Commercial Printing Portfolio:
NYC Client Work

Most pieces use one of two methods. Offset lithography handles the longer runs and color-critical jobs you see here — annual reports, catalogs, and luxury packaging — because it holds Pantone spot colors precisely and stays consistent across thousands of sheets. Digital printing covers short runs, variable-data mailers, and fast-turn proofs. Large-format inkjet produces the billboards, building wraps, and vehicle graphics. All three run in-house, so a single project can move between presses without ever waiting on an outside vendor.

Stock is chosen per project. Catalogs and books typically run on coated text weights from 80# to 100# gloss or matte; covers move up to 12pt and 18pt C2S board, often with rigid box board for luxury packaging. Stationery and invitations use cotton and uncoated stocks from 110# to 220# for letterpress and engraving. For signage we print on vinyl, mesh, foam board, Sintra, and adhesive films rated for indoor or outdoor use. If you are unsure which stock fits, we send physical paper samples before the run.

The finishing category collects our in-house specialty work: hot-foil stamping in gold, silver, and copper; single- and multi-level embossing and debossing; die cutting; soft-touch, matte, and gloss lamination; and spot UV. Binding ranges from saddle stitch for thinner catalogs to perfect binding for thicker softcovers and case (hardcover) binding with cloth covers, slipcases, and foil titling for premium books.

No. The recognizable names here — Porsche, Gucci, Belvedere, Meta, Touchland — sit alongside Broadway productions, real estate developments, independent magazines, foundations, and private wedding invitations. The same presses, finishing, and quality control apply whether you are ordering 100 boxes or 50,000 catalogs. Minimums and pricing scale to the project.

Timing depends on the product, quantity, and finishing involved — we confirm the production schedule with your quote, and rush options are available when a deadline is tight.

Send print-ready PDF/X files with fonts embedded or outlined, images at 300 DPI for offset and digital, and all artwork built in CMYK with any spot colors named as Pantone swatches. Add 0.125" bleed on every edge and keep critical text inside a safe margin. For die cuts, foil, and embossing, include a separate spot-color layer marking each effect. Large-format files can be built at scale or at a 1:10 ratio at 100-150 DPI. Our prepress team flags issues and sends a proof before anything goes to press.

Yes. Open any project in the gallery to see the exact services used, then request a quote referencing it. We can replicate the construction, stock, and finishing for your own artwork, or use it as a starting point and adjust size, materials, and effects. We also produce a physical sample for approval before committing to a full production run.

Yes. VSL Print is G7-calibrated, the standard for gray balance and consistent neutral tonality across devices and print runs. In practice that means the proof you approve matches what comes off press, and a reprint months later matches the original — important for brand colors on packaging, annual reports, and ongoing catalog programs.
