Something They Can Hold
A well-made piece of print stays on the desk long after an ad has been scrolled past.
Put Your Brand Where People Actually Look
Trusted More Than a Banner
Readers consistently rate printed material as more credible than the advertising they meet online.
Reaches Your Street
Letterbox drops, signage and outdoor put you in front of the neighbourhood you actually trade in.
Lifts Everything Else
Print alongside a digital campaign gives people a second, physical reason to remember the name.

What is Print Marketing?
Print marketing is everything your customer can pick up, walk past or open — flyers and brochures, posters and signage, direct mail, billboards and vehicle graphics. It is the oldest part of what we do and still one of the most effective, because a printed piece occupies real space in someone’s day. Fivestar handles it end to end: the design, the stock and finish, the print run and the delivery. Having design and press under one roof means the colour that leaves the studio is the colour that comes off the machine, and a job that needs to be on the counter by Friday actually is.
Press Skills
Press Release
A press release only works if it reads like news rather than an advertisement. We help you find the angle a newsroom will care about, write it to the length and structure editors expect, and lay out the supporting material — imagery, specifications, quotes — so a journalist can run the story with as little friction as possible.

Bus and Billboard
Large-format work is read in about three seconds from a moving vehicle, so it lives or dies on one idea and one legible line. We design for the viewing distance and the site, supply artwork to each media owner’s exact specification, and manage the print so the colour holds across every panel in the campaign.

Digital Printing and Direct Mail
Short runs, quick turnarounds and mail that is personalised down to the individual address. Digital printing makes it viable to produce fifty of something rather than five thousand, which is what makes targeted mail worth doing. We handle artwork, data preparation, print, finishing and lodgement with the post.

Print That Earns Its Place in the Room
Print is not the cheap option and it is not meant to be. It is the part of your marketing that someone keeps, pins up, hands to a colleague or trips over on the way into the shop. That only happens when the idea is right and the production is right, which is why we would rather talk about the job before we quote it: what it has to do, who is meant to pick it up, and where it will end up. Fivestar has been printing in Auckland since 2009 — bring us the brief and we will tell you honestly what will work.
