Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
The full spectrum: business cards, letterheads, envelopes, postcards, flyers, brochures (folded, accordion, EuroFold), booklets, catalogs, magazines, books, menus, packaging, labels, stickers, posters, banners, exhibition materials, annual reports. Everything in vector with proper preflight. For non-standard formats I help design the structure before printing, so you do not pay twice.
Standard is PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 depending on the printer's requirements. CMYK with the correct ICC profile (usually ISO Coated v2 for coated, PSO Uncoated for uncoated paper), all fonts embedded or outlined, 3-5 mm bleeds, trim marks, registration marks. Before sending I run preflight in Acrobat Pro and InDesign. Files come together with INDD/AI sources, linked images, and fonts.
Yes. I know the main printers in Chernivtsi and Lviv I work with regularly. I can recommend a supplier for your budget and run: small runs (50-500) — digital, medium (500-5000) — offset, packaging — a specialized printer with finishing. At the run stage I can attend press check to verify colors and quality on the first sheet.
Pantone is a precise color system where each color has a number and a specific ink recipe. CMYK gives approximate reproduction, Pantone gives a guaranteed match. You need Pantone when color is part of the brand (logo on packaging, branded letterhead) and must look identical across media, printers, and papers. One Pantone adds cost but gives control. In brandbooks I always specify CMYK, RGB, HEX, and Pantone.
Photos must be CMYK with the correct ICC profile (not sRGB), 300 DPI at final size, with no excess bleed margin. Before placing in the layout I color-correct in Photoshop specifically for CMYK — otherwise bright RGB photos turn dull in print. If a photo is low resolution, you must reshoot or replace it, since upscaling produces blurry artifacts. I always check this during file review.
It depends on the type. A simple jar label is less work than a packaging box with dieline and finishing (foil stamping, embossing, lamination, varnish). A winery label with the full set (front, back, neck, capsule) is its own project. On a call we discuss product type, run, printer, and finishing — after that I can name the exact cost. I do not publish ready price lists because every project is different.
Yes. Catalogs, magazines, books — built in InDesign with master pages, paragraph and character styles, GREP styles for typography, automatic table of contents and pagination. This is not just about looks — it is function: when a 200-page catalog needs an update a year later, I change one style and the whole publication updates in five minutes, instead of fixing each page by hand. I deliver the INDD with all dependencies so you can continue with me or any other designer.
Business cards and small items — 3-5 days design plus print. An 8-16 page brochure — 1-2 weeks. A 40-80 page catalog — 3-5 weeks. Packaging with dieline — 2-3 weeks design plus technical prep. Books — 4+ weeks depending on length. Print times are separate: digital 1-3 days, offset 5-10 days, packaging with finishing 2-4 weeks. I always build in buffer for revisions and preflight.
A historic-center tourism guide combines cartography, photography, copy, and navigation. I start with route logic: object order, how to read the map, where the UNESCO Residence, Opera and Ballet Theatre, Turkish Square, Town Hall, and Kobylianska Street are. The design must withstand rain (lamination or thin plastic), be comfortable in hand (A5 or EuroFold format), and read in two languages. I work with hotels, apartments, and tour offices.
Bukovyna wineries have specifics: small runs, hand labeling, export to Poland and Romania. The label must withstand chilling (water-resistant paper or synthetic), carry correct legal copy (alcohol content, volume, producer, region), and tell a story. I work with Fedrigoni, Arjowiggins, and Antalis papers for premium and local papers for higher runs. The brand foundation is set at /locations/chernivtsi/branding, then print follows.
Yes — menus are their own discipline. A cafe on Kobylianska or Universytetska needs a menu that lasts 6-12 months in service: lamination, hardcover or leather binding, a format that sits well on the table, typography that reads in morning and evening light. Seasonal inserts are produced separately so the whole menu does not need a reprint. I integrate with QR-menus for smartphones — see related advertising at /locations/chernivtsi/ad-creatives.
