Aardvark - Business Stationery


Newsletters Do you run a club or an association? Does your business benefit from a monthly newsletter to keep customers in touch and up to date? We can help you produce a professional looking (and feeling) newsletter. Flat or folded, the format can be exactly what you want and what works best in your marketplace. We can work with your existing layout/design or help you to come up with a new look. Typical sizes might be A4 (297mm x 210mm) or A5 (210mm x 148.5mm) and the chosen material can be matched to budget. And remember should you need a new logo or design style to encompass the newsletter, we can help you come up with an image to suit budget and business type.

Printed envelopes Our digital technology allows us to extend the branding possibilities even to those ancillary items of stationery such as envelopes and labels. What better way to have an impact to your client base than to hit them with a corporate image even before they have opened the mail? We can design and print all sizes of envelope to further enhance your branding. Many colours and finishes also available. Whether it is just the simplicity of a logo to catch the eye or the portrayal of a key company message to the outside world, personalised envelopes finish off that overall corporate branding ensemble.

Catalogues Are you running a product based business that needs to have a brochure or catalogue to best show what it is that you have for sale?

Aardvark can design a product catalogue to your needs, produce it on the stock that you like and in a format that best suits your marketplace. Folded or flat, large or small, lightweight & plain or heavyweight & glossy, all options available, please discuss your requirements with us.

We can also offer help with sourcing product images or product photography should this be required. And don’t forget the great thing about short run production technology is that you can have exactly the (small) quantity you require to meet demand, and then change it for the next run (great for your pricing), keeping the information right up to date!






Business stationery

Business cards Standard (85mm x 55mm) or custom sizes; typically on quality 300gsm smooth white board. Other weights, finishes and colours available. Bespoke designs e.g. folded “double cards” or different shapes possible (ask for a sample). Printed one or two sided.

We only do ‘premium’ cards as standard unlike some suppliers, but you don’t pay more – remember your business card is the first piece of marketing that you hand to a new client, so make sure it makes a good first impression and a lasting one!



Letterheads (& Continuation sheets) Typical size is A4 (297mm x 210mm). Standard papers available in the range 70gsm to 120gsm. Many other colours and finishes available. Printed one or two sided. Having professionally designed and printed business stationery shows that you're professional. It creates a memorable visual ‘branding’ of your company. Whether you're sending a sales letter, a quotation, an order or a thank you letter, make sure your logo/image is printed on all your correspondence.

Compliment slips Typical size is ‘one third A4’ (99mm x 210mm) to fit DL envelopes. Standard papers available in the range 70gsm to 120gsm. Many other sizes, colours and finishes available – different formats for different needs! Printed one or two sided. Compliment slips are still commonly used in the workplace as an ideal way of sending brief messages to clients and/or identifying items that are posted. They are an inexpensive way of extending the branding of your company image still further. They can also be used in small quantities as a mailshot that can be overprinted by your office laser printer (although always consider the alternative short run specially designed flyer!).



Postcards Typical size is A6 (148.5mm x 105mm) to fit C6 envelopes. Standard boards available in the range 200gsm to 350gsm. Many other sizes, colours and finishes available – different formats for different needs! Printed one or two sided. Post or Note cards have many uses, and have become popular as a means of advertising in shops, bars and supermarkets. They can be used as a way of sending brief messages to clients, recording details of an appointment or another method of marketing your services. Having your details in the public arena extends your company image to the widest possible audience. The heavier weight stock means they have a more quality feel, something potential clients recognise as they receive them.


Estimates/devis & Invoice/factures (& Receipts) Typical sizes are either A4 (297mm x 210mm) or A5 (210mm x 148.5mm). Standard papers available in the range 70gsm to 120gsm. Many other sizes, colours and finishes available. Multi part sets on multi colour NCR (see below) also possible. Printed one or two sided. Having professionally designed and printed estimates and invoices shows that you're professional, organised and legal. They can be designed and printed either for overprinting on your office printer or for circumstances where you need to produce copies ‘on the fly’ you can have NCR sets that allow you to hand write details for a quick solution.

NCR stationery/business form sets Carbonless stationery is still common in France, especially in a rural economy where business if often conducted ‘out of office’. We can design and print NCR business form sets on premium 90gsm NCR stock and give you the option of having those sets either loose or in pad form. All sizes available depending upon document type. White, blue, green, pink and yellow shades available. 3 part sets typical but various combinations possible depending upon needs.


Address labels Four colour labels in small quantities are now possible! All sizes available on 100gsm quality self-adhesive label material. The standard label material has a white backing, but your design can mean this is covered by solid colour incorporating your company image making the labels look very individual. Larger labels can incorporate four colour images e.g. photos.

Another great idea here is that you can have a base label (template) designed and printed by Aardvark, but leave space for the labels to be overprinted by you on your office printer. We are happy to assist you in the set up of your documents in this situation. Inkjet and Laser label variants available.



Price lists/menus
Running a bar, restaurant, gîte, ‘bed and breakfast’ or hotel? Need price lists for your product range? Why not consider specially designed four colour price lists or menus? All sizes possible depending upon document type. Many stocks, colours and finishes available – different formats for different needs! Printed one or two sided. Laminating is an option for documents that are handled a great deal. Heavier stock can be used and designed in a folded form for table or counter top locations.

Corporate Advertising cards

Typical size is A6 (148.5mm x 105mm). Standard boards available in the range 200gsm to 350gsm. Many other sizes, colours and finishes available – different formats for different needs! Printed one or two sided.

Advert cards are a variation of the postcard idea specifically intended as a method of advertising your business, product or services. Having your details in the public arena extends your company image to the widest possible audience. Endless possibilities exist as to size and shape with the main aim of getting you noticed. Folded advert cards prove very popular as on heavier stock they are ‘self-supporting’ meaning no display holders are necessary and that they can stand on desk, bar or counter tops.

Why not consider giving 5 or 10 personalised advertising postcards to visitors to your gîte, B&B, Auberge or Chateau? If they want more they can buy them but if they send them back to friends and family, what a great low cost way to advertise your business directly!
