The video tutorial on how to design a paper bag is very entertaining and had us excited. Although the time frame in the video is quite sporty, you learn a lot about the product. The result is a tastefully designed bag that is really something to behold. Collaboration and result are very good, as always.
In 2019, we continued our long-standing cooperation, which dates back to 2013, with our partner viaprinto.de. "We are print. We are different." is how viaprinto confidently describes itself and has made a strong name for itself as an online print shop for companies and corporate customers through its promise of quality. Since the turn of the millennium, the modern print shop has been providing refined and consistently high-quality print products with creativity and passion. With around 100 employees, the Münster-based company raises the level of printing and also their online presence way up in order to produce individual, convenient and absolutely thrilling results!
We have been working with viaprinto.de since as early as 2013, creating video tutorials, among other things, that promise great benefits on both sides as part of corporate publishing and content marketing. Our common goal is to provide creative users, interested users and potential buyers with value-added explanatory videos that make the preparation, design and ordering process easier. We set no limits when it comes to the choice of print media, and in principle we show exactly the workflow that we also follow in our daily agency business. Our viewers like it! As a result, we produced entertaining and insightful video tutorials, some of which include an exclusive live unboxing of the designed print products in front of the camera.
The value-added short tutorials span a wide range from Advent calendars in an unusual star format, free formats outside the DIN norm for signs and brochures, and the creation of metal table calendars. Curious? Then get started now with Adobe InDesign and the print configurator from viaprinto:
Design and print Advent calendars in star format, including unboxing.
In this tutorial, we'll work together in Adobe InDesign to create an Advent calendar in the unusual format of a star. The best part: We will print it and unbox it later. At the same time, we will clarify open questions, from where to get the template in the first place, over helpful design hints in InDesign to the later ordering process with a 3D preview. The highlight is, of course, the subsequent printing, making this tutorial exceedingly practical assistance.
This is the accompanying video tutorial:
Designing an Advent Calendar House in InDesign
We stay thematically with Advent and explain how to create a special format in InDesign - which makes a very good company gift in the pre-Christmas season for employees, partners or customers.
Designing a Christmas card in InDesign
If you want to send the right Christmas card, you can also use an individual design. Our designer Stefan Riedl shows you how:
Printing instructions: Now you can also choose free formats for brochures.
Let's leave the norm behind, because it doesn't always have to be the standard format that your customer wants. If you want to step out of line, you have the option of even being able to include this extravagance in your next brochure printing. The video tutorial shows how a completely individual free format can be commissioned from the viaprinto.de print shop to create unusual proportions. A brochure can thus be adapted to the customer's wishes as desired.
Indesign tutorial: design desk calendar, create PDF for printing and unboxing
More solid than paper and an eye-catcher on the desk? I'd love to! In this tutorial, I present a high-quality metal desk calendar designed in InDesign. As usual, we'll cover where to get the right template for printing, what to do once you're in Adobe InDesign, and how to export data to a reproducible PDF later. As a highlight, the desk calendar was actually ordered and delivered, so in the final unboxing, the value and the final print result are closely scrutinized. A great idea for customers who want to book a graphically appealing calendar with you.

Say goodbye to fixed formats: this is how you get signs in your desired size
The space next to the door was too small for a sign with the customer's logo? Or a sign is to be created on behalf of a customer, but the house facade on which the showpiece is to hang later has a rather idiosyncratic dimension? - Every designer knows something like that. Now you can decide for yourself what size your sign, your tarpaulin or your fabric banner should have. Just the way you need it. In this video, you'll learn how to set your own individual measurements for your next sign print at viaprinto.de.
Design and export creative goodie bags in Adobe InDesign
Ever wondered how to create a three-dimensional packaging design? In this video tutorial, I show you how to create a beautifully designed paper goodie bag in Adobe InDesign. We'll use the template from the online print shop https://www.viaprinto.de/ as our starting point. Using the template, we'll create a tasteful design for a Chocolaterie & Confiserie, which is handy for use as a goodie bag at trade shows. After that, we take care of the printable export of the PDF and upload our print product to a 3D showroom where we can view it from all sides.
This is the accompanying video tutorial:
Creating Partial Finishes in InDesign
With partial finishing using hot foil in gold or silver, partial UV varnish or partial relief varnish, printed materials stand out even more and are given a valuable touch.
But how is such a document actually created ready for printing? We also explain in our video tutorial for viaprinto:
Corporate Publishing for Reach via YouTube and Co.
What results in reach plus reach? That's right, even more reach! And that's why we're delighted to have such a professional partner at our side, who not only enjoys a good reputation but also sweeps the floor with us at an identical frequency. The viral effect of our joint collaboration leaves a lasting impression. Top hits can easily reach over 100,000 hits on YouTube.
