Forest Printing

A Clearer Path From Print Project to Quote.

We brought Forest Printing and its AssociationMailer division into one connected website project, with clear service choices, practical buyer guides and a consistent path to request a quote.

The context

Help customers describe the job.

A business card, a sign and an association packet each need different specifications. Buyers needed to find the right service and understand what to prepare without working through dense articles or disconnected page layouts.

  • Organize services and industry uses around recognizable print jobs.
  • Keep Forest and AssociationMailer distinct while making their relationship clear.
  • Connect useful project guidance with the next step: a quote request.

The engagement

What we took on.

Website DesignFrontend EngineeringContent DesignQuote-Request Interfaces

The scope covered the public websites: their visual systems, navigation, service pages, quote interfaces and article libraries.

  • Create reusable layouts and readable typography across both brands.
  • Review the existing guides for practical buyer questions, clear language and supportable claims.
  • Give each article relevant imagery and make the route from reading to requesting a quote easy to follow.

Our relationship: Forest Printing is the Tran family’s print business. Andrew Tran, Modern Labyrinth’s founder, also serves as a corporate officer at Forest.

From scope to implementation

How the work came together.

  1. Put the guide within reach

    Article introductions now sit beside a smaller image, followed by clear headings and on-page navigation. Readers can see what the guide covers and reach the section they need without first scrolling past a large image.

  2. Make industry choices easier to scan

    Forest’s Industries menu groups nine destinations in a spacious two-column panel. Short descriptions explain the relevant print work, with consistent behavior for mouse, touch and keyboard navigation.

  3. Give each topic its own illustration

    Three AssociationMailer guides previously shared one stationery image. They now show distinct studies of proof checking, print quantities and annual-report design, matching the subject of each article.

A clearer start to each guide

The same AssociationMailer document-packet guide, with a compact introduction, illustration and section navigation. The article and illustration are the same; the vertical framing differs.

Find the print work for your industry

A single-column list became a two-column panel with useful print examples under each industry. The larger menu gives visitors more context before they choose a page.

Give each article its own visual

These three AssociationMailer guides previously shared one stationery illustration. Each now has an image matched to its subject: checking a proof, planning quantities or organizing an annual report.

The redesigned websites and reviewed content are published. These are delivered website improvements; their effect on inquiries, search traffic and sales has not yet been measured.

Delivered scope

  • Service and industry pages connect visitors to relevant project guidance and quote requests.
  • Both article libraries use readable layouts, section navigation and topic-specific illustrations.
  • Forest and AssociationMailer retain their own visual identities, with a clear parent-business and division relationship.

What connects the work

The takeaway.

The path to a quote starts before the form. Service choices, useful explanations and clear navigation help customers describe the print work they need.
