A studio built around the press

Halftone started in 2015 as a two-person prepress bureau and grew into a compact full-cycle studio: design, proofing, offset and digital print, finishing and fulfilment — all under one roof in Warsaw.

Who we are

We are eleven people: designers, prepress specialists, press operators and one very organised logistics coordinator. Our clients are marketing teams, event agencies, independent cafes, bookshops, SaaS startups — anyone who needs physical things that represent them well.

Being small is a choice. It keeps decisions fast, quotes honest and quality the responsibility of people whose names you actually know.

How a job usually goes

  1. Brief. Format, quantity, paper preference, deadline, budget. A photo of a similar item works fine as a starting point.
  2. Estimate. A fixed quote within one working day, options included — we usually suggest two paper or finish variants at different price points.
  3. Design or preflight. Our design or yours; if yours, we check bleed, safety margins, fonts, overprint and ICC profile and fix small issues free.
  4. Proof. Calibrated PDF proof as standard, hard proof or press check for colour-critical jobs.
  5. Print & finish. Agreed schedule, photos of the run on request.
  6. Delivery. Collection at the studio or courier across the EU, packed to survive couriers.

Things we believe

  • Short runs deserve the same care as big ones.
  • A deadline in the quote is a promise, not an aspiration.
  • Paper choice is design; we keep a library of 200+ samples you can touch.
  • Leftover stock and repeat jobs should be one email, not a new project.
