Design, design, design! It's just what our friends at Catalyst know and that's no different to the full colour digitally printed wrap that is seen with this Universal Mug. The white base was a no-brainer which allowed each 'C' element pop whilst the blue lid is of a similar nature to their own brand blues - a combination that makes the mugs truly Catalyst's!

For this project we used our Universal Full Colour Mug (MP20695).

Segment have done a cracking job with this ChalkMug! Supplied individually with their own piece of chalk the mugs already start with a truly unique talking point which is furthered with the delicate print of Segments mid green logo. The mugs have cool touch, which combined with the print and matt base creates one of trendiest mugs that will be seen in any kitchen cupboard!

For this project we used our Durham ChalkMug (MP14918).

Made from a sturdy 330-350gsm card and finished with a shimmery gloss lamination to the front these postcards we produced for our friends at HSBC are stunningly unique! The full colour process to the front enabled us to print their detailed design sharply whilst the back of each postcard was left with lines and a stamp mark to give the HSBC team the flexibility to add a bespoke message too.

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

Simple yet bold these Seed Stick packs where flood printed using Homes for Lambeth's deep blue Pantone colour for pure brand cohesion. The square nature of the packs works in uniform with their squared off logo giving all elements of branding and the products itself a distinctive and well-rounded overall aesthetic.

For this project we used our Seed Sticks (MP17645).

We love the joyous designs that we see when Arag approach us for a job and this coaster fills that bill to a tee! Digitally printed in full colour using their traditional bright yellow to the matt finished face, the composition of the design draws the eye to the central focal point with that being their logo - creating furthered exposure. Great work Arag!

For this project we used our Melamine Coaster (MP13911).

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).
