Custom Business Cards That Stand Out


A well-designed business card is often your first impression. Whether you go sleek and minimal or colorful and bold, quality printing makes all the difference. Ask us about recycled stocks or soft-touch finishes that feel luxe without the premium price. We also offer rounded corners, custom shapes, and short-run options so you can update your design without overcommitting.


Branded Letterhead and Envelopes


Professional-looking stationery helps establish credibility. Even if you’re mostly digital, having printed letterhead for proposals, invoices, or thank-you notes gives your brand a polished touch. Coordinating envelopes show attention to detail and can help your mail stand out in a crowded inbox.


Affordable Signage for Your Shop or Events


You don’t need a giant billboard to stand out. A simple A-frame sign, window decal, or vinyl banner can increase visibility and make your space feel more inviting. We offer options for both indoor and outdoor use—including weather-resistant materials, eyelets for hanging, and portable stands. If you're tabling at a market or pop-up, signage is a must-have.


Tri-Fold Brochures and Flyers


Got a new service or seasonal promo? Brochures and flyers are cost-effective ways to share your message. We can help you design something that looks clean, clear, and true to your brand. Printed pieces are easy to hand out at events, display in your shop, or include in mailings—and they’re a great way to leave behind key info with potential customers.


Custom NCR Forms for Service Businesses


If you’re writing invoices or work orders by hand, custom NCR (carbonless) forms keep things professional and organized. They're especially popular with contractors, auto shops, and in-home services. We offer multi-part options, sequential numbering, and tear-off sections to fit your workflow.


Branded Notepads and Giveaway Items


These are perfect for customer appreciation, trade shows, or just keeping your brand visible on a client’s desk. Small items can leave a big impression—and we’ll work with you to find what fits your budget. Even a simple notepad or sticker with your logo can boost brand recognition over time.


Consistent Branding Across All Materials


Consistency builds trust. When your signage, business cards, brochures, and forms all follow the same visual identity—colors, fonts, and logo placement—it shows that you’re intentional and professional. We’re happy to help align your materials or recommend a graphic designer if needed.

Simsbury, Connecticut, is more than just a picturesque town; it's a vibrant community with a strong commitment to supporting local businesses. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established enterprise looking to grow, knowing where to find key resources can make all the difference. At Trailhead Printing , we're proud to be part of the Simsbury business fabric, and we want to help our fellow local businesses thrive. Let's dive into some essential resources that can help your Simsbury business succeed! 1. Granby-Simsbury Chamber of Commerce: Your Local Advocate The Granby-Simsbury Chamber of Commerce is often the first stop for businesses looking to connect and grow within the community. They offer: Networking Opportunities: Regular events, mixers, and forums to meet other local business owners and potential clients. Business Advocacy: A collective voice to represent local business interests to town government and state agencies. Resource Referrals: Guidance on local regulations, economic development programs, and other essential services. Becoming a member is a fantastic way to integrate your business into the local economy and stay informed about important town initiatives. 2. Town of Simsbury Economic Development The Town of Simsbury's Economic Development Department is dedicated to fostering a healthy and growing business environment. They can provide: Guidance for New Businesses: Assistance with understanding local zoning, permitting, and regulatory processes. Data and Demographics: Information on Simsbury's population, consumer base, and market trends to help you make informed decisions. Site Selection Support: Help in finding appropriate locations for your business within the town. Their goal is to ensure that businesses have the support they need to establish, operate, and expand successfully in Simsbury. 3. Understanding Local Regulations: Temporary Sign Permits One often-overlooked but crucial aspect of local business operations is understanding signage regulations. Effective signage is vital for visibility, but it must comply with town ordinances. For businesses looking to use temporary signs to promote events, sales, or seasonal offerings – such as A-frame signs or yard signs – it's important to obtain the necessary permits. These signs are excellent for catching local attention, but the town has rules in place to ensure they are used appropriately and safely. You can find information and the application for a temporary sign permit directly on the Town of Simsbury's website. We highly recommend reviewing this information before deploying any temporary outdoor signage: Link: Town of Simsbury Temporary Sign Permit Application Town of Simsbury Temporary Sign Permit Application Pro Tip: At Trailhead Printing , we specialize in creating durable and eye-catching A-frame signs and yard signs that meet local specifications.
