Does Serenade custom design my Smart Formats?

Once an order is placed, if your Smart Format requires custom design work, we can either provide simple templates for your design team or support you directly with the design process.

Similar to a vinyl record, CD, or cassette, the core structure of each Smart Format is fixed, but many can be personalised with your own artwork, colours, and fonts.
