Alfred & Wilde is an East-London based design brand producing art prints, stationery and homewares featuring bold metallics and cool graphics. Founded by artist and designer Simon Mitchell in 2013, Alfred & Wilde draw inspiration from the architecture and history of London (and beyond), using geometric shapes and typography to create beautiful printed designs.  All products are designed with heart in their East London studio.

These distinctive and fun Christmas cards are produced in conjunction with the Science Museum. Size is 170x120mm and they are printed on our Colorset 100% Recycled 270gsm.

The cards are printed on Colorset Bright Red and Natural 270gsm. They are printed using a combination of digital print using an HP Indigo Press plus hot foil blocking by specialist greeting card printers, The Imaging Centre. Unusually for a print company, they have hot foil blocking in -house.

As well as the Science Museum, you can find Alfred & Wilde at good design stores and independent boutiques across London and Europe. Throughout the year you may also spot them at selected markets and shopping events, particularly in East London.

Greetings on Rib-Tone

Last week, I wrote about the Fenner Paper stand at PG Live (Progressive Greetings Exhibition) which gave us an opportunity to show our range of boards to the greeting card industry.

During the exhibition, I had a wander round and visited the 'Springboard' section; this is where first time exhibitors and up and coming publishers show their designs. I was walking through and spotted some lovely cards on a brown ribbed material. I stopped and had a nice chat with Vanessa Bowerman who is the person behind the publishing imprint 'Your Lifetile'

Sure enough, I was delighted to discover that her Mantastic range is all printed on our Rib-Tone [2 sided] 340gsm! Vanessa runs her own design company in Cardiff and started creating framed gifts and handmade cards a few years ago in her spare time.

Vanessa now publishes a range of cards and this was her first 'trade' show and she was very happy with the response from the retail card buyers visiting the show.

The cards are digitally printed on an HP Indigo Press by specialist greeting card printers, The Imaging Centre.

...and with Father's Day coming up on June 15th, what better time is there than to look at a manly range such as this!
