Healeys Calendar 2023

Healeys Printers in Ipswich produce a desk calendar every year and is produced on a variety of environmentally friendly stocks. This month is printed on our Colorset (100% Recycled) Bright Red 350gsm

Design by Ruben Quental - East Norfolk Sixth Form College

The month of August is digitally printed in CMYK and digital white ink, which looks excellent.

Healeys are based in Ipswich and are one of a handful of printers who are registered as a 'Carbon Balanced Printer' by the World Land Trust and can offer a totally carbon balanced printing service including the paper and all aspects of production and delivery.

Design by Willow Diwell - East Norfolk Sixth Form College

The size of each of the calendar leaves is 165x180mm (with wave die cut) and each month is printed on a different board - each is a recycled or environmentally friendly grade. Not all the papers used are from Fenner Paper, but we are fortunate enough to have our paper used for March too (on Alga Carta) which is debossed and clear foiled too

The calendar is designed by students from East Norfolk Sixth Form College, Gorleston On Sea. It's a great opportunity for students to get involved at an early stage is design for printing and to learn about the printing process.

Onloan

Two friends, Tamsin and Natalie founded Onloan which is an innovative fashion rental membership. Their shared mission is to reduce waste, curate brilliant independent designers and reignite a love of clothes without the guilt! They offer flexible plans so that members can access premium clothes from cult contemporary designers to wear and enjoy on repeat.

This printed promotional mailer is 150mm square and is a 6pp gatefold, with one short flap (115mm) as you can see from the birds-eye image below.

The below image shows the mailer opened flat (415x150mm) showing both sides.

It is printed on our Omnia and as you can see from the images, especially below, there is lots of colour and images with CMYK dark areas - and it looks great on the Omnia, reproducing bright vibrant colours as well and the darker shadowy areas - all with an uncoated tactile feel. Unlike many of the publications featured on this blog, which are printed offset litho, this has been digitally printed on toner based digital press. The colours are strong and punchy and the whole publication has a matt, tactile look and feel - in fact nearly as good as litho. This is printed on our new Omnia 100% recycled, which is now in stock and we are in the process of launching.

Art direction and design is by Jenny Campbell-Colquhoun.

It is printed by Healeys, based in Ipswich. They are one of a handful of printers who are registered as a 'Carbon Balanced Printer' by the World Land Trust and can offer a totally carbon balanced printing service including the paper and all aspects of production and delivery.

Healeys Notebooks

Who doesn't love a notebook ...?

This is a lovely series of promotional notebooks manufactured by Healeys Printers in Ipswich. Healeys are one of only ten carbon balanced printers working with the World Land Trust (the same organisation we work with, when we supply carbon offset paper) and have been since 2013. They are also FSC accredited and a member of the Two Sides campaign group.

This collection of notebooks highlights their commitment to the environment and uses the Crush range, manufactured by Favini and supplied by Fenner Paper in the UK. The paper is made partly using the residue from the industrial processing of crushed citrus fruit, coffee, nuts, olives, kiwi, corn, lavender cherries and grapes, these agro-industrial "end of life" products replacing up to 15% of conventional tree pulp.

The notebooks are A5 (210x148mm) portrait, with  4pp cover and 28pp text. The covers are on a variety of different shades in 250gsm and the text pages are printed on Crush, Corn 100gsm.

You'd be right in thinking that there's not much to write about a notebook, after all it's just ruled lines...

...but you'd be wrong, as the singer sewn binding is superb!

Everyone loves Singer sewing!

There are also a couple of pages of useful information about print and paper:

...and the World Land Trust endorsement:

A couple of other things worth pointing out. The paper for the text pages is 100gsm, which is the right weight (or lighter) for a notebook, otherwise you don't get enough pages in the book and it could also 'gape' in the inside spine of the book, which as you can see, this book sits nice and flat.

The books which are printed on deep shades are printed using Healeys digital white toner, as you can see on the cover below. Digital white toner is a much more cost effective solution than white silkscreen, hot foiling or other methods of digital white printing and the results are great...

The notebooks have been produced during the lockdown period and are being sent out now a part of a marketing campaign focusing on Healeys commitment to the environment.
