Brand synergy: Telvent's USB Flash Drives & silk-screen printed DVD-R distribution media.

One of the outstanding perks we at ISODISC enjoy is the privilege of working with some of the best graphic designers and media savvy marketeers in the business. Each week sees dozens of electronic media projects pass through our facility showcasing creative energy that runs from ‘the stunning to the sublime’– most projects include custom printed sleeves coordinated with the artwork of the disc. Recent trends have heralded a surge in the number of projects that include USB Flash drives tied-in to silkscreened CDs/DVDs to maximize brand synergy across multiple distribution media platforms.

One such project is pictured above: produced by the creative minds at Telvent who have developed a cohesive package of marketing collateral to showcase their Smart Grid product. The synergy of these pieces is further enhanced at their website, which builds on the same look and feel, as well as color, images and energy. Smart marketers know that “nothing succeeds like success”; with a good design team and collateral that reinforces brand synergy, success is much easier to reach. As you plan new CD/DVD/USB Flash projects let ISODISC help build your brand synergy and optimize your ROI.

ISODISC/Flagship Adventures DVD - See inset of disc inserted in folder slot.

ISODISC was recently tapped to provide discs to Sir Speedy of (98 North Washington Street) Boston, MA for a special marketing packet that had been developed for Flagship Adventures, an adrenaline pumping RIB thrill purveyor. The project included printed leaflets and a DVD in a nautically themed pocket folder. Sir Speedy’s client was thrilled with the results and, judging solely from the spot-on color fidelity between the DVD and the folder and the tight packaging integration with the disc, its easy to see why. Flagship’s DVD practically disappears into the pocket folder – take a look! Project Manager Rafe Hershfield, expressed it succinctly saying, “The DVD’s look great, thank you! This is the total package.” Its a fine example of how finely tuned ISODISC’s Chromatix Color Process is for projects requiring accurate color. And, its worth pointing out, it was accomplished without a client provided print sample to match for DVD silkscreen-press setup and also serves as reference to the printing and finishing capability of Rafe and the crew at Sir Speedy, Boston. A job well done guys. Now, how about an adrenaline pumping thrill ride in one of those high-speed inflatables?

I want to thank you very much for your help in getting my order done and it being exactly what I wanted.  I can very strongly recommend your company to my fellow photog friends, and that’s not usually the case with printers.  The disks look great and I hope to put in an order for 500 more cd’s in the next couple of months. I was so excited to see the perfect quality that I had to take a picture.
