SayPro Monthly Production & Printing:

For monthly projects, SayPro’s brand material office coordinates with the marketing department to ensure printing requirements are met within the deadlines set out in the SayPro Monthly production plan. Specific instructions for monthly printing projects are as follows:

1. Paper Stock & Finish Selection:
   • The paper stock should be selected based on the specific requirements of the monthly project, taking into account factors like durability, appearance, and brand guidelines. Options include options like coated paper for high-quality finish or matte stock for a more subdued, professional look.
2. Brand Material Alignment:
   • It is crucial that printed materials are consistent with the company’s branding. Therefore, all paper stock, finishes, and design elements should align with the SayPro Marketing Royalty Standards (Royalty SCMR). Marketing teams will provide guidelines on colors, fonts, and logos that should be maintained in all materials.
3. Coordination with Marketing Team:
   • The SayPro Marketing department plays a pivotal role in approving the paper stock and finish, ensuring that all printed materials reflect the brand’s identity and message effectively.
4. Royalty SCMR Compliance:
   • Each monthly printing job must adhere to the Royalty SCMR guidelines, which dictate how branded materials should be presented. These guidelines ensure consistency across all projects, preventing discrepancies in quality and aesthetics.
5. Logistics and Delivery:
   • Timely delivery is crucial. The SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR ensures that the printed materials are available on schedule for any required marketing events or promotions.