Send me the brief: what we print, the run, the budget, the deadline. If there is no brief — we draft one on the call. I recommend the printer (Chernivtsi, Lviv, Kyiv, or export), prepare files to its technical specs, run preflight, and can attend press check. A 50% prepayment kicks off, the second part before the files go to press. I work with all districts of Chernivtsi: Shevchenkivskyi, Pershotravnevyi, and the center.

Print Design in Chernivtsi — press-ready by Oleksandr Filiuk
Print design in Chernivtsi: why technical precision matters
Print is a discipline where mistakes do not get forgiven. A logo in RGB instead of CMYK lays down differently on paper. Without bleeds, a finished brochure shows a white border. If a font is not embedded, the printer swaps it for a default and the layout collapses. I am Oleksandr Filiuk, 15+ years in print and 130+ projects, and over that time I have seen every one of those mistakes in other designers' work. In Chernivtsi, where the print tradition goes back to the Austro-Hungarian era, quality demands are particularly strict.
The city of around 265 thousand lives at once as the tourism capital of Bukovyna, a university hub (the Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, the Bukovynian State Medical University), a cafe Europe, and a region of family wineries. Each segment has its own print needs — from a small business-card run for a Kobylianska boutique to a 200-page light industry catalog.
Tourism guides for the historic center of Chernivtsi
Chernivtsi is one of the few Ukrainian cities whose entire historic center is on the UNESCO tentative list, with the Residence of Bukovynian and Dalmatian Metropolitans on the main list since 2011. This generates strong demand for tourism guides: hotels, apartments, and tour offices need handouts for guests. I build a guide as a tool: clear route, readable map, photos of key locations (Turkish Square, Town Hall, Opera and Ballet Theatre, Kobylianska Street), translation in two languages. Paper is water-resistant or laminated, format A5 or EuroFold for pocket convenience.
I use InDesign with a strong master-page system and paragraph and character styles. This makes annual updates fast (new prices, new routes) without rebuilding the whole layout.
Packaging for Bukovyna family wineries
The Carpathian foothills are going through a wine renaissance. Family wineries that existed as garage production a decade ago now reach shelves in specialty stores in Kyiv, Lviv, Poland, and Romania. Packaging is their main communication tool, because in most situations the customer meets the brand on the shelf, without a salesperson, without the winemaker.
I work with the full set: front label, back with legal copy, neck label, capsule, tube or gift box, and the dielines for all of it. Paper — Fedrigoni, Arjowiggins, Antalis for premium, local suppliers for larger runs. Finishing — foil stamping, embossing, selective UV varnish. Preflight and color proof are mandatory before press. The brand foundation is set at branding or /locations/chernivtsi/branding, then print extends it across media.
Menus for historic-center cafes
Cafes on Kobylianska, Soborna, Universytetska, Hetmana Sahaidachnoho — a dense field with high competition. A menu here is not just a list of items. It is part of the venue's atmosphere, an extension of the interior, a silent salesperson. I make menus in formats that sit well on the table (usually A5 with hardcover or A4 with rings for page updates), with typography that reads in morning and evening light, with lamination or leather binding.
I also produce seasonal inserts separately — so the cafe can update a summer menu or special brunches without reprinting the whole core menu. This saves budget and adds flexibility.
Catalogs for Chernivtsi light industry and education
Chernivtsi has a light industry tradition — textiles, leather, footwear, accessories. These businesses need catalogs for wholesale clients and trade fairs (Chernivtsi, Lviv, Kyiv, Poznan, Prague). A 40-80 page catalog with product photography is its own discipline: correct grid, photo style, price table, technical specs, contacts. I build it in InDesign so the client can add new items via my styles without a designer.
Chernivtsi education is another segment. The National University and the Bukovynian State Medical University regularly need conference programs, scientific proceedings, and applicant brochures. Work with academic materials demands particular accuracy in typography and Cyrillic font handling.
How to order print design in Chernivtsi
Send a brief, or we build one on a call. I select the printer for your budget and run, prepare files to its tech specs (PDF/X, CMYK, Pantone, bleeds), run preflight, and can attend the press check. A 50% prepayment starts the work, the second part before files go to press. If your project also spans brand or advertising, see /locations/chernivtsi/branding and /locations/chernivtsi/ad-creatives.
