Congratulations to the City of Stuart on their 100th Birthday…Today!

Multicolor Printing is proud to have been chosen to print the city’s Centennial Invitation Package and Poster. Hopefully, a copy of each piece will be added to the Time Capsule and be seen again 50 years from now as Multicolor Printing approaches its Centennial.

Multicolor Printing, Stuart Florida, has donated an invitation package to the Elliott Museum. The four-piece package was mailed recently to the museum’s capital campaign donors. It consisted of a full-color invitation, an RSVP card and two envelopes. The Campaign Donor Appreciation reception will be held at the Elliott Museum on Wednesday, February 27th at 6pm. The event is by invitation only.

Multicolor Printing has a long tradition of partnering with the Elliott Museum. The Elliott Museum was one of Multicolor Printing’s first customers when it was founded in 1967.
After undergoing a $20 million dollar ‘green’ re-building, the new 48,000-square-foot Elliott Museum will open March 3, 2013. The museum, a 53-year-old Martin County institution, has undergone a major re-visioning as well. Focusing on art, history and technology, the new Elliott Museum aims to tell the rich story of our region, capture the spirit of innovation that has left an indelible mark on the American psyche, and celebrate the power of originality (from the Elliott Museum’s website).

Another example of the outstanding design talent located here on the Treasure Coast is the invitation package and program designed by Debbie Kearney at Barrows Kearney Design Group for the upcoming Humane Society of the Treasure Coast‘s annual fundraising gala named, ‘Dancing through the Decades’.

The main feature of the four piece invitation package is the circular die cutting for the full-color invitations and RSVP cards. As you can see, the invitation was designed to look and feel like an actual record album, while the RVSP card replicates a compact disk. Both items were printed on our 5-color Heidelberg Speedmaster offset press and then die cut on our Heidelberg KSBA die cutting press.

There is no doubt the recipients of the invitation felt like dancing as soon as they received the package in the mail and opened the outer envelope. A big thanks to Jackie Ranaldo, Community Relations Manager at the Humane Society, for choosing Multicolor Printing to produce and mail the package.

 

Multicolor Printing has a long history of partnering with non-profit organizations to help get their message out. We recognize the vital role non-profit organizations play in our community and as such, we offer our deepest discounts to 501c3 groups. Most often our partnerships revolve around brochures, postcards, letterheads, envelopes, invitation packages for gala fund-raising events or year-end appeal campaigns, including direct mail.

Non-profits, religious and charity organizations depend on donors for survival. Their goal is to reach all income levels of donors, from high income to low. Direct mail and printing in general are a mainstay of these organizations fundraising plans. In this endeavor, it is critical that non-profit organization be cautious in the types of printing they have produced, especially for appeal campaigns. If they print and mail items perceived to be too costly, the lower end of their donors might be offended. Conversely, if they mail something unprofessional or cheap, they run the risk of not being taken seriously by high-end donors.

At Multicolor Printing, we provide a variety of printing methods to cover both ends of this spectrum. We offer low-cost digital printing and black-ink offset printing for simple, small-quantity items such as letters, flyers and envelopes. In addition, we offer five-color offset printing for brochures, event posters and newsletters, as well as the embellishments: embossing, foil stamping and die cutting for eye-catching gala invitations.

To summarize, Multicolor Printing is a complete, one-stop print shop for non-profit organizations. We offer an outstanding balance of print production methods, a balance found no where else on the Treasure Coast. If you are responsible for your non-profit organizations printing needs, give us a call at 287-1676. We are certain you’ll be very pleased.

We would be remiss if we did not mention that other candidates asked us to help with their campaigns too, but we had to decline. In the interest of full-disclosure, some candidates chose not to work with us as we were already producing some of their competitor’s materials. We would also like to point out that several candidates chose not to work with local vendors and had their campaign products and services produced outside their local voting district. This seems unconscionable at any time, but seems particularly insensitive in light of the current economic condition of our region.

In addition, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to have produced many of the printing needs for Supervisor of Elections, Vicky Davis and her terrific staff at the Martin County Elections office.

We Offer Both

Are you confused about the differences between offset printing and digital printing? Do you know the advantages of each? At Multicolor Printing, we are both a digital printing company and an offset printing company, so we can provide an objective perspective on both options.

Here is a short summation of each:

OFFSET PRINTING:

• Higher Quality (although, for average need, digital is a quality product as well)
• Prints specific ink colors best (PMS color match)
• Prints screen tints better (a percentage of a solid color)
• Much lower cost per piece at higher quantities (especially over 1000 quantity)
• Larger sheet size capability (digital is usually limited to 13 x 19)
• Heavier (thicker) paper options- up to 17pt and higher

DIGITAL PRINTING:

• Best for quickest turn-around times
• Best for small quantities
• Best prices per piece for small quantities.
• One piece of equipment can perform multiple operations (print, staple, fold)
• Can allow for personalized or variable data on every piece

As noted above, we offer both offset and digital printing, so it’s not unusual for us to use a combination of both printing formats on one project. For instance, we utilize offset and digital printing methods quite frequently on invitation packages in which the invitations will print via offset, but the RSVP cards will print digitally. Books are another example. We often print the full-color covers utilizing offset printing, but the black and white text pages will print on our digital press.

But, you needn’t worry. You don’t have to concern yourself about which printing method your project will require. We take care of that for you. All you need to know is that Multicolor Printing has a variety of IN-HOUSE production methods (unmatched on the Treasure Coast) which assure you the best quality and value. So relax. If you are in need of brochures, newsletters, invitations, posters, newsletters, postcards, stationery, business cards, note cards, or any printed product, we have the press for you. It’s just another part of our superior service.
