North of Scotland Distilling Co. Folders

Established in 1958 by George Christie, the distillery he built at the foot of Wallace's Monument, was unusual in that it distilled both Malt and Grain Scotch Whisky. Today, North of Scotland Distilling Company is run by his son, Ricky Christie selling a variety of popular brands including Wolf of Badenoch.
This is their beautifully designed and produced presentation folder, although it is hard to do it justice with my limited photographic skills!
The size of the folder is 305 x 217mm, portrait and has a 53mm glued pocket on the inside back cover but the production on the front and back covers is extraordinary...
The logo is hot foil blocked in black gloss foil, while the compass device is hot foil blocked in black matt foil. The coloured crest is printed first with a white ink on the black (printed on a UV equipped waterless litho press) plus CMYK Offset litho on top of the white. The real thing is far better than my images show here.
It is printed on our Blackgold 290gsm which is a range of intense black from the Cordenons range.
The reverse is printed in white - 3 hits, giving an excellent density of white.
The folders really are stunning and it was very kind of Philip Wilson at Love & Humphries to send me a file copy with an explanatory note...
Design is by Alan at Cameron Design Consultants and the folders have been superbly printed and finished by Love & Humphries, who are based in Port Glasgow, Scotland.
