Once upon a time colorful imprints were difficult and expensive to achieve. From setup and run charges to proofing fees, what began as a seemingly inexpensive promotional item quickly grew to cost a small fortune. Thankfully, that’s a thing of the past.
With innovative decoration capabilities like that of SimpliColor®, taking a brand from 1 color to 4 color is easy and affordable. All-inclusive pricing ensures distributors and their customers aren’t hit with hidden fees—a shared benefit all around. Now any organization—from a single-person startup to a multibillion dollar company—can use full-color imprints to their brand’s marketing advantage, without breaking the bank or sacrificing quality.
What a Difference Full Color Can Make on a Product
Here’s an example of how one brand took their promo product game up a notch, by adding a second accent color to their logo (blue) and a free stock design background theme for their market (healthcare).


Now, we may be partial, but chances are that the ballpoint pen that received the 4 color treatment is more likely to draw attention than the 1 color option.
*Distributor Tip: There are more than 100 SimpliColor® stock backgrounds like the one used in the above example that are free to use with your customer logos.
The Facts on Colorful Impressions
