Print Design Services in Minneapolis
Smart Set offers print design services in Minneapolis for clients who want their ideas translated into clear, effective, and print-ready materials. Our in-house design team works closely with production, which means your project is designed with the final printed piece in mind from the very beginning.
Design by Artists Who Understand Print
Design at Smart Set is not an add-on. It is a core part of how we work. Our design team is made up of practicing artists and designers with formal training and decades of combined experience. Because they work alongside our print techs every day, they understand how design choices translate onto paper, from typography and color to paper selection and finishing. That means fewer surprises, fewer revisions, and better results.
What We Design
Our team can design materials for virtually any print project, including:
- Business identity systems including business cards, letterhead, and stationery
- Marketing materials and presentations
- Annual reports and publications
- Posters, signage, and large-format pieces
- Custom forms, folders, and mailers
- Wedding and personal projects
If it can be printed, we can help design it.
A Collaborative Process
Some clients come to us with a clear vision. Others arrive with a rough idea, a logo, or a collection of notes. Both are welcome. We take a collaborative approach to custom print design, helping you refine your ideas, make informed decisions, and choose formats that fit your goals and budget. Because design and production happen under one roof, communication stays clear and timelines stay realistic
Designed for the Real World
Our designers do not just focus on how something looks on a screen. They design with real-world use in mind.
- readability and hierarchy
- color accuracy and consistency
- paper choice and finish
- durability and handling
Every design is prepared as a production-ready file, reviewed carefully before printing begins.
