Star Print Solutions is a creative paper agency with an edge, specialising in three-dimensional promotions using paper engineering, or ‘pop ups’.
Star Print Solutions’ paper engineering delivers three-dimensional, hands-on, memorable and accountable direct marketing and print collateral that cuts through the clutter and stays with your recipient.
Our clients include corporate marketers, advertising agencies, events designers, charities, PR agencies, printers, design studios, museums and book publishers. In collaboration with them, we design and produce stand-out (and up) paper promotions that will stay with an audience long after other direct marketing has been forgotten.
It all starts with a phone call to us whether it is a graphic design concept, paper engineering brief or simply a print management campaign. Our experienced staff will assist you to achieve your objectives with your desired timelines. Usually at this stage not everyone knows what their budgets are or the costs of products that’s why they engage with us. The process is always the same, brief – discovery, design, develop and deploy.
Paper engineering can be very subjective when quoting a complete job. Our hourly rate ranges from $90-$140 per hour. This rate is based on the experience of your paper engineer. Most jobs are based on an estimate of the time expected multiplied by your engineering hourly rate, plus the number of initial concepts required. All quotes are for 3 revisions. Any additional revisions are on-charged accordingly.
A graphic designer needs to engage with paper engineer if he/she is asked to produce an innovative pop box DM piece with pull out tabs. Or it could be an animated greeting cards or a once off artistic paper sculpture.
Paper Engineering is a field of engineering that allows a technician to incorporate mathematics and specialise folding techniques to transform a blank piece of paper or cardboard into a movable pop-up story book.
