English term or phrase: plain-vanilla templates
This printing system enables the Bank to produce high quality direct mail that hits the mark: letters in the corporate typeface that include graphics and signatures and feature the bank's corporate colour. This makes key information easier to read, and accentuates the core message of the letter. **Plain-vanilla templates and layouts are out—thanks to the bank's new ability to develop customised print templates and overlays.**

Ho letto nel glossario di proz che "plain vanilla" è un tipo particolare di obbligazioni ma non so se può aver senso qui. Vorrei quindi sapere se può avere anche altri significati.

Explanation:
io credo che in questo contesto si riferisca alla forma/format dei documenti. Base, semplici, 'regolari',ma anche standardised.
Tra l'altro in alcuni contesti credo sia espressione capace di connotazioni negative (boring), ma non mi sembra questo il caso.
Fin qui mi porta la mia memoria...
