Design & Print

Promotion of your event needs to be consistent and on brand. The Design & Print studio will work with you to produce the following items:

• Invitation cards
• Flyers/posters
• Directional signage (to fit into A1 and A2 A frames)
• Brochures
• Pop up banners
• Academic posters
• Conference packs and materials
• Promotional items such as pens, memory sticks etc

Contact Design & Print on dps@reading.ac.uk or 0118 378 8085 to discuss your requirements. For more information and examples of print work visit the Design & Print website.

Ensure to give enough time for both the designing and printing of items, the Design Studio will be able to advise on this.
