Corporate Publishing: Video Tutorials for the Professional Printing House viaprinto.de
In 2019, we continued our long-standing cooperation, which dates back to 2013, with our partner viaprinto.de. “We are printing. We are different,” viaprinto confidently describes itself, and through their quality promise, they have made a strong name for themselves as an online printing company for businesses and corporate clients. Since the turn of the millennium, this modern printing house has been ensuring refined and consistently high-quality printed products with creativity and passion. With around 100 employees, the team from Münster elevates the standards of printing and its online presence significantly to deliver individual, comfortable, and absolutely exciting results!
Since 2013, we have been collaborating with viaprinto.de and create, among other things, video tutorials that promise great benefits for both parties within the framework of corporate publishing and content marketing. Our shared goal: to provide creative users, interested practitioners, and potential buyers with valuable explanatory videos that make the elaboration, design, and ordering processes easier. We impose no limits on the choice of printing media, and in principle, we show exactly the workflow that we also follow in our daily agency business. Our viewers like it! As a result, we produced engaging and informative video tutorials, some of which include an exclusive live unboxing of the designed printed products on camera.
The value-added short guides cover a wide range, from Advent calendars in an unusual star format, free formats outside of DIN standards for signs and brochures, to the creation of metal desk calendars. Curious? Then get started now with Adobe InDesign and the print configurator from the professional printing company viaprinto.de:
Design and print an Advent calendar in star format, including unboxing.
In this tutorial, we will create an Advent calendar in Adobe InDesign in the unusual shape of a star. The best part: we will print it and later unpack it. Along the way, we will address open questions, from where to obtain the template, to helpful design tips in InDesign, and finally the ordering process with a 3D preview. The highlight, of course, is the subsequent printing, which makes this tutorial provide extremely practical assistance.

Design an Advent calendar house in InDesign.
We will stay on the theme of Advent and explain how a special format is created in InDesign – which works very well as a company presentation during the pre-Christmas season for employees, partners, or clients.
Create a Christmas card in InDesign.
If the appropriate Christmas card is to be sent, it can also be a custom design. Our designer Stefan Riedl shows how it’s done:
Printing instructions: Now also free formats available for brochures
Let’s leave the norm behind, because it doesn’t always have to be the standard format that your customer wants. Those who want to stand out have the opportunity to consider this extravagance even in their next brochure printing. The video tutorial shows how to order a completely custom free format from the printing company viaprinto.de to create extraordinary proportions. A brochure can thus be tailored to the customer’s wishes in any way.
InDesign Tutorial: Designing a Desk Calendar, Creating a PDF for Printing, and Unboxing
Soldiers as paper and a eye-catcher on the desk? Absolutely! In this guide, I present a high-quality desk calendar made of metal, designed in InDesign. As usual, we clarify the questions of where to find the right template for printing, the process once you’re in Adobe InDesign, and the later data export of a reproducible PDF. As a highlight, the desk calendar was actually ordered and delivered, so in the final unboxing, the quality and the final printing result are examined closely. A great idea for clients who want to book a visually appealing calendar with you.

Say goodbye to fixed formats: this is how you get signs in your desired size.
The space next to the door has been too small for a sign with the customer logo? Or a sign is to be created on behalf of the customer, but the building facade, where the masterpiece is supposed to hang later, has a rather peculiar measurement? – Every designer knows such situations. Now you can decide for yourself what size your sign, your tarpaulin, or your fabric banner should be. Exactly as you need it. In this video, you will learn how to set your very own measurement for the next sign printing at viaprinto.de.
Design and export creative goodie bags in Adobe InDesign.
You have always wondered how to create a three-dimensional packaging design? In this video training, I will show you the aesthetically pleasing design of a paper carry bag in Adobe InDesign. As a starting point, we will use the template from the online printing company https://www.viaprinto.de/. Using this template, we will create a tasteful design for a chocolate and confectionery shop that is practical for use as a goodie bag at trade shows. Afterwards, we will take care of the print-ready PDF export and upload our printed product to a 3D showroom, where we can view it from all sides.

Create partial refinements in InDesign.
With partial finishing using hot foil in gold or silver, partial UV varnish, or partial relief varnish, printed materials stand out even more and receive a premium look. But how is such a document actually prepared for printing? We also clarify this in our video tutorial for viaprinto:
Corporate publishing for reach through YouTube and similar platforms.
What do you get when you add reach plus reach? That’s right, even more reach! And that’s why we are delighted to have such a professional partner by our side, who not only enjoys a good reputation but also sweeps across the floor with us in identical rhythm. The viral impact of our collaboration leaves lasting successes. Top hits also gladly reach over 100,000 views on YouTube. It’s a great feeling to receive so much community support on all channels and at the same time do something good for the creative online community! We’re open to any further ideas.
