Label and collective press kit template
Once you have a visual identity, your press kit cannot ignore it. Press Bureau is the only one of the three that adapts to your colours instead of imposing its own.
The look is editorial and deliberately raw: large type, hard blocks, little radius, heavy contrast. It reads closer to a printed press release than to a landing page, and that reference is intentional — it is the language of labels and collectives that built a brand before they had a website.
What actually sets it apart is palette control. You pick primary, secondary, background and ink, and the whole press kit recomposes around them. It is not an accent applied over someone else template: it is the template taking your colours. If your label has an orange everyone recognises, here the EPK is orange.
The catch with full control
Worth the warning, because this is the template it is easiest to ruin a press kit with. Four free colours are four ways to break contrast, and text you read perfectly on a calibrated monitor can be unreadable on a promoter phone at minimum brightness. If you do not arrive with a palette already defined and tested, Studio or Cinematic will give you a better result without thinking about it.
Who it suits
- Labels — a label press kit should look like the label, not like the tool that built it.
- Collectives and parties — the visual identity is usually the first thing the project has.
- Artists with art direction — if somebody designed you a palette, use it.
Which plan includes it?
Pro+. It is the only one of the three with brand customisation, and that is also why it sits on that plan: palette control is what distinguishes it.
What if I pick colours that are unreadable?
That is a real risk and the template will not save you from yourself. Check the press kit on a phone at low brightness before sending it: that is the context half your readers will open it in.
Can I use my logo colours?
Yes, entered by hand as hex values. There is no automatic extraction from an image: we would rather you chose the values than we guessed, because a logo colour is rarely the right colour for a background.
Does it print well?
Entirely down to your palette. With a light background it prints better than Cinematic; with a dark one, just as badly. The print view exists on all three.
