duotone

Tyler Blik has been providing creativity to San Diego for almost 30 years and with that experience brings the understanding that to make an impression sometimes less is more.


The above project is a 2 color stationery set including an amazing Duotone.
For those unaware a Duotone is a combination of 2 colors typically Black and a pms color which create an image. Duotone's were extremely popular in years past but with new technology most today are creating everything is full color (4 color process). While designing in full color has advantages utilizing techniques like Duotone's can not only save money but create a finished look unmatched by process printing.

Die Cut Recipe Cards

A new project for Sycuan, they wanted to feature 5 of their recipes for their guests to enjoy. Each card features an appetizing picture on the front and the recipe on the inside.
Printed 4 color 2 sides + a Matte Varnish on 100# Jefferson Velvet Cover and finished off with a custom die cut + score.

Postage increase in 2011

Postal rates will increase January, 2011.

The United States Postal Service today filed for a price increase with the Postal Regulatory Commission. Overall, the increase will average 5.6%.

First-Class Mail will rise 5.4% on average making a first class stamp 46 cents. Presorted letter prices will increase an average of 2.1 cents. Presorted flats will jump about 12%, on average.

Standard Mail prices will increase an average of 5.6%. The increase for standard letters will be about 5.0% and flats 5.1%. STD parcels will jump 23.3%, since they currently do not cover their costs. Other classification changes will be proposed as well.

Periodicals will increase by 8% and Package Services will increase 7%, except for Bound Printed Matter flats which will rise only 5%.

The Postal Service acknowledges the price increase will impact customers, but expects the total net benefit of the higher prices to be about $2.3 billion, an amount that will reduce the agency's anticipated Fiscal Year 2011 loss to about $4.7 billion.

The Postal Rate Commission has 90 days to respond and could make changes to the proposed rates. Implementation is planned for January 2, 2011.

We will keep you updated on further developments.
With our inhouse mailing services DeFrance can save you money on postage ensuring you recieve the optimum postage rates on first class, bulk mail or non profit mailings.
