Design Professionals

At Zellerbach, we know that the earlier we can get involved with a project, the better we can help our customer achieve the end result they want. That’s why we have an extensive offering for designers.

Impacting the Bottom Line
How can Zellerbach’s commitment to creative professionals make a difference for customers? A quick example: Not long ago, Zellerbach worked with a catalog company to provide some dummy catalogs based on the specs from the designer. After reviewing them, the client realized it would cost far too much to mail the pieces; however, they didn’t want to compromise the integrity of the paper. A Zellerbach team member worked with the designer to reduce the product weight by doing simple things like swapping out the envelope. In the end, Zellerbach helped the client keep the same paper quality but reduce mailing costs by $10,000. 
 
Closing the Loop
Designers are often bombarded with information—but it’s not always the right information for the project at hand. At Zellerbach, our spec team members work directly with designers to review paper specifications. We come at it from multiple angles, educating both the printer and the agency on the finer points of paper selection so that when it’s time to get the presses rolling, everyone is happy.
 
Design Resources
When a designer has easy access to technical information up front, the entire process runs much more smoothly. Through our creative professionals offering, we provide quick answers to common design questions, and we’re happy to offer the following Web-based tools:
