Business cards, other office products available with new letterhead, logos


By Ron Podell

 

Business cards, envelopes, letterhead and note pads with Eastern Michigan University's new letterhead font style and the "Education First" brand logo are now available for campus departments to order.

"The design of our new business cards and letterhead uses our new typefaces and is consistent with our new brand and identity system," said Theodore Coutilish, associate vice president for marketing and communications. "We ask employees not to throw away their current business cards and letterhead and, instead, replenish them after they have been exhausted."

NEW LOOK: The new Eastern Michigan University
business cards include a new letterhead font style and
the "Education First" brand logo.

Diggy Pod, a company out of Saline, is the vendor that is printing EMU's paper business supplies.

Currently, departments can order these business office supplies by requisition and submit to Purchasing. In time, a Web site will be created in which departments will be able to order such supplies through P-card purchases, said William Pollard, manager, print services.

"We're really excited to have the new style and the online ordering system. It's a whole new look for the business card. They (customers) will get an instantaneous PDF proof once they input their information," Pollard said.

A prime advantage of seeing a mock-up of a business card, envelope or other business supply is there is an opportunity to make corrections online, in real time, before the materials are actually printed. Pollard said.

Once the Web site is launched, campus departments will use P-cards to purchase these supplies and requisitions will be a process of the past, he said. Price lists will be online and be based on quantity.

"Some folks go through a lot of business cards. We encourage them to order more at one time. It's less expensive that way," Pollard said.

Like Coutilish, Pollard encourages EMU employees to use up existing business supplies before ordering new supplies with the new style and logo.
