In the Printing sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, 2D Animation delivers measurable results that transform how printing professionals communicate with their audience.
Print shops and commercial printers face a paradox: their product is tactile, yet they must sell it through digital channels. Video bridges this gap by showing the sensory experience of print — ink hitting paper on offset presses, foil-stamping machines applying metallic finishes, die-cutting blades creating custom shapes, and the satisfying crack of a freshly bound book spine. Close-up footage of paper textures, color matching under controlled lighting, and Pantone swatch comparisons demonstrate quality that flat images cannot. These videos work on websites, Instagram showcasing craftsmanship, trade-show booth screens, and email campaigns targeting graphic designers and marketing managers who specify print jobs.
Print and digital publishers face a fundamental transformation: audiences consume 78% of news and editorial content through video. The shift from text-first to multimedia newsrooms requires new skills, workflows, and production capabilities — while maintaining editorial quality and journalistic standards.
Publishing houses must create author interviews, book trailers, and editorial video content to compete for attention. The economics are challenging: video production costs more than text but generates significantly more engagement and advertising revenue.
A regional newspaper launched a daily video news segment alongside their print edition. Digital subscriptions grew 156%, advertising revenue from digital video exceeded print ad revenue within 18 months, and the newsroom won two digital journalism awards.
A publishing house created an author interview and reading series for their catalog. Book sales increased 89% for featured titles, and the series built a subscriber community of 45K loyal readers.
Publishing video drives sustainable transformation: video news content generates 6x more social shares, author interview videos increase book sales by 89%, and video-first editorial strategies drive 3x more social sharing and 4x higher advertising CPMs. Publishers with strong video content see 65% higher digital subscription conversion rates.

2D animation brings illustrated characters, environments, and scenarios to life frame by frame. Unlike motion design which moves graphic elements, 2D animation creates the illusion of life through hand-drawn or digitally drawn sequences with squash, stretch, and follow-through. We work in Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Animate at 24fps for cinematic quality or 12fps for a stylized look. Projects range from 15-second social loops to 5-minute narrative shorts. Expect a 3-6 week timeline depending on character complexity and scene count, with animatics delivered at the halfway mark for your approval.
You receive: animated video in all formats, source project files (After Effects/C4D), individual asset library (AI/SVG), Lottie files for web integration, GIF versions for social, and style guide documentation for future animations.
Software: After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Illustrator | Animation: 24/30/60 fps, Lottie/JSON export | 3D: Octane/Redshift rendering | Output: ProRes 4444 (alpha), H.265, WebM, GIF, Lottie
