Gridly helps you protect your brand consistency in printed communications.

PRLog (Press Release) - May 11, 2011 - Organizations that have invested in a brand identity know how hard it can be to protect. They hire design and advertising agencies to handle new designs and high-profile work like annual reports. But daily printed communications like newsletters, product sheets, HR ads, and point of purchase notices are often handled in-house, and it’s difficult to keep those daily communications on brand.

Browser-based templates and workflow
Gridly makes it easier and cheaper to stay on brand by offering organizations controlled templates for their daily communications. The layouts give their work a consistent look and feel, while allowing people to create or edit documents simply by flowing in text or images.

Browser-based layout tools let you make Gridly layouts from existing document designs. Layouts can be as rigid or as flexible as needed, and can include corporate logos, colors, images and fonts to ensure consistency. Each layout can be used for an unlimited number of documents, which are stored and organized for easy reference and editing. They can then be downloaded as high quality PDFs ready for printing in-house or commercially, or optimized PDFs ready to email.

Free trial and monthly plans
Right now you can get a 30-day free trial, which gives you plenty of time to create your own templates and see what Gridly can do for your print communications. Gridly offers two account levels, one ideal for small teams ($99/month) and one for multiple teams ($199/month).
