Design for Blackburn businesses
Blackburn has a strong tradition of entrepreneurial family businesses. EG Group, the forecourt and convenience retailer, was founded here, and many wholesalers, multi-site retailers, property firms and distributors across Blackburn with Darwen are run by second and third generation owners. When a business grows from one shop to ten, its design needs change. Signage, uniforms, price tickets, leaflets and social posts all need to look the same in every branch, which calls for brand guidelines and ready-made templates rather than one-off designs.
Wholesalers need trade catalogues, promotional leaflets for each buying period and product photography on white, which we shoot at from £25 + VAT per image. We set up catalogue templates so monthly promotions can be produced quickly with consistent pricing styles.
Manufacturing remains a core part of the economy. Graham and Brown makes wallcoverings here, and firms produce packaging, plastics, engineering components and building products, with suppliers to BAE Systems at Samlesbury a short drive away. These businesses need technical drawings, 3D CAD and product visuals at £45 an hour + VAT, plus capability brochures.

Darwen, the borough's other main town, has its own paint and manufacturing history and plenty of independent shops. Industrial estates at Whitebirk and Shadsworth hold much of the borough's manufacturing. All design is done remotely from Mansfield; shoots are on location in Blackburn with travel quoted.

Frequently asked questions
How do you keep branding consistent across our retail branches?
dijitul produces brand guidelines that set logo use, colours, fonts and signage rules, plus editable templates for posters, price tickets and social posts. Each branch can then produce materials that match. Guidelines are quoted per project, with design time at £45 an hour + VAT.
Can you design monthly promotional leaflets for a wholesaler?
Yes. We build a leaflet template with product, price and offer styles, then populate it each month from your product list and photography. Leaflets start from £95 + VAT, and a template set-up makes repeat leaflets quicker to produce.
Do you photograph properties for Blackburn lettings agents?
Yes. We photograph properties on location with level verticals and balanced exposure, and can draw floor plans. Property photography is quoted per property or as a half day from £295 + VAT, with travel included in the quote.
