Brand on Demand

DMU’s Brand on Demand portal is the place to order your stationery, classroom and print needs, as well as to purchase carefully selected items that have been chosen to amplify the DMU brand experience.

Brand on Demand is an easy-to-use print portal to order your business cards, letterhead, envelopes and many other commonly requested items for daily communication. This portal fills the need if you are printing in larger quantities or a request that the brand kit cannot fulfill.

These items are already designed to order and use to amplify the DMU brand experience.

If you have internal communication needs, please follow guidelines provided in the brand kit or explore Canva for DMU.

All Brand on Demand orders will be delivered via a courier service to each site every Tuesday and Thursday. When you place your order you will select your site (3200, 6500 or 8025 Grand Ave).

Orders must be submitted by 11 a.m. in order to meet a 72-hour non-expedited order. For expedited orders or other questions, see contact details in the Brand on Demand portal.

Canva for DMU

Canva is a graphic design tool that simplifies the process of digital design. It is a powerful platform that allows users to create a wide range of designs.
Canva offers a drag-and-drop interface and many branded professionally designed templates, making it easy for DMU users to customize designs.
The university supports one designated person from each department to utilize Canva for all internal communications needed for individual department needs. Online tutorials and interactive links provide training on the platform and demonstrate how to access templates for flyers, banners, save-the-date announcements and more. To request access to Canva, contact Marketing and Communications.
Some free fonts are suggested in Canva for substitution for internal branding of your communications.
