SUMO ...now in colours!

I'm sure many of you will remember that two years ago we launched  SUMO a heavyweight, thick board from FAVINI (from Italy, not Japan!) in black and white only. The range consists of a whopping 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm ...seriously chunky!

The range has now been extended to include a small range of colours - five new shades all available in 1mm thick and below is the new swatch:

...here are the five new shades, all in 1.0mm

The below image shows the massive thickness of the SUMO board.

To promote the new boards, Favini produced a promotional game called KAMIZUMO which you can see in the image below...

Below you can see the 4pp folder (produced on Sumo 3mm) with the cut out creatures.

...and you can see from the image below the exquisite routing which forms the creases

...and which forms the perfect 45degree angle fold below

In fact this project won a Red Dot award which you can read about here:

Sumo is in the news...

In the news today, Japan has named its first home-grown Sumo grand champion in almost two decades. Japanese born Sumo wrestler Kisenosato (aged 30) has been promoted to the top-most Yokozuna rank after his win in the first tournament of the year. He is the first Japanese wrestler to achieve this status since 1998. In recent years, foreign wrestlers have come to dominate the sport, so this is an important moment for Sumo and for Japan.

 

Quite coincidentally, we have just launched our latest range, called SUMO!

SUMO is a new range of heavyweight, thick boards from FAVINI (from Italy, not Japan!) The range consists of a whopping 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm & 3mm ...seriously chunky!

Below is the new swatch:

...and the great thing is that it is available in both Black and White. Ideal for all your heavyweight requirements, such as invitations, business cards, special covers, swing tags etc...

Hopefully the image below will give you an idea of just how thick it is.

...and below, here's a Biro to give a sense of scale.

All items are available in B1 and we have stock in the UK

It is a seriously thick board, although not as heavy as the 172kgs that the new Sumo champion Kisenosato weighs!
