Print Design That Stands Out in a Digital World

At Design the Planet, we believe high‑impact print design is alive, thriving, and delivering some of the best ROI in modern advertising. From Lafayette and Lake Charles to Houma, Kenner, and Alexandria, Louisiana businesses are rediscovering the power of tactile, custom pieces that feel as good as they look.

Why Print Still Matters

Your audience is bombarded by endless emails and social graphics every day. A beautifully designed brochure or postcard, printed on premium paper, offers a physical experience that digital media can’t replicate. People pause, feel the texture, and engage longer with well‑executed print. In fact, a recent study showed that 70% of consumers say printed materials make them feel more connected to a brand—that’s serious quality time with your message.

More Than Just Pretty Graphics

Print isn’t a one‑and‑done exercise. Our designers focus on:

  • Custom concepts aligned with your branding goals.
  • Innovative layouts that guide readers smoothly.
  • Quality typography for clarity and elegance.
  • Paper sourcing: matte, gloss, textured linen, recycled stock, or even that luxe cotton paper that screams bespoke.

Let’s design the future together.

Visit our web design pages to see how online and print graphics can work together.

We’re picky about paper. The right weight and texture make your print collateral feel premium, whether it’s a brochure or a business card. Our relationships with local and national printing partners mean we can secure specialty finishes like spot UV, foil stamping, and letterpress without blowing your budget.

A Word on Postcards

A custom postcard, mailed at the perfect moment, can do wonders. It’s tactile, fun, and often ends up on someone’s fridge—a tiny billboard in the kitchen. Combine great graphics with a witty line (“Lagniappe inside!”) and you’ve got a print piece that drives conversions. You just can’t get this kind of advertising with digital.

Our Proven Process

Discovery 

We learn your business goals and target market.

02

Concept & Copy
