Today is Blue Monday!

According to the media, today is supposedly the most depressing and gloomiest day of the year. As people come down from holiday-highs, start to receive their credit card bills, and start to experience ever colder weather ...and the fact that it's a Monday, it's easy to see why you can get down in the dumps. 

 Not me! ...I'm using it as a brilliant excuse to tell you that here at Fenner Paper, many of our paper ranges include shades of blue, which when you add them up total 29 different shades of blue!!!

Yes, it's a derisory ploy, but then apparently Blue Monday was itself a cynical invention back in the early 2000's developed as a way of selling summer holidays in January!

29 different blues is as many as some of those other bigger companies (you know who I mean!) can offer... So if you feel like a blue today, get in contact.

Laings receipt wallets

Laings is a prestigious family-run jewellers with over 177 years’ experience in the industry. Established in 1840 they are now one of the largest independent jewellery businesses operating six stores across the UK. I wrote about the covers of the brochures here and these are the receipt wallets used throughout the stores.

The 4pp wallets are 148x105mm, portrait with a half height pocket on the inside back cover....

The wallets are digitally printed in white ink plus an all over digital varnish with the L monogram - the result is superb as the white is strong and the varnish subtle.

The receipt wallets are printed on one of our new Colorset shades - Colorset Deep Blue in 270gsm. Print is by Kestrel Press, as with Laings, Kestrel are also a family owned company based in Irvine in Scotland and founded over 40 years ago. My thanks to Graeme Ferguson at Kestrel for sending me these copies.

Just the cover makes the difference! I've written on this blog about many projects where the cover "makes the difference" and this is just one of those projects....
