Following on from a recent theme of hospitality work, menu holders often steal the spotlight, and rightly so for their craftsmanship and visual appeal. We believe the full brand experience goes far beyond a single touchpoint. At Identity, our work spans a wide range of guest interactions: in-room stationery and gift sets, bespoke notebooks, coasters, keycard holders, signage, retail packaging, guest amenities, essentially every detail that shapes how a brand is felt and remembered. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of the production process for these keycard holders for @marhallresort @jaresorts So, here’s a moment of appreciation for the pieces that don’t always make the grid. Mar Hall Key Card Holder Materials: @fedrigoni.paper Arena Extra White Smooth 350gsm Finishing: Foiled in @foilcoltd 6381 Brilliant Gold. Die cut, make up with 2 gluings. #stationery #hospitality #hotel #print #identityprint

Some papers need to be seen - Geltex needs to be held. This beautifully bound Geltex sample set brings together its fabric-inspired texture and deeply saturated, pulp-dyed colours in one very satisfying format. From jewel-toned covers to the weight and feel of every swatch inside, it’s designed to show exactly how this paper performs in the real world (not just on screen). Perfect for book covers, packaging, box wraps and anywhere the surface really matters.

TRADE SECRET Blind embossing paired with duplexing is a premium, high-end print technique used to create luxurious, tactile, and minimalist designs. Blind embossing creates a raised, three-dimensional image without ink or foil, while duplexing involves adhering two sheets of paper together to create a thicker stock. When combined, the duplexing masks the often-unsightly reverse indentation caused by the embossing, allowing for a clean, raised design on the face, and a perfectly smooth on the reverse. Whilst drying the duplexed sheets are held under weight to prevent any bowing or warping (the glue used in duplexing can introduce moisture, causing the paper to warp or curl) and when trimming to size the guillotine clamps the job in position, unfortunately both operations result in flattening the blind embossing. Often when using print-finishing processes in combination this can create their own unique issues, but when it comes to blind embossing paired with duplexing we have developed a solution to eliminate these issues, however, that’s our trade secret.

Insetting (Nesting) Folded and inset binding is a traditional bookbinding method where printed sheets are folded into sections (signatures) and then nested inside one another before being sewn or stapled together, or in this case using an elasticated loop for binding. The edges can be trimmed to make them even or left to creep (inner pages stick out) at the foredge. This binding method allows for the document to open more easily (than glued-only bindings) and when sewn or stapled is strong and long-lasting. However, page count is limited by the number of inset sections, and both the thickness/compactness of the paper so books use multiple sewn signatures instead of one large inset. Common uses include booklets, brochures, pamphlets, newsletters, and zines when stapled. Design: @regularpractice Client: @elicyon Size: 280mm x 204mm. Extent: Cover: 4pp. Text: 64pp. Printing: Cover: @hp Indigo black only. Text: @hp Indigo 4-colour process throughout. Materials: Cover: @fennerpaper Cordenons, Flora Giglo 240gsm.

The rebrand of the 1869 Brasserie at @thehurlinghamclub is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and quiet confidence. Rooted in the Club’s founding year, the refreshed identity honours tradition while introducing a refined, contemporary tone. Every detail was considered to reflect the Brasserie’s evolution, respectful of its history, yet unmistakably modern. The new menu folders embody this balance. Crafted using premium coverings from Winter & Company, finished with a subtle blind deboss, and constructed with traditional wrap-and-turn techniques over solid boards, they reflect the understated elegance synonymous with the Club. The hidden spine elastic and carefully selected iridescent inner panels add depth and tactility, small details that elevate the experience. Rebranding a space like the 1869 Brasserie is never about reinvention for its own sake. It’s about reinforcing identity, honouring legacy, and ensuring that every touchpoint, down to the menu in hand tells the same story. @thehurlinghamclub 1869 Brasserie Menu Folders: Finished size: 245mm x 174mm. 320mm x 240mm. Extent: Outer Menu: 4 Pages Materials: Outer: @wintercompany_group Eclisse 4716 & 4720. Inner: @wintercompany_group Corvon Iridescents Bengaline Dark Teal & Olive Green.
