Whether your organisation is formal and professional or casual and friendly, there’s a document corner shape to match your brand.
Here’s a quick rundown of all the standard corner options available at DocumentCorners.co.uk; and a few tips to help you pick the best shape for your company.
Classic Triangle
Let’s start with the most straightforward option; the classic triangle. If you’re simply looking to make documents look smart and professional, you can’t really go wrong with this one.
Note that a with triangle corner, the reader lifts the paper and folds it diagonally over the corner when turning through the pages.
Circle
While other corner options are more sharp and angular, the quarter-circle option appears softer and more gentle; making ‘scary’ documents such as contracts and invoices seem a little less daunting.
Many brands have made names for themselves in traditionally formal, ‘stuffy’ financial and legal industries by targeting younger customers with more casual, approachable brand image. If you’re going after a similar strategy with your own company, the circle corner makes a good addition to your office stationery.
Square
The square corner option retains the professionalism of the classic triangle, but with a more stylish and modern flair.
If you’re a design firm or marketing agency which prides itself on attention to detail and a forward-thinking approach, this is the corner shape for you.
Rectangle
A rectangle corner is a good choice for reports and guides, as it can make a stack of papers feel more like a complete publication of sorts.
The rectangular shape almost gives your papers a miniature spine; every time the reader turns the page, they have to flip the page across the vertical edge of the page like a book.
Sharp Triangle
Somewhere in between the classic triangle and rectangle is the sharp triangle. Like the rectangle, it can make larger documents appear more ‘complete’ and professional; but readers can flip through pages diagonally like the classic triangle.
If you’re preparing ‘on-the-job’ documents (such as company handbooks or project itineraries) or you’re simply looking for something just a little more stylish than the basic classic triangle, this is the one for you.
Star
The star corner option is a lot like the circle option, but with a zigzag edge instead of a smooth round edge.
It’s not necessarily the most appropriate choice for formal documents, but for marketing communications with your customers and partners, it can make a fun, quirky addition to catch readers’ attention.
