Waddesdon Wine - Bottle wrap

Waddesdon Manor is the historical country seat of the Rothschild family in Buckinghamshire and home to Waddesdon Wine, the official distributor for the Rothschild collection of wines.

This branding project includes a bottle wrap, printed using reproduction maps of the vineyard areas. The material used is our Offenbach Bible 40gsm, which is light enough to be used as a lightweight, 'tissue' type wrapping material and yet can still be printed offset litho in four colour process. Here is the final result, wrapped around the bottles...

The identity for Waddesdon Wine was created by Paul Belford Ltd and includes a wide range of printed collateral, including boxes and a brochure and features this W device.

Design and photography is by Paul Belford Ltd with creative direction and photography by Paul Belford and Martin Brown. The Offenbach Bible 40gsm is printed offset litho in CMYK by Identity.

From Babies with love

From Babies with Love supply organic baby clothes and printed cards by post, they then send all of their profits around the world to help abandoned and orphaned children.

The identity has been created by Paul Belford Ltd and has been applied across a range of collateral, including print. The design and illustrations reference postal ephemera, building on the postmark identity.

Business cards are 85x55mm

...and the swing tags are 135x55mm

The cards and swing tags are printed on our Kemikal, Cotton White 1500mics which is a natural feeling, neutral white thick board - 1.5mm thick. so it gives great thickness, but is nice and tactile.

The swing tags are beautifully finished, with punched holes, hole protectors and coloured string.

The below image highlights just how thick the material is:

Now you might think that being this thick, that they were silkscreen printed, however they are not, as beautifully crisp type was required juxtaposing with the smudged rough and ready 'postage mark'. So you might be surprised to learn that they have been litho printed! ...how come? I hear you ask, on a board that is 1.5mm thick. Well, they have been produced using a litho, flat bed printing press. These are machines which (in years gone by) used to be used to produce proofs (and progressive proofs, if you remember them) and because the printing bed is flat and not round a cylinder, the machines can cope with thicker substances, such as this. These cards were produced by Linnetts Proofing based in London NW10.

Design is by Paul Belford, Martin Brown and Bethan Jones at Paul Belford Ltd. You can read more about the project here: http://paulbelford.com/project/from-babies-with-love-brand/ 

There are other parts to the project printed on our Shiro Echo, White, including stationery paper and compliments slips and greeting cards, but maybe I'll write about those another time.

Book - Wrap

Here's an interesting little project that I was able to help out with.

 This is Real Art has just published their first book under their new TiRA publishing imprint.

Shibuya by Adam Hinton is a limited edition photo book (500 copies) documenting Japanese commuters at the world's busiest station and intersection: Tokyo's Shibuya. A sequence of 29 portraits revealing both the misery and pressures involved in the daily commute. Case bound in soft grey cloth, the cover has a simple foil embossed graphic from the Japanese 'walk/don't walk' sign, along with the books title in katakana lettering.

Anyway, they wanted something lovely to wrap the book in and after I sent samples, decided that our Offenbach Bible in 40gsm had the right physical properties for folding whilst also having the right feel to go with a publication about Japan, which is a very paper conscious society.

The poster/wrap is printed with a halftone (monotone) image in Pantone 1795 on Offenbach Bible 40gsm. The image forms the inside of the wrap. The plain paper side (outside) which is left white is then stamped with a custom made rubber stamp.

Printing on the Offenbach Bible 40gsm (which isn't every printer's cup of tea!), was beautifully done by Robert Young at R.Young & Son, based in Croydon.
