I design print materials for Kyiv businesses — from business cards and corporate folders for Pechersk offices to restaurant menus on Podil and outdoor advertising on Khreshchatyk. Every layout is prepared with pre-press, CMYK, Pantone and the specific print house's ICC profile in mind.

The price depends on scope and complexity. The basic package covers individual items: a business card, a letterhead, an A5 flyer, a simple sticker. The standard package is a system of 4–6 items (business card, letterhead, envelope, branded folder, brochure, email header) in a unified style. The premium package is a full print system for a Kyiv brand: business card, folder, 16+ page catalogue, packaging, label, exhibition collateral, posters/billboards.
Exact figures are in the "Pricing" block above. Prices don't change based on whether you're on Pechersk, Obolon or in Irpin — you get the same rate as my Lviv, Odesa or international clients. If print collateral is bundled with branding or logo design, the combined package costs less than the sum of individual services.
Yes, I meet Kyiv clients in person. Convenient locations are cafés on Pechersk, the Unit.City coworking on Podil, or your own office if that's easier. The first meeting is a 60–90 minute brief session, where we discuss positioning, audience, competitors and the specific items you need printed.
Subsequent work moves online via Figma + Zoom + messenger — that's more effective than weekly trips through Kyiv traffic. If the project is large (a full branding system with print collateral), we can run the final presentation in person at your office or at Kyiv Tech Hub coworking.
I'm intentionally not tied to a single print house, because that limits the client. I prepare files so you can print them at any of the leading Kyiv production partners: Avanpost, Triada-Druk, Huss, Vivat-Print, Bizon, KSDrukarnia, or any of the small-run digital print shops on Podil and Pechersk.
Each layout ships with a technical specification: format, bleed, ICC profile, paper type, weight, lamination, die-cut, post-press finishing. That lets the print house manager quote the run accurately and avoids them "improvising" anything. If you haven't picked a printer yet, I recommend 2–3 partners matched to your budget and run length.
Pre-press is the preparation of a layout for printing — everything between "the designer is done drawing" and "the file goes to plate". It includes:
Without proper pre-press, even the best design will print "off" — colours shift, text gets clipped, fine lines vanish.
The full spectrum of print collateral that Kyiv businesses use:
If you're launching a Kyiv location, I recommend doing the print system together with branding from the start to avoid a "patchwork" look.
Pantone (PMS, spot colours) are dedicated inks the print house mixes to your specific shade. They are critical when:
I prepare the layout in CMYK + Pantone on separate channels, send a file with a colour preview, and note the exact Pantone reference in the spec (e.g. PMS 286 C for blue). This lets a Kyiv print house reproduce the colour with a precision unreachable in plain CMYK.
It depends on scope:
Print production at the Kyiv print house is a separate timeline, usually 5–10 working days depending on run length and method (offset/digital). If you're opening a Podil or Pechersk location by a specific date, we discuss an expedited format that compresses timelines roughly by half.
Yes. My clients include Kyiv manufacturers in coffee, tea, confectionery, cosmetics and household goods categories. I design:
Packaging is the most demanding kind of print: you have to factor in fold lines, die-cuts, barcodes, legal elements (ingredients, dates, manufacturer, "Made in Ukraine" marking). I prepare all of this together with the print house technologist so the packaging not only looks good but works correctly on the production line.
Khreshchatyk and central Kyiv are a demanding environment: high pedestrian and traffic audiences, city restrictions on signage format and design, the historical context of the façades. I work on outdoor at three levels:
I also help with the legal side: preparing the layout for approval with the district urban-planning department and the regional administration. In Kyiv this is mandatory for most outdoor advertising structures.
Yes — that's part of the designer's job, not "a question for the print house manager". I help you choose:
It's often the post-press finishing that turns an "ordinary business card" into a premium impression. For Kyiv premium-segment clients (Pechersk, Khreshchatyk boutiques, jewellery salons) this is especially important — competition there is not on price but on perceived quality.
Yes — if you already have a logo and brand colours, we can produce individual print items. This is the most popular format for established Kyiv companies that just need to refresh business cards, design a new folder or print a new catalogue.
