Scale, Simplicity & Consistency in Balance
For this project, the brief was to create a clean, well-balanced brochure — something understated, but with a clear sense of quality and structure.
Arena Smooth Extra White 250gsm was chosen for its bright tone and smooth surface, giving a crisp, consistent base for CMYK print while maintaining a refined, modern feel in hand.
Inside, 44 pages printed CMYK on Arena Smooth Extra White 140gsm carry that same consistency throughout. The stock supports sharp imagery and clean typography, while keeping the brochure light and easy to handle.
The structure is kept simple and effective.
PUR perfect binding creates a neat 4mm spine, giving the piece a clean, professional finish while ensuring durability across the full page count.
A great example of how consistent material choices and considered production can elevate a straightforward format into a polished final piece.

Colour, Simplicity & Craft in Balance
For this project, the brief was to create a compact piece that still delivers impact, clean, considered, and elevated through subtle detail.
Arena Smooth Extra White 300gsm was selected for its bright, clean tone and smooth finish, providing a crisp surface for CMYK print while giving the piece enough weight to feel substantial in hand.
Inside, 60 pages printed CMYK on Arena Smooth Extra White 120gsm keep the look consistent throughout. The stock allows for sharp reproduction while maintaining a light, easy page turn, ideal for a smaller format publication.
Here, the detail comes through in the binding.
Singer sewing with True Red thread introduces a bold, intentional contrast at the spine. Both functional and decorative, it adds a crafted element that lifts the piece beyond standard binding, giving it a distinctive finish.
A great example of how colour, material, and binding choices can elevate a simple format into something more considered and memorable.

Texture & Craft
For this project, the intention was to create a piece that feels tactile, considered, and quietly premium — led by material and detail rather than overt embellishment.
The starting point was the cover.
Sirio Color Lampone 290gsm selected for its rich tone and natural texture, giving immediate presence in a bold square format.
Detail is introduced through process.
A blind deboss to both front and back covers adds depth and structure — a subtle intervention that relies on light and shadow rather than print or foil.
Inside, Munken ID Pure Rough 150gsm continues the tactile experience. The uncoated surface softens the print slightly, giving imagery and typography a more organic, editorial quality.
The piece is brought together with singer sewing using white thread — an exposed binding that adds both function and a crafted, deliberate finish.
Material, texture and structure working together.
Nothing unnecessary.

Scale & Structure
For this project, the aim was to create a compact brochure that still carried a sense of weight and permanence.
The starting point was material.
Arena Smooth Extra White 300gsm selected for the cover — its clean tone and smooth surface giving the piece a crisp, modern feel, while the heavier weight adds presence despite the reduced format.
Inside, Arena Smooth Extra White 140gsm maintains consistency throughout. The stock supports sharp image reproduction and a controlled, fluid page turn across 136 pages.
Structure brings it together.
PUR perfect binding forms a solid 12mm spine, providing durability while keeping the finish clean and precise. The result is a smaller format piece that still feels substantial in hand.

Foil, Texture & Structure in Balance
For this project, the brief was to create a brochure that feels as premium as the brand it represents — substantial in hand, refined in finish, and built with longevity in mind.
Novatech Silk 300gsm provides the weight and smoothness needed for a strong outer structure, finished with a soft-touch (velvet) laminate to introduce a tactile, almost suede-like surface. The result is a cover that immediately signals quality the moment it’s picked up.
To create contrast and dimension, the logo is finished with Foilco Prism Gold foil, which has also been embossed. The combination of foil and emboss adds depth and structure, allowing the mark to catch the light while giving the cover a subtle three-dimensional detail.
Inside, 187 pages printed CMYK on Novatech Silk 130gsm keep the pages smooth, consistent, and ideal for high-quality image reproduction.
The brochure is completed with PUR perfect binding forming a clean 12mm spine that includes further foil detail.
A great example of how material choice, finishing techniques, and production expertise combine to elevate printed products.

Interior Foil, in Practice
For Bordelle, the objective was to create a shipping box that felt refined while remaining practical for transit.
The structure begins with E-flute board, providing rigidity while keeping the overall profile lightweight for shipping.
To elevate the interior experience, the flute is lined with Munken Pure Rough Cream 170gsm — chosen for its soft tone and tactile, uncoated surface. The result is a warmer, more considered interior finish than a standard corrugated pack.
Branding is introduced subtly through foil applied to the inside lid. The logo and the message “This box is recyclable” are revealed only when the box is opened, a small detail that adds quiet impact without interrupting the clean exterior.
A restrained exterior.
A considered interior moment.

Structure & Material, in Practice
For Neunére Perfume, the goal was to create a shipping box that carried the same sense of refinePressisionPrintduct inside.
The foundation begins with material.
Tintoretto Ceylon Black Pepper selected for its deep tone and distinctive felt texture, giving the packaging a tactile, premium presence from the first touch.
Rather than relying on printed graphics, the branding is introduced through gold foil (6220) applied to the inner liner. The foil catches light subtly against the dark sheet, creating contrast while keeping the exterior intentionally restrained.
Structurally, the box is built using E-flute board, lined on both sides with Tintoretto to maintain consistency of material inside and out. The tray component is similarly lined, ensuring the interior experience reflects the same level of detail as the outer pack.
A quiet palette.
Material-led construction.
Designed to frame the product within.

Clear Foil, on Unprinted Stock
For the Accel Summit 2025, the objective was to create a retail bag that felt considered from the moment it was picked up.
The starting point was material.
Colorplan Racing Green 270gsm selected for its depth of colour and natural, uncoated texture.
Rather than introducing printed graphics, the branding is delivered through clear gloss foil. Applied directly to the unprinted sheet, the foil catches the light subtly, creating contrast through reflection rather than colour.
Once foiled, the sheets were die-cut and constructed into the final bag form, with a matching grosgrain ribbon handle introduced for durability and tactility. A reinforced Colorplan base insert completes the structure, ensuring the bag holds its shape when in use.
A restrained palette.
Material-led impact.

White Ink, on Dark Stock
This project explores the impact of restraint.
Printed on Colorplan Ebony 350gsm, the depth of the sheet becomes the foundation. The richness of the black stock allows contrast to do the work.
Using our HP Indigo 7900, premium white ink is applied digitally to achieve sharp detail and solid opacity on an uncoated dark surface. The result is clarity without excess, clean typography held in high contrast against a tactile, heavyweight board.
No embellishment.
No unnecessary layers.
Just material, ink and precision.

Foil & Stock, in Balance
The brief for this business card was clear: distinctive, confident, and aligned with a premium brand position.
The starting point was material.
Gmund Heidi Used White 330gsm selected for its natural tone and substantial weight, creating immediate presence in hand.
A single Pantone 266 was printed to both sides. One colour, used deliberately, brings depth and consistency while keeping the design focused.
To elevate the finish, 353 DP Wishers (Pearlescent Purple) foil was applied to the logo on the front. The foil introduces a controlled shimmer, catching the light against the uncoated sheet without overpowering it.
Minimal palette.
Considered contrast.
Process-led impact.
