Our new PowerPoint template
Welcome to the new Mondi PowerPoint guidelines
Our PowerPoint template has been updated to reflect the changes made in the Corporate Identity guidelines (Q3 2014) and to incorporate feedback from users across the business to make it more user-friendly
At first glance, the updates may appear quite subtle, however some are quite fundamental and include:
Our new colours
A new range of slide layout options (including new margins, font sizes and bullets)
A revised approach to headers and footers
New chart designs
A wealth of useful tips in the guidelines
If you have any questions about the use of the template, these guidelines or you need more assistance with the development of your presentation, please talk to your local Mondi communications professional or business segment marketing manager

3. Why these guidelines have been created
19/09/2018
Why these guidelines have been created
Achieving a consistent ‘look and feel’
Our aim is to consistently present the same look and feel for Mondi, no matter where we are in the business
We understand the features of PowerPoint give the presenter a great deal of creative flexibility when designing slides
By familiarising yourself with the guidelines you will have a better understanding of the design parameters you should work within to create a Mondi PowerPoint presentation
The Mondi approach to PowerPoint reflects our business style - clear and straightforward
Consideration to the presentation environment helps design decisions. The size of fonts and the density of the graphics should be adjusted so your audience can easily see the content
Remember white space is important, and that less is almost always more. We use white space to balance copy and colour to direct the eye, improve readability and create a sense of professionalism in a layout

5. Getting started Using the template
19/09/2018
Getting started
Using the template
You will achieve the best results with a new presentation if you create it from the new PowerPoint template
The template is available in 4x3 and 16x9 (widescreen) formats. Please ensure you start with the correct version for your final presentation needs
The template has been created in MS PPT version 2007, which Mondi licenses. Features will vary if you are working on a later version. It is not advisable to work in an earlier version as elements in the template will not be supported
Use the standard template layouts that have been created wherever possible, this helps with consistency and will make slide modification simpler. When inserting a new slide, choose the layout you think would work best for your content
Please do not choose insert ‘text box’ for your written text as it will not be positioned correctly on a slide (use the slide template layouts)
19/09/2018

6. Getting started Using the template
Slides can be copied into your new presentation from previous presentations but please ensure you select the ‘destination slide’ formatting option when pasting. In PowerPoint version 2007 this is the default paste option. If you are using select:
Please check any slides inserted in the presentation in this way carefully, as the styles may not be applied consistently – especially if the original slides were not made using a standard layout or format
Before saving, ensure you have completed a spell check of your presentation. The default language is English (UK). Please change the language default to the setting most appropriate to your audience if presenting locally
If you use the built in translation feature of PowerPoint, please check the translated copy carefully, as words and meaning are not always translated as expected
19/09/2018

7. Logo considerations
The Mondi logo is an important asset to our company
Please treat it with respect
Never overlap any graphical element with the logo
Never change the colour, position or dimensions of the logo in the template
Leave at least the capital height dimension space all round the logo
19/09/2018

8. Margins, white space and guides
The dotted lines on this slide show the basic area that graphic elements may inhabit
Please do not move header and text boxes. This will ensure the position of text is consistent from one slide to the next
Avoid going outside of these margins (unless using full size images) as doing so will make the slides inconsistent and more difficult to read
PowerPoint has drawing guides that can be set to help to align elements
By default this template has the guides set to respect the margins, but be aware you can drag the guides and therefore they may not remain consistent. The guides visibility can be turned off and on [View tab / Guides]
PowerPoint also has built in Gridlines which can be used to help align objects (see Office help for more information) but note – they do not respect the template margins
19/09/2018

9. Use of colour
The first choice colours for slide content should be from the Mondi Primary colour palette
The section of the colour palette we call Primary and Natural Colours should be used for charts and illustrations and a mix of solid colours and tints can be used
Additional colours from the Bright palette should only be used to create interest and impact

10. Use of colour Colours in PowerPoint
When inserting shapes or text please choose from the Theme Colours in the palette
Other colours i.e. Standard Colours should be limited to non-Mondi related content eg: customer related referencing
PowerPoint only allows for nine of our Mondi colours (plus white) to be shown in the Theme Colours selection box
Charts colours are selected from the secondary PowerPoint colour range by default. This cannot be changed in PPT, so you will need to update the colours manually
Secondary colours used as default by PPT when creating new charts
Please do not select these tints (darker than 100%)
19/09/2018

11. Use of colour Beyond the PowerPoint defined colours
19/09/2018
Use of colour
Beyond the PowerPoint defined colours
Additional colours not defined in the PowerPoint colours can be used by either:
Defining the colours by RGB values in the More Fill Colours option (using the custom tab)
Copying the colours from the swatches by using the Format Painter
Once the colour has been chosen it will appear in Recent Colours
19/09/2018

