Often times at Corporate Image, we hear that the size of a customer's project is maybe smaller or a little larger than a product we show in our catalog or that a designer has something unique in mind such as die cutting a hole in the center of a folder. Our packaging experts can help you customize your project because we can modify our templates to accomodate different sizes and formats or create a mock up so you can see first hand a 3 dimensional example of your idea.

Our catalog is just the starting point to stimulate ideas...in fact it is really an idea catalog filled with project examples and line drawings of 3 ring binders, tab dividers, folders, presentation boxes and corrugated packaging. And to help you better understand the products and services at Corporate Image, we've introduced a glossary of terms to explain the different materials, processes and options available. You can go online to visit our web site, www.corp-image.com to see recent examples of our work as well and to explore how you can get the most out of your presentation project.

When you need it and don't see it, give us a call and we'll help you realize the possibilities.

Here's an idea whose time has finally come. You have produced an important proposal for generating new business and you're looking for the most effective way to present it. You want it to be attractive, professional and have presence so it stands out. However, you also want it to have a personal touch, but realize that can be a challenge when you have variable information. When a folder or spiral bound product won't do because it has to be special, consider the variable information binder from Corporate Image

We customize the binder by die-cutting a window on a FlexHinge binder wherever you want information to appear from beneath. Simple but very effective because our FlexHinge binder is so versatile. You can design the look you want and personalize the presentation without having to change the art for each individual piece. The FlexHinge binder is similar to a fine hardback book that commands attention. It can be covered in cloth or left bare to show the recycled board and communicate your green commitment or printed in full color. The design possibilities are endless. 

The 2010 catalog is a work of art...filled with 58 pages of creative packaging examples to inspire great design ideas.We've made it easier than ever before to create presentation packaging that makes a great and lasting impression. It's not just a typical catalog...it's an idea generator and resource guide to help you find the right product for your presentation. You can see all of the options and configurations from line drawings that clearly show the available styles. And if we don't have a specific style or size, you'll discover how simple it is to customize a product so it becomes the perfect vehicle to present your information.

Our product line has been designed with the environment in mind and we've noted all the earth-friendly features in the catalog with earth symbols so you can easily create responsible packaging for a LEEDS certified environment. When you want your marketing materials to reflect your environmental position, Corporate Image has the products that will impact your audience and not the environment.  Call 800.299.1009 for your free copy of our idea and design resource catalog.

When a folder won't hold all of your materials and a full sized 3 ring binder is more than you need for the project, look to our hybrid solution, the Presentation Binder. It is a essentially a pocket folder with a ring mechanism to hold and secure the contents, It offers great shelf presence at a great value. What's more is you can count on us to deliver the best printing in the industry with our offset mann roland presses, dedicated to printing only covers. Great printing and great value equals a great product for getting your message across. What's more is we make it easy to select the best product for the project and if we don't have a size or specific configuration you're looking for, we can create a custom product quickly and affordably. After all, we're the presentation experts. We'll send you a template into which you can drop your art so you don't have to worry about measurements. You can sit back and relax knowing you will receive a superior product on time that will make a great impression.

The 2010 HOW Design Conference travels to Denver, Colorado June 6-10 where we'll join the annual event that brings 3000 creatives together from all over the US and even overseas. As a major sponsor of HOW, Corporate Image contributes a ring binder that holds all of the conference materials. This will be the 15th year of providing the binder which is a great way for attendees to keep notes together in one place.

The HOW Conference provides a unique opportunity for designers to interact collectively to learn and share their experiences. Every year, there is a feautured speaker, along with other well known and admired speakers from the industry who share their expertise. This year's featured speaker is Debbie Millman. She's the president of the design division at Sterling Brands, president of the AIGA and an extremely popular HOW Conference speaker. She's also the host of the first weekly radio talk show about design, "Design Matters with Debbie Millman", and just filmed the Design Matters TV pilot with Hillman Curtis. This year at the HOW Conference, Debbie's using her more than 25 years of experience in the design industry—including redesigns of the global brands for Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, Hershey and Hasbro—to talk about why we brand and why we buy.

Corporate Image will be on hand to show conference attendees the latest designs in presentation packaing. A number of new products center around our commitment to produce environmentally responsible alternatives to vinyl that are unique and eye catching. These range from new flush cut binders to 100% recycled pocket pages to printed binders that need no lamination.

We always look forward to hearing from designers so we stay on top of industry trends and understand their needs. Our goal is to make it easy to produce the best creative solutions that are beautiful and sustainable.

Hope to see you in Denver!

For 2010, Corporate Image is unveiling a beautiful, new cover material for 3 ring binders and packaging that is sure to turn heads.  The sophisticated new line is called Manhattan and offers a selection of 11 brilliant colors that are as pleasing to the touch as they are to the eye. It is made from 100% rayon with paper backing and has a light acrylic coating to protect the surface so the fabric keeps its luster.

Manhattan joins a growing family of fine cover materials produced by LBS, our sister company in Des Moines, servicing book binders, manufacturers and publishers in the US and abroad. It's advantageous for Corporate Image that LBS carries a large inventory of attracitve book binding fabrics and papers that we can readily obtain and for the cost savings it provides our customers.

Beautiful cover materials like the new Manhattan offer another way to make a project stand out and be green at the same time. All of our binders board is made from 100% recycled, clean office waste that can be recycled in the future. And because of their construction quality, the binders willl be around for many years, so they can be reused again and again. Continuing to eliminate more waste from landfills and offering a green alternative to vinyl binders strengthens our commitment to being an industry leader in enivironmental stewardship.
