Visualization and 3D simulation
For review and presentation
Based on the 2D artwork from prepress, Knecht simulates your finished packaging as a 3D packshot. Perfect for evaluating the impact of the layout or showing it in advance in presentations. You can also use the images directly for your web store.
Layout & graphic design
Ideas realized perfectly
Whatever the format – whether advertisement, brochure, data sheet, catalog, or new business stationery – it all starts with your wish, which we make reality with graphical ingenuity, point by point.
Annual reports
Our passion
We love financial communication and provide you or your design agency with reliable support. We would like to show you exactly how.
Final artwork
PrePress at the highest level
Color management, baseline screening, bleed, optical edge compensation, separation, image resolution – all terms from our everyday practice. Print data from Knecht can be realized by the print shop of your choice without any problems.
Visual worlds
Themed mood boards
Both printed and digital media thrive on photos and illustrations. Get it from Knecht! Researched or photographed, coordinated and optimized.
Powerful image editing
Retouching, enhancing, and composing
Publications live by images. To make sure they leave an impression, our Photoshop professionals transform your motifs using every trick in the book. Impressive covers, high-quality clippings, clean colors.
Styleguide development
Worldwide consistency
Most brands follow guidelines to ensure that each country uses the same fonts, colors, graphic elements, and design grids. Our packaging experts will work out practical design guidelines for your new product.
HTML5 website
Custom design hand programmed
Content management systems are great, but you don’t really need them? Knecht will create your new website the old-fashioned way and only add what is needed. And your target group will be happy about shorter loading times.
E-paper & interactive PDF
Print goes digital!
Knecht enriches your finished PDF with bookmarks, cross-references, a clickable table of contents, sophisticated page navigation and links to external destinations. On request also with “Page Flip” function based on HTML5.
Finishing
Pantone®, varnish, embossing

Packaging design
Ideas realized perfectly
Whether folding carton, blister, or leaflet – information must fit into the smallest of spaces and comply with legal and technical requirements. It is excellent when this is considered right from the design stage.
Photography
Your product in the best light
A successful product presentation requires photos. If these are not available, our photo studio can help. You will receive your items as creative arrangements, against a neutral background, or cropped for any desired use.
