Pureprint: 2016 Highlights

Pureprint had a seriously good 2016. They scooped a handful of accolades at the annual Print Week Awards, printed stunning books for the new Design Museum and continued their work with an impressive number of global and luxury brands.

We asked them to share some of their top moments from the past twelve months.

Dior by Avedon

This was a Print Week Awards 2016 Book Printer of the Year winner. It’s a beautiful book with stunning photography which required a lot of skilled colour work from our PureColourHD pre-press team, litho printing and many different intricate finishes including French folding, a lovely cover, foiling and multiple materials, including Japanese papers.

Benefit Cosmetics Brow Box

This luxury packaging PR piece was created to present the brow collection. Using our cardboard engineering expertise we worked closely with the client’s agency to come up with a clever and dramatic solution to present these products, which included a trunk design, Mirri board mirror and internal fitment structure to bring the products to life!

WWF I Protect Tigers Book

An inspiring personalised children’s picture book that forms a major part of the I Protect Tigers membership pack. Digitally printed on our HP Indigo presses, it incorporates the child’s name and other variable options to create a personalised story. Bespoke software solutions, print, binding, fulfilment and mailing are all handled in-house at our state of the art digital facility.

Senator Brochures

We won Print Week Awards 2016 Brochure Printer of the Year thanks in part to this project. The lovely tactile set of brochures incorporates litho and HP Indigo digital print with white ink and striking materials and finishes to bring life to the final products.

Chairs are for People

Combining the old with the new this brochure is digitally printed with Indichrome orange on an HP Indigo 10000 digital press, thread sewn with a stunning Winters orange Brillianta cloth case bound cover. The finishing touches included a personalised fluro-orange letterpress printed deckle-edged jacket created using handmade paper.

Momot Paper Toys

Momot is an acronym for “Nemo Nemo Robot”. In Korean, “nemo” means “rectangular”. The paper toy culture is coming to the UK after massive success in Korea. We printed these fabulous products on our HP Indigo digital presses for the Brand Licensing Conference in 2016 and it’s set to be massive for 2017. One to watch out for!

Momot X Marvel Comics

White Stuff Windows and Doors

Our Print Week Awards 2016 Point of Purchase of the Year Winner is a replica of reclaimed doors and windows that our large format print experts Imprint in Newcastle created for a window campaign for White Stuff. The client was really impressed with how realistic the replicas were and it included the fitting of hinges and door handles to finish off the final product. The materials used are 100% recyclable making this a better environmental choice.

Pureprint Opened a Creative Printing Studio

In February we opened our London office on Bermondsey Street and launched our paper and finishes library. This growing resource is open to any marketing and design professionals to help them to develop a project, to expand their knowledge or to just provide inspiration. There are samples of over 12000 papers and binding materials from around the world as well as colour viewing facilities and a wide range of finished products to view from books to boxes, from personalised products to creative packaging.

Punk in Print

Publishing giant Phaidon turned to us for new book celebrating the visual culture of punk. Oh So Pretty: Punk in Print 1976-80. presents more than 500 artefacts from punk culture and we worked closely with Phaidon to create a book that will be treasured for years to come.We printed the 512 page publication’s cover on 350GSM Elliott Baxter Invercote G with the pages printed on Denmaur’s 53GSM Stora Creamy High Bulk 2.4 vol.

Phaidon and the new Design Museum

Continuing our work with Phaidon, we printed three beautiful books for the new Design Museum. We were thrilled to be involved in the incredible new space and it really topped off our year to see them there.
