Container Line & Freight Brand Guidelines Template – 48-Page Brand Book for InDesign

Hand over a confident freight brand book without starting from a blank page. Every page is the side of a shipping container: a corrugated top rail, a corner casting in each corner, a lashing rule under every title, facts on riveted CSC data plates and a real ISO 6346 box code in the footer. Headlines are set in Big Shoulders Stencil caps. The template is organised in 7 chapters named after ports of call on one voyage, each opening with a container door in its own colour:

• 01 PLGDN · Brand – purpose & brand idea, values, audiences, tone of voice
• 02 DEHAM · Logo – primary logo, construction on two rib pitches, clear space & minimum size, versions, colourways, logo on photography, misuse ("held at customs"), co-branding
• 03 NLRTM · Colour – palette with CMYK, RGB, HEX and Pantone, proportions, five cargo status colours for app, e-mail and terminal screens, contrast & tints
• 04 BEANR · Typography – Big Shoulders Stencil, Instrument Sans and Martian Mono, hierarchy, codes & numbers
• 05 GBFXT · Visual elements – container grid, graphic devices (ribs, corner casting, CSC plate, box code, stencil numbers), harbour photography, 12 icons, route maps & data
• 06 ESALG · Applications – 20 ft and 40 ft container livery, road haulage, feeder vessels, stationery, bills of lading and shipping documents, tracking app, website & e-mail, workwear & terminal gate signs, brand in use
• 07 SGSIN · Production – materials and paint, files & naming, customs clearance checklist
