Please keep the following in mind before using these templates:

Colours

  • Each templateprovides you with a pre-selected set of EIT Food colours which match the colour template of our brand guidelines. When editing the templates, you will find these in the tool bar on the left under 'document colours'.
  • If you wish to change them, please keep it within the colours of the EIT Food Brand Book, pages 38-42.
