StockLayouts Introduces Graphic Design Templates for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher Users in Small- to Medium-Sized Businesses

Posted on: Thursday, 2 December 2004, 09:00 CST

BEAVERTON, Ore., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- StockLayouts has announced the release of a desktop-printer-friendly version of its graphic design template library which will make it easier for businesses to create high-impact marketing materials on their office printers. Available in Microsoft(R) Word, versions 2000 and later, and Microsoft(R) Publisher, versions 2002 and later, these professionally designed layouts allow businesses to produce brochures, flyers, newsletters, postcards, menus, posters, and stationery, quickly and affordably. The templates are available online at http://www.stocklayouts.com/, priced from $19 to $39. Value-bundled online CD collections are priced from $99 to $149.

"In today's increasingly competitive markets, companies are looking for affordable ways to produce marketing materials to help them stand out from the crowd," said Tami Cooper, President of StockLayouts. "Our graphic design templates give businesses access to agency-quality design, and without the expense of hiring a designer."

StockLayouts' graphic design templates for desktop printing are creatively designed and meticulously executed for specific business types. The ready-to-print templates include complete page layouts that are fully editable, with pleasing color palettes, copy content, high quality original graphic elements, and carefully selected stock photos and artwork.

StockLayouts' new desktop printer templates provide a jump-start to businesses creating marketing materials using Microsoft Office programs. "More and more businesses are producing some or all of their own marketing materials in-house, using programs they're already familiar with, including Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher," said Katie Jordan, Senior Product Manager for Microsoft Publisher. "Giving these users a wide range of high quality, business-specific, ready-to-print templates, such as the StockLayouts design library, saves them time and gives them the professional results they want."

Recent advances in desktop printer technology enable users to produce impactful documents faster, more easily and with less cost than ever before. "With the latest color printing technologies now at drastically lower prices, a typical small business can reduce outsourced printing costs up to 50% by printing in-house on HP printers," said Shane Vaughan, SMB Alliances Manager, HP. "Also, with StockLayouts pre-designed templates for desktop printing, users can more easily produce impressive, full-color documents on our printers, while saving costly page layout production time."

Customers have 24-hour, immediate access to the StockLayouts design library at http://www.stocklayouts.com/, where they can search, purchase and download a template in a matter of minutes. Users are able to edit the layout by entering their text, changing colors and fonts, exchanging or resizing photos and graphic elements, and adding their logo. "We've taken the often time-consuming and frustrating process of graphic design and made it faster and simpler for the business publisher," said Tami Cooper.

For designers and marketing professionals looking to create high resolution, exceptional-quality marketing materials for the commercial press, StockLayouts continues to grow its library of creative designs that contain high-resolution images and graphics and are press-ready. Priced for individual download from $39 to $149, and on CDs from $129 to $519, these templates can be purchased and downloaded at http://www.stocklayouts.com/ .
