Shape
Start with the purpose.
What should the piece say, do and feel like? We explore the audience, the idea and the way it will be used.
Specialist print partnership
Our partnership with Aspect Press brings print design, artwork, production and finishing together. You can access the services of both teams through Hatch or Aspect, from a new design to a finished piece.
Hatch and Aspect remain independent businesses. We agree the creative, production and client responsibilities around each brief, so you know who is doing what.




The partnership
Bring us a design brief, approved artwork or a production requirement. We can connect the creative and practical stages around what you need to make.
Design and artwork
We design reports, brochures, publications and campaign materials, or prepare artwork from an existing design. We can advise on format and materials early, then check the files and proofs against the agreed specification.
Production and fulfilment
We offer printing and specialist finishing through the partnership, including brochures, booklets, stationery and promotional materials. We can also arrange mailing and fulfilment, with quantities, schedules and delivery requirements agreed around the job.
From concept to creation

Material matters
The weight of the stock. The way a page turns. A surface that catches the light.
Paper, binding and finishing are part of the design. We bring those choices into the conversation early, so the finished piece feels as considered as it looks.
Talk through the possibilities ↗Coated, uncoated, paper and board. Start with how the piece needs to feel and perform.
Folds, formats and binding. Think about how people will hold it, open it and use it.
Foil, emboss, deboss or a carefully chosen laminate. Give the detail a purpose.
RESPONSIBLE PRINT
Aspect Press combines responsible sourcing, certified materials and considered production choices to deliver high-quality print with a lighter environmental impact.
As a member of an FSC®-certified scheme, Aspect Press sources paper and board used in its products from responsibly managed forests.
Before we start
That is the aim of our developing collaboration. A print brief can benefit from creative support, and a design brief can benefit from specialist production knowledge. We agree who is involved and how the client relationship will work before starting.
An idea or a rough requirement is enough. If you have them, share the format, quantity, intended use, timing and delivery locations. We can work through the specification together.
From an idea to something real.
Bring the idea. Let’s explore the possibilities.
