Cloud-based, it is accessible anywhere, at any time, with individual logins determining authorisation levels and unlimited users, scalable to any size business.
Free consultation and set upPortl® is available to businesses that will benefit from streamlining their regular print requirements that can be built within the framework of the system. We would like to hear from you if you think Portl® is ideal for your business. After our initial consultation, if you are an ideal Portl® customer, the set up and onboarding will be provided completely free of charge.
Portl® pioneers new and smarter ways to manage your large format needs
by removing the boundaries of traditional buying habits.
Bespoke image and logo catalogues can be created as part of the initial set up of a customer Portl®. These are checked first for suitability, then added for use on editable template products. This ensures brand consistency and image quality across every product. If there is a requirement to upload further imagery or different logos for use in editable template products, this functionality can be enabled. Editing of products is only available on desktop devices.
The templating system has a very user-friendly interface that enables people of any ability to create print-ready documents. As well as templated products, Portl® also caters for printed products that have a static design and non-printed products known as inventory items, such as point-of-sale accessories like acrylic poster holders. Editing of products is only available on desktop devices.
Instant online proofing of editable templated artwork with online sign-off means artwork is approved at the point of order. This, together with pre-agreed pricing, ensures there will never be any unwanted surprises.
Once orders are submitted, the artwork is immediately sent into automated print production with maximum speed and efficiency, shortening turnaround times whilst keeping you in the loop through progress notifications.
With total control of your brand, Portl® is the prefect solution for
print buying marketeers and in-house creative teams.
For situations where a group of products is required, this can be facilitated with kits. These can include products that are static or editable within the same kit with the versatility to change quantities of each item as desired. Kit products are designed to reduce the user’s input and streamline the order process.
Once a templated product has been edited it can be saved and will appear in the saved files area of the Portl®. These products can then be easily reordered at the click of a button, without the need to re-edit the template.
Unlimited health and safety signage products means Portl® is the ideal
platform for construction and industrialised environments.
Portl® online tracking notifications give end-to-end visibility of when orders are in production, are being shipped and their delivery tracking.
Delivery addresses are automatically saved for future use, providing a centralised platform with the latest contact details. For businesses with multiple addresses, these can be populated as part of the initial set up and will appear in the shipping details.
Our team of experts take you through an initial free discovery session to understand your products and ordering needs. We provide initial face-to-face or remote training and ongoing support, if required.

how Portl® can help you maximise your business potential.
I’ve tried the demo and I’m interested in Portl® what do I need to do next?
We’re delighted you can see the power of Portl® and the transformational benefits it can bring your business. To understand more about your needs we would advise an initial consultation with us —totally FREE! — at your location and convenience. During this consultation we can demonstrate all the benefits and functionality Portl® can offer and tailor a solution that’s right for you.
Please contact Portl® customer services on +44 (0)1604 774 860 or email enquires@studio1.org.uk and we can schedule a visit with you and your team.
Is Portl® really for free and why?
Yes, the Portl® platform, set-up and onboarding is totally FREE, however access to more product sets beyond your initial allocation comes as an additional cost when ordered. Each additional ‘Static Product’ is charged at £15 per item. Each additional ‘Smart Product’ is charged at £20 per item. If you require large amounts of each product please talk with our advisors and we can negotiate the best rate for your needs. During your initial consultation we may discover added functionality you may benefit from, we shall advise on this too.
Portl® will absolutely streamline and revolutionise the way you are currently ordering B2B print. For some businesses the traditional process of buying print via an account manager and subsequent pre-press team just isn’t as efficient as it needs to be. Once experienced, Portl® will be a true ‘light bulb moment’ for businesses that have that need and understand the huge potential for greater control, optimal cost efficiencies and higher productivity. In layman’s terms, Portl® enables your business to get more done, more quickly and more cheaply. By offering a barrier free entry to our platform Portl® enables you to experience this potential for yourself.
What’s included within the initial set-up?
To get you fully operational we’ll set up your digital storefront FREE of charge. This will include hosting, domain, unique URL, branded interface, and support. We’ll also give you up to 25 users plus 12 introductory Static Products and 12 introductory Smart Products, amazing right!
Can I add more users?
The initial set-up caps the user amount at 25. If you need to increase your user count please contact customer services who will guide you through pricing and processing.
How do I purchase more products?
If your storefront is booming with products and you require even more, please contact Portl® customer services on +44 (0)1604 774 860 or email enquiries@studio1.org.uk.
Does my storefront look like my brand?
Yes it does. Storefront will give you the option to inject simple branding features such as logo’s and colours. In addition, we also have a marketing carousel area which enables you to communicate business news or brand messaging to your user group. For more information on this please liaise with your customer services team.
How do I supply content assets such as images and fonts for my products?
During the initial consultation we shall assess your product requirements, the volume of branding assets you have and their print ‘readiness’. If your assets library is vast we may outline a ‘fee’ to onboard these onto your products and into your storefront library (ad-hoc additions— from this point—will be processed on a request by request basis). Once we have agreed on the number/type of products and branding assets required, we shall provide you with the design template files to lay your artwork onto; then simply submit those files back to our team to integrate into your storefront.
What’s the difference between a Static and Smart Product?
Put simply, a Static Product doesn’t allow you to have access to the online editing features. Instead Static products are specifically created with simplicity in mind and are appropriate for products that are more straightforward in nature and don’t require editing once completed. Smart Products on the other hand will allow you to easily edit text, change logos, colours and images instantaneously. You can even save these as variations so that each product can have several different layouts utilising your branding asset library to further bespoke your design and messaging. For total brand continuity Smart Products can ‘lock-out ‘ certain areas of the design and library to reduce errors and branding inconsistencies. Alternatively, if you want free rein over the canvas and full access to the asset library you can do that too, creating simple and versatile layouts.
What support to I get?
Once onboarded you will be able to discuss any troubleshooting and future requirements with our customer service team.