But if you DON'T have a systematised visual identity, I recommend starting with branding or at least a logo with a brand-guide. Otherwise, every item (card, letterhead, folder) will look slightly different — and that disorients customers. In greater Kyiv, where your potential customer sees dozens of brands a day, that "scattering" blends into the background and isn't remembered.
Over 15 years working with Kyiv clients, I see the same recurring mistakes that cost money and time:
I help avoid all of these issues at the brief stage.

Kyiv is a market where your prospect literally encounters hundreds of brands in a single day: from metro advertising on the blue line to a café menu on Khreshchatyk, from a branded folder on a meeting-room table at BC Gulliver to a bottle label at Silpo. To keep your print collateral from "dissolving into the background" in such a dense environment, it has to do two things at once: communicate your positioning clearly and be physically well produced. Without one of those two, the investment doesn't pay back.
I'm Alex Filiuk, Senior UI/UX and graphic designer with 15+ years of experience. My portfolio includes 200+ print-ready layouts — from business cards for Kyiv law firms to manufacturer catalogues and Podil signage. This page brings together everything a Kyiv business owner or marketing lead should know before commissioning print design: what the process looks like, how much it costs, how to avoid the typical technical mistakes, and how to choose between large Kyiv print houses and small-run digital shops.
You'd think that with Telegram channels, Instagram newsletters and email campaigns, physical print would have died off. The opposite is happening in Kyiv: the more digital noise there is, the more a high-quality printed touchpoint stands out. A few reasons:
If your brand has both digital and offline presence, I recommend doing print collateral together with UI/UX website design and branding. Otherwise, you end up with a "scatter" — one brand on the website, slightly different in the café menu, and a third one altogether on the billboard.
Over 15 years of practice in Kyiv I've developed a clear understanding of what city businesses need — and the mistakes they typically make. I work across all the main categories:
Kyiv manufacturers in coffee, tea, confectionery, cosmetics, household goods and craft alcohol categories are part of my regular practice. I design:
If you have a large campaign with several formats at once, I recommend running it together with ad creatives for social and Google Ads, so marketing works in sync online and offline.
The most common Kyiv-client mistake is choosing a designer purely for a "pretty portfolio" without asking about file preparation. A beautiful layout sent to print without proper pre-press will print not the way it looks on screen:
I prepare every layout with full pre-press: the right ICC profile for the specific print house, separate Pantone channels, overprint, safe zones, export to PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4. Each file ships with a technical specification covering all parameters (format, paper type, weight, lamination, die-cut, post-press) — this removes any need for the print house to "guess" and reduces the risk of waste to a minimum.
Approximate ranges (exact figures are in the "Pricing" block above):
If you order print collateral together with branding, logo design, web development or e-commerce, the combined package is cheaper than the sum of individual services. It's the healthy approach: one context, one logic, aligned timelines.
Kyiv has a strong print market with options for every budget and run length:
I don't have a "preferred" partner — I recommend the option that best fits your specific project. This is fundamentally different from in-house designers at large print houses: they're forced to push their own machine even when it isn't optimal.
Over 15 years I've collected a "top of mistakes" Kyiv clients make when ordering print:
My portfolio includes 130+ projects, with many print pieces among them: business cards, branded folders, catalogues, packaging, menus, outdoor advertising. I've worked with Kyiv companies, with clients from Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, and also from the USA and Europe. This lets me see how local Kyiv businesses compete with international brands — and how high-quality print specifically adds perceived value.
If you want concrete examples — go to the "Projects" section or get in touch via the contact form. I'll pick 5–10 most relevant cases for your niche: HoReCa, manufacturing, B2B services, retail, healthcare — each has its own approach.
Print is part of an ecosystem. If you're planning a serious launch, a rebrand or expansion to new Kyiv locations, a complex approach is worth considering:
I work not only with Kyiv clients. If your business has offices or production in several cities, we'll build a print system that scales. Among other locations I actively work with:
The full list of locations is on the "Service Areas" page.
If you have a specific request — fill in the contact form or write to email/Telegram (contacts in the website footer). The first consultation is free, up to 60 minutes. We'll discuss your business, the goals of your print, an approximate budget, run length and timeline. After that I'll send a detailed proposal with a fixed price — no surprises and no hidden fees.
I'm ready to design print collateral for your business in Kyiv that prints without surprises, looks premium and works for the brand for years. Not just "some business cards", but a working marketing tool.
