creative Director to manage their artwork without any formal training.
CMYKhub’s national communications manager Glen Francis says Design Desk was particularly useful to businesses earlier this year when the pandemic struck down much of Australia’s workforce.
“Design Desk never calls in sick and never goes on holidays, it is a dependable resource. Many of our early subscribers have also utilised the service to be that extra half a staff member they need when they get busy or their designer needs to concentrate on a complex job.”
Design Desk features:
4 Subscription levels starting at $239+GST per month
5 days a week, 11 hours a day of qualified designers working on your artwork
45 days you can pause your account if business is quiet
$50,000 per year saving when you compare the premium subscription to hiring a full time designer.
PacPrint attendees are encouraged to pre-book a demo or visit Stand D26 to learn how some printers are saving up to $50,000 a year on graphic design and prepress expenses.
As a trade printer, CMYKhub manufactures for other printers, graphic designers, signwriters, marketing and advertising agencies. The company operates out of five production hubs in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns and Perth. Each factory is equipped with Indigo digital presses, roll to roll and flatbed wide format machines, along with A1 offset presses in capital cities. The large national manufacturing footprint provides speed to market for trade partners.
PacPrint 2021 is co-hosted by Visual Connections and the Print & Visual Communications Association (PVCA). The show will co-locate with Visual Impact Melbourne and the Label & Packaging Expo at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from Tuesday 28 June to Friday 1 July, 2022.
