Literature
The literature concept extends the defined layout principle for all requirements for publications. Depending on the content and target group, the publications are divided into content-related and formal topics. This ensures a uniform appearance for all Koenig & Bauer print products.
Concept for cover pages
Background in brand colour
Cover pages for publications are always based on the previously defined layout principle. The ways in which images are deployed, and the ways in which brand colours are used for backgrounds, depend on the content and the target group of the respective publication.

Corporate and image level
All corporate and image level publications use Koenig & Bauer Blue as the background colour.

Product and service level
Product and service level publications use Koenig & Bauer Grey as the background colour.

Special publications
Optionally, Koenig & Bauer Red can be used for special publications.








Overview of publications by target group
Koenig & Bauer publications are subdivided into different levels, depending on the content and the target group.

Templates which can be used for creating all types of publications (formats: A4, DL and A5) can be downloaded as InDesign templates.

Example brochure
Format-specific column grids have been predefined for standard formats. These allow maximum flexibility when positioning texts and images. The baseline grid is predefined and runs within the print space. Running texts are always positioned within the grid. Column grids and baseline grids are already available for the respective formats in the InDesign templates, and can be used directly.
