Premium Recycled A5 Notebook

Completed: 30.05.23

The colours tie in perfectly with Specsavers' brand colour palette, helping the lime green book mark pop against the forest green colour of the smooth outer cover. Great use of product options here Specsavers!

For this project we used our Premium Recycled A5 Notebook (MP22086).

Sao Paulo Sports Bottle

Completed: 28.05.23

Having this full colour print to the lower end of the bottle makes this a more retail finish. What's more the print colours tie in perfectly with the lid of the bottle giving it a balanced hierarchy.

For this project we used our Sao Paulo Sports Bottle (MP17532).

Bamboo Grip Travel Mug

Completed: 27.05.23

All elements here give these travel mugs a wonderful distinctive and natural finish! Our favourite element is the difference between the smooth mugs and rugged grips, which both have a surprisingly light feel.

For this project we used our Bamboo Grip Travel Mug (MP21192).

Siesta Sunglasses

Completed: 26.05.23

The recipients of these sunglasses we produced for Turtle Bay are certain to be the boss of the beach! The glowing sun yellow has parallels to their own brand yellow whilst the logo is subtly printed to either arm in white for a retail aesthetic.

For this project we used our Siesta Sunglasses (MP20656).

Mercedes Sprinter Van

Completed: 25.05.23

When we started 2023, little did we know one of our highlights of the year would be a van! This cool and playful product has an entirely bespoke outer with exceptional detail. The best part is that we often see the real ones from the office window with little difference in detail, nicely done Metro Rod!

For this project we used our Mercedes Sprinter Van (MP10543).

60mm Round Stress Ball

Completed: 24.05.23

Soft and spongy these 60mm version of the 70mm ball is a classic example of how a basic product is elevated with print. The HX logo was printed to one side in a delicate white, with the pad printed method relaying a natural look to the smooth surface.

For this project we used our 70mm Round Stress Ball (MP10323).

HL Soft Stylus Pen

Completed: 23.05.23

The crisp branding on these pens works so well with the inverse colours making them a great duo. We love the metallic throughout the pen as it gives off a immense shine, especially in light, making it unmissable.

For this project we used our HL Soft Stylus Pen (MP17092).

Vinyl Stickers

Completed: 21.05.23

Fun with a huge element of pop, these vinyl stickers are sure to live long in the memory! The icon was printed to show through the plush purple brand colour, which helps take the white detail new heights.

For this project we used our Vinyl Stickers (MP14820).

725ml Bottle with Flip Straw

Completed: 17.05.23

Here we have another example of how our studio made the most of a larger printed area. Alike the below file copy, Specsavers gave the thumbs up to add the hydration scales to the opposing side, whilst they also added name box to ensure that no-one muddled their bottle up.

For this project we used our 725ml Bottle with Flip Straw (MP21202).

Parker Jotter Special Ballpen

Completed: 15.05.23

What a job this is! Our contact at Ocean Winds decided on the Yellow stocked parker barrel which tied in really close with their own brand colours. We screen printed their logo to the barrel with the overall feel a bespoke product with a retail name in Parker.

For this project we used our Parker Jotter Special Ballpen (MP10314).

Postcard A6

Completed: 14.05.23

Here we have another one of HSBC's full colour postcard designs, with the glistening front cover being an intelligent way of indicating to turn to the back where they printed a message to all recipients.

For this project we used our Postcard A6 (MP13732).

Cuboid Power Bank

Completed: 12.05.23

Turtle Bay have pulled off a blinder with these power banks! Using only their strap line it's so easy to recognise the brand in question. The artwork was printed running down the power banks to make the use of the elongated branding area and to give it an appreciated level of breathing room.

For this project we used our Cuboid Power Bank (MP18075).

Arcolor Pencil Set

Completed: 07.05.23

It's all about those natural elements when it comes to these pencil packs. On this job we printed the logo specified in full colour to ease the price in cost onto the rustic feeling boxes which came out fine and crisp all whilst feeling gorgeously delicate.

For this project we used our Arcolor Pencil Set (MP11391).

Printed Aluminium Clutch Pin Badges

Completed: 04.05.23

The way Canal & River Trust have left aligned this nifty design helps elevate it compared to the standard centralisation. They asked us to flood print the base in their brand blue, with the white design to show through for a seamless and glistening design.

For this project we used our Printed Aluminium Clutch Pin Badges (MP15947).

UK Dye Sublimation Lanyards

Completed: 03.05.23

Pairing their glowing colour palette has worked a treat when it comes to these lanyards we produced for HX! The white pops straight off their vibrant counterpart and it''s bound to make any recipient want one of each. Great work HX!

For this project we used our UK Dye Sublimation Lanyards (MP16917).
