Stolze Printing

The concept behind the 2e brand focuses on the balance of traditionally right-brained and left-brained dualities of a creative business. For example, blue is for the analytical business side and red is for the emotional creative side. The business cards are even roll-specific with red ink for the art director and blue ink for the accountant.

Project Description

We undertook a massive rebranding initiative that began with the development of a new 2eCreative.com. The site was developed to have 2 distinct sides—left brain and right brain, i.e. business and creativity—represented by a blue/red color scheme. This new brand was applied across a variety of collateral materials, creating a fresh, uncluttered look that spoke to our dual nature, both sides working in harmony to develop simple, smart creative for our clients.

Production Lesson(s)

The business cards were just painful. The clear foil was the main challenge because we insisted to have this done not only on both sides of the cards, but also in the same spot. After the first hit, it weakened the paper for the second hit on the other side, and therefore caused some issues. After that issue was fixed, we ran into trimming issues as the back was hit twice with black on uncoated and it was cracking on some edges. Seriously, we are just happy and relieved to have a great looking card.”
