There is not much sweeter than a country wedding! The creative team had so much fun helping Kristen Jackson, niece of owners Sheila and Steven Ruff, plan her perfect country wedding! The blue Mason jar logo was where it all began and the entire wedding was themed around it! A logo is not just for your business it can also be used to brand any special event. The bride-to-be also wanted to incorporate burlap and lace to her theme. The theme was carried out from the Save-the-Dates, to the Bridal Shower, the Wedding Invitation Stationary and even the favors. Having your theme carried out across the board can make even the simplest wedding seem high end without spending a ton of money.

Don’t waste your money on the typical wedding favors that will just get thrown away. For the Clark wedding we found custom printed double sided Mason jar glasses. They were a huge hit with the guest and if you have a bunch left over after the wedding you can use them at home! We also jazzed up the candy bar with a custom self-inking stamp used to customize the candy bags. Self-inking stamps come in many shapes, sizes, ink colors and almost any design can be made into a stamp!

To help the guest find the remote location we made direction signs that are weather proof. These signs could be made for any event! We also made a sign for one of the boys to carry down the aisle for that added a special touch as the bride walked down the aisle! Remember all of our designs are custom so we will design your sign just for your special event!

Want to improve your quality of life? Everyone does. So this month the Small Business Spotlight is on Culligan Water because they have some terrific ways to put quality into your life. And, they’re located right here in Panama City. At Culligan Water, they’re experts at making you feel better and making your home more enjoyable. And as a Panama City business, they’ve been doing so for over 55 years.

How do they do it?  Through their high-end, cost-effective treatment systems that convert your hard water problems into luxurious, clean, soft water solutions.

Feeling Better All Over

One way to be kind to yourself is through soft water, because soft water is kind to your skin and hair. And when you feel skin deep comfortable, you’ve taken a step forward toward enjoying life.

Less Work; More Fun

Another benefit of soft water is less household toil because soft water keeps things clean. Minerals such as calcium and iron make cleaning bathrooms a lot of work. Soft water solves the problem and really reduces the toil of bathroom maintenance. In addition, the folks at Culligan can get any sulfur out of your water. Sulfur-free water doesn’t smell and tastes better. Finally, soft water leaves your clothes brighter and cleaner.

Let’s Raise a Glass to Our Culligan Partner

Finally, there’s nothing better than a cool, clean glass of water, especially during that warm Florida summer. And Culligan has the answer. Their bottled water, delivered to your business or home, is the final touch for improving your quality of life. We have enjoyed drinking their refreshing water for many years.

The African Christian Training Institute

The Institute is a word and deed ministry serving Uganda and other areas of Africa. And Culligan Water has been a supportive international partner. As a member of our community, they’ve been doing something good and giving something back.  At Creative Printing we were honored to help them design the brochure and banner for the African Christian Training Institute.

Creative Printing and Culligan – A Productive Partnership

Emerald Coast Culligan has been doing business with Creative Printing for over 15 years. We’ve been pleased to meet their printing needs including business cards, handbooks, flyers, brochures, certificates, labels, signs, and much more.. They are a wonderful member of our Panama City community. They make the lives of the people they serve more enjoyable.

So let’s raise a refreshing glass of their good, clean water in thanks to Culligan Water. We invite you to contact them at 315 East 15th Street or give them a call at: (850) 792-2573. Here’s wishing them continued success because they are so important to our Panama City friends and neighbors.

Printed posters are like the rainbow. The possibilities – and the colors – are unlimited. Everyone loves posters, particularly if they’re personalized. Posters are used for marketing, movies, and meetings. They find their way into children’s rooms, Dad’s den, or a teen’s strictly off-limits bedroom. Framed posters are present where writers speak, musicians play, and artists display their wares.

 
Personalized posters are created from treasured photographs. Remember that photo of your happy child at Disney World with Cinderella, Mickey, or Pluto? What a smile! How about that favorite fishing trip with those four great friends? Look at the size of that whopper! Maybe that picture you “photo-shopped” of your daughter and Johnny Depp would be a big surprise. And then, there are those photos of that enchanting place you visited on your last vacation.

While we’re exploring poster possibilities, let’s not forget the family pet or a collage of pet pictures. And posters centered around family history, our revered war veteran, or that nerve-wracking high school football win of 1982, make memories come to life in a big poster way. Maybe the poster is a cherished quote with an attractive design, like that warm invitation from Grandma each time you entered her kitchen. It’s easy to get great ideas. Just look over those family photos.  We promise that your mind will be catalyzed with creativity!

So if you’re looking for a personalized, quick-turn-around, last-minute gift, we invite you to contact us at Creative Printing. We can customize your poster for that special person, place or promotion. Whether framed or tacked on the wall, a poster is a unique way to say: “I took the time to create something special, just for you.” And that’s why we’re Creative Printing.

Logo

Graphic Design is everywhere! We see it on street signs, billboards, television, online, in restaurant menus, business cards, books, and many other places. Graphic design combines text and images in a creative manner in order to reach a particular audience visually. They make things “look pretty” in order to grab the target audiences’ attention.

A logo is not just something that is visually appealing it is creating a brand and communicating what a company is/does without much needed explanation. The first stages do not involve much designing at all, but more so research.
