Boxing Clever from Fresh
When it comes to designing boxes we have a lot of experience in the field of how they are made, what works and how to make them look good, there are many things we print, but from a design perspective boxes are quite difficult as there are so many elements to incorporate. Firstly it has to look good, then you have to make sure its sturdy and then make sure it all pieces together as they are all normally supplied flat packed to be made up and then you have to get the design to work 3d.
All this has to come together to a deadline as well, so when we started designing Iain Rennies money box it wasn't as straight forward as you might think. But looking at the finished result we ticked all the boxes and the client was very pleased.
So when your looking at a piece of packaging whether its a tube of Smarties or an egg box, spare a thought for the practical work gone into it to get it to where it is.

No emergencies here
as Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance come on board.
One of the good things that comes from a client is great feedback to our services and this was the case for one of our newest customers this year, Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance.
We have been designing and printing their newsletter and various other pieces of communications over the last year and the feedback once the jobs are finished and delivered are most welcome.
The newsletter itself is a 100,000 prints and we were able to design a great piece of artwork that gave the charity a big donation from the first time it went out.
Thames Valley said ' Andy, Jan and the team at Fresh have been brilliant, its great that I can come in and sit with the designers and chat about what we want to achieve. Im so pleased with the finished result.'
Andy added ' Its been an absolute pleasure working with Thames Valley Air, they have some great ideas of where they want to be and it makes our designers job easier when a client is passionate about their business as well, the stories are a great read and the pictures just add the excitement to what is a really well thought out newsletter.'

New Fresh Logo For A Fresh New School
We love designing logos and brands and this one was a special one, we designed the original Aylesbury Vale Academy logo many years ago and we were asked to come up with a logo for the new Berryfields Primary School which is situated next to the newly built Secondary School.
What we had to do was to keep some similarities with the existing school but it was to still have its own identity, so what we achieved was a logo that kept the ideals of the original AVA logo with the ticks but changed the colours to a more softer pastel, there was also a strapline change to both schools to encourage students to join for the journey.
Jan the designer who led this creative campaign said ' striking, simple and effective logo that met the clients brief exactly, fits like a glove with the existing AVA logo, job well done.'

Fresh Andy - Superhero for a day
As part of Florence Nightingales 25 years of Hospice care our Director Andy took part in the Superhero Fun Run.
It was a Sunday morning on which you wouldn't have wanted to get out of bed ,as it was wet, cold and early, but that did not dampen the spirits of over 200 superheroes.
The event was held around Watermead Lake and featured the likes of Batman and Robin, Bananaman and our very own Flash as well.
It was started with a warm up from the Nuffield Health Team and Mix 96 radio were there commentating on the whole event.
It was a great success and the event now in its third year has grown each time. Andy said' It was just fantastic to be involved and have fun as Ive always wanted to be a Superhero for a day.'

5 years on and still Fresh
Yes we are now a whopping 5 years old and wow what 5 years it has been, we started Fresh at the start of a recession and we are still here, stronger than ever and even more creative and Fresh.
Over the last 5 years we have been successfully helping clients start businesses, rebrand their business and for some achieve their goals and we have grown with them.
Our brand of 'Design & Print The Way It Should Be' started out as our own personal values of how we wanted to be seen and how a customer should be treated when coming into contact with us and we have kept these values throughout and has kept us in good stead.
We have forged some great long lasting relationships with clients and we have had a great adventure with them as well. We have grown from just the one branch to 3, and now have 6 designers in our creative suite, and the best finishing department in the area. We have grown our sales force and our extensive client base range from high profile blue chip brands to someone who is just starting out.
We have been asked many times about how we have survived through one of the hardest recessions and we always answer ' ask one of our thousands of customers and they will tell you why, after all the results speak for themselves.'
So what can you expect from us over the next year, well there are new products coming in our design suite with apps, we will be launching our online web 2 print site next year and as ever there will be some unexpected surprises of new kit arriving and new staff as well.
So keep checking back to see what we have been up to.
