Graphic Design & Prepress Studio in Dubai
Designers who sit next to the presses. Bring a logo, a rough sketch or a broken PDF — we rebuild it to press specification, fix profiles and traps, and send a proof you can sign.
The Printing Shop design studio in Dubai handles logo and brand identity, print-ready artwork, packaging design and free pre-flight, so every file leaving the studio is production-correct on our own presses.

About design studio in Dubai
Most print problems are file problems. Our studio exists so artwork is built for the press it will run on — correct bleed, safe margins, ink limits, grain direction and spot channels — rather than fixed under time pressure on the day of printing.
We work at three levels. Pre-flight and artwork repair is free with any print order: we check and correct your supplied file and send a proof back. Adaptation takes an existing brand and lays it out across a new format — a stand graphic, a menu, a carton. Full identity work builds the brand from scratch with logo, colour system, typography and a printed guideline document.
Brand assets are delivered as a usable kit, not a single JPEG: vector logo in AI, EPS, SVG and PDF, CMYK and RGB colour references with Pantone equivalents, and locked templates for the items you reprint most.
Bilingual work is standard here. We set Arabic and English lockups with correct RTL typography and Arabic type pairing, which matters for government, hospitality and retail signage across the UAE.

More about Design Studio
Design Studio at Printing Shop runs on in-house designers and prepress artworkers in our Al Quoz plant in Dubai. The floor exists for one reason: brand, layout and print-ready artwork built by people who know the press. Every job on this line is colour-managed to the same G7 targets as the rest of the building, so work can move between processes without a visible shift in brand colour.
Designers who sit next to the presses. Bring a logo, a rough sketch or a broken PDF — we rebuild it to press specification, fix profiles and traps, and send a proof you can sign. Our prepress team preflights every incoming file free of charge, checks bleed, resolution, spot colours and trapping, and returns a digital proof for approval before anything is committed to press. Colour-critical jobs can be proofed on the final substrate.
Most work on this line is delivered within two to five working days from approval, and rush slots are available when a deadline is fixed. Delivery is free across Dubai and next day to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the Northern Emirates. Because print, finishing, packing and installation all sit under one roof, there is one team accountable for the schedule.
Send a brief through the quote form with your quantities, sizes and deadline, attach any artwork you already have, or push the same details to WhatsApp for a reply within two working hours. If you are still scoping the job, ask for a sample pack or a structural sample and we will get one to your office before you commit.
Design Studio FAQs
- Do you charge for artwork checking?
- No. Pre-flight and minor artwork correction are free with any print order — we check bleed, resolution, fonts and colour, then send a corrected proof for approval.
- How much does logo design cost in Dubai?
- A full identity — three concepts, refinement, complete vector kit and a printed guideline — starts at AED 2,400. A single-item artwork setup starts at AED 150.
- Do I own the design files?
- Yes. On final payment you receive full ownership and the editable source files, not just flattened exports.
- Can you design in Arabic and English?
- Yes. We set proper RTL Arabic typography paired with your Latin brand typeface, and have the copy proofread by a native speaker before it goes to press.
