Work Journal

If you follow us on social media you'd have seen one of these nifty Cocktail Umbrellas in a refreshing glass of G&T in the baking Leicestershire sun and now they are back to brighten up our Work Journal too (pun intended)! With the help of our dedicated studio team Salford Van Hire immediately chose this rimmed finish, full colour option which allowed their logo to bounce against the delicate white base.

For this project we used our Cocktail Umbrellas (MP18439).

Our studio was chuffed to bits when we received this sample of socks we produced! We started the process by creating some inspirational visuals, with our client simply adoring the repeat pattern the artwork team came up with using their brand guideline resources. The harmony between each shape partnered with black base and white ends creates a truly modern and desirable piece of bespoke looking merch.

For this project we used our Bespoke Knitted Socks (MP20311).

Sometimes we come across products that look impossible to make promotional and unique which could easily have been said for this Screen Cleaner, however the quality and depth of brand exposure has left us completely gobsmacked! Pantone matched to the face of the cleaner we appreciate the levels of depth across the monotone product colour which gives the artwork a huge level of clarity and sharpness.

For this project we used our 2 in 1 Compact Screen Cleaner (MP22327).

We've said for years that engraving and embossing are 2 of the most premium looking print methods and this Croft Set had both integrated to leave us in total ecstasy! With a soft touch feel to the cover the branding on both pen and notebook has a subtle distinction that compliments the vivid purple and chrome elements to give it a touch of richness & quality.

For this project we used our A5 Croft Notebook & Pen Set (MP21092).

Both of these Durham Mugs were Pantone matched to the outer sides giving them a truly bespoke feel which works in harmony with the black print and white inner to make the truly burst into life. The matt finish also gives these vibrant mugs a delicate touch which are simply a joy to hold. Now someone pop the kettle on!

For this project we used our Pantone Matched Durham ColourCoat Mug (MP14151).

A classic mug that meets modern design values this project for Sticky Baits filled us with pride! With a deep black outer and contrasting white inner, their design was screen printed in 2 colours to the outer wrap area offering all sides a considerable vantage of brand exposure. The harmony between the white, black and pink just gives these mugs a slick overall aesthetic, really nice work Sticky Baits!

For this project we used our Durham Mug (MP13693).

This bottle simply screams style & class! On this occasion our contact decided on a polished white bottle accompanied with a silver lid, a simple choice of colour that becomes luxurious and highly desirable through the stunning wrap around designs. These were printed in full colour but the highlight for this project for us was the map, which was printed at 30% tint of black for a subtle finish.

For this project we used our Full Colour Thermal Bottle (MP21855).

Produced for an event, this Baseball was playfully chosen to tie in with the campaign creating a distinctive piece that has bundles of brand potential. The logo was printed in black with the icon closely matched to the company pantone colours, adhering each ball to be as consistent as possible within the brand guidelines.

For this project we used our Baseball Stress Item (MP13281).

All elements of this full colour digitally printed Barkby Notebook give the design a wonderful balance across the cover. The use of breathing space across each design break helps the eye focus from the centre, top then back down towards the bottom to really hit home the brand message. What’s more is that the glowing white cover and cyan blue details enabled us to create a stunning level of brand cohesion across the piece.

For this project we used our A5 Medium Barkby Notebook (MP20874).

Made with bundles of love and care we were simply ecstatic when this sample came in for these bespoke socks. They were produced using a jacquard woven technique which gives each sock a premium overall finish whilst the soft nature of the socks gives them a highly desirably aesthetic.

For this project we used our Bespoke Knitted Socks (MP20311).

Whether they end up in a toy box or on desks, these van models we produced for Murphy Plant really speak the brand volume and are bound to keep the logo in the minds of all! The vans were first sprayed green in their brand colour before having their design printed to each side of the van and bonnet for maximum exposure, great job Murphy Plant, until next time!

For this project we used our Diecast Transit Van Model (MP13270).

Pantone matched to green 2240c, these bottles contain a luxurious looking matte finish which complements the brand and brand message instinctively. Using a black based print to the front, gold to the black, and silver lid to finish the bottle off these bottles wouldn't look out of place on any high street shelf.

For this project we used our ColourCoat Thermal Bottle (MP21252).

CA Group really made the most of their full coverage mouse mats with this modern and sleek looking design. The design integrates their brand identity whilst the whitty use of the gradient subtly yet strikingly persuades the eye to look across the composition.

For this project we used our Textile Mouse Mat (MP16723).

Screen printed in white to the front of these Foxton Bottles, CA Group made the most of the similarities between the clear stock blue of these bottles and their own brand blue for a closer level of personalisation and brand fluency. The white on transparent gives the logo a refined looking finish which is utterly gorgeous (if we may say so ourselves)!.

For this project we used our Foxton 500ml RPET Bottle (MP22060).

Blind embossed to the front cover of this plush grey croft notebook CA Group have managed to give their brand a premium looking edge courtesy of this gorgeous print technique! The notebooks have a wonderful soft feel which is enhanced further through the sharper depths of the emboss. Simply stunning!

For this project we used our A5 Medium Croft Notebook (MP19302).