12. Graphic effects and tints
19/09/2018
Graphic effects and tints
Always respect our communication mantra: clear and straightforward
Where possible avoid using bevels, 3D rotation, shadows, key-lines, reflections, glows and gradients
If gradients are necessary use the standard Theme Colours
Select colours from the ‘colour dropdown’ rather than use the transparency or brightness features to change colours

Creating charts
Chart style: use only the ‘flat charts’ as shown on the next slides. The use of grid lines or data points are optional and should be considered when deciding on the best chart for the data you are presenting. Please do not use:
3D charts - unless necessary for the data requirement
Shaped graphics - e.g. use the simple bar not cone or other style
Chart colours: colours should be used in a considered way in the design of your chart to emphasise the primary data. As a rule use tints of the orange and greys from the primary palette
Years should be shown in full 2013, If space limitations demand a shorter format, use the abbreviation ’13, ’14
See the Language & Terminology Guidelines for detailed guidance on the use of other number and financial abbreviations
Chart headings should be in black and centred above the chart
Legend and axes descriptions should be in Black, Lighter 25% colour font. Ensure the scaling of text is in proportion to the chart (see following slides for example)
A comprehensive resource of chart styles is available to download on the Mondi Group and E&I Guidelines sites
If you use ThinkCell to create charts, please ensure the formatting closely follows the Mondi chart styles. For further information contact Group Communications (details at end of these guidelines)

Further information
Consider using this table style approach for an agenda page if PowerPoint is being used to create a written document or proposal, rather than for a presentation
19/09/2018

19. Slide transitions and animations
The standard Mondi transition is the ‘fade’ 0.7 seconds
Slide animations can be very useful to help to structure a story
Use animations subtly, such as ‘fade’ and ‘float’ to maintain a clear and straightforward approach
Avoid using fly-ins and fast zooms as this can be distracting from the message being delivered
19/09/2018

20. Hyperlinks To insert a hyperlink:
Right click and select ‘Hyperlink’ from the drop down box. On the next screen displayed, locate and select the ‘click-through’ link you require. Name the hyperlink in the ‘Text to display’ box
If you know the text you wish to hyperlink, highlight the text and then follow the instructions above (the Text to display will automatically contain your selected copy)
19/09/2018

21. Slide footers
Both the slide number and footer are inserted in the template footer
To remove slide numbers and the footer:
Select ‘Insert’ from the main ribbon menu
Select ‘Header & Footer’
Un-tick the Slide number or Footer option
Select Apply to All to change all slides or Apply for the current slide only
Footers should not be shown on the title slide
Footers can be created as needed to suit the presentation purpose and content
Insert your footer text in the Header and Footer menu box and ‘Apply to All’ slides. If you need to amend the Footer in the slide you are working on only, click the Footer box and change the text directly in the slide
Footers and page numbers are Arial 9pt
19/09/2018

22. Images - inserting and adjusting
To insert an image from a template layout follow the instructions; ‘click icon to insert image’
Alternatively select the Insert tab on the Microsoft ribbon bar and click the ‘Picture’ icon
Select an image and insert
PowerPoint will select all or a section of the image to display, depending on the shape and format of the image being inserted
To adjust the image, click on the picture and select ‘Picture Tools / Format’ from the Microsoft ribbon bar
Select the ‘Crop’ tool. This will allow you to edit the image; moving it within the frame, re-shaping it or cropping it to adjust the image as needed
If you wish to return to the original image, go to the ‘Home’ tab on the Microsoft ribbon and click the ‘Reset’ button
Images should have square or round edge corners (avoid unusual shapes)

To create text with a bullet click once on the bullet symbol
Avoid full stops at the end of bullet points
First level bullet text is 18pt
Use the ident button to create sub points. Second level points are 16pt
Repeat as needed. Third level bullets are 14pt
Fourth level bullets are 14pt
Body copy text can be reduced proportionately in font size if the intended use of the document is for written use rather than live presentation
Standard font colour should be black, using bold and coloured text for emphasis
19/09/2018

29. Header and content (Arial Bold 24pt)
The size of the fonts has been set in the slide masters but these default settings may not be appropriate for your content
Adjust as required, but try not to over crowd and complicate the slide

Printing tips
The Mondi PowerPoint templates are configured for screen use (4x3 and 16x9 ratios). Both of these formats are different to standard paper sizes
To get the best printing results, there is an option to choose scale to fit which prints the presentation to the size and ratio of the paper selected
This feature is available on most computers, but it will depend on the printer hardware, operating system and version of PowerPoint you are using
Please contact your IT support if in doubt

Disclaimer
The disclaimer should feature at the end of every external Mondi presentation. It is there to protect the company from the misrepresentation or misinterpretation of information contained in the presentation.
The wording must not be changed and should feature in its entirety
The disclaimer does not need to feature on internal presentations (i.e. presentation delivered to Mondi staff only)
