Level-up your printed pieces

January 23, 2020

Every paper stock has different inherent qualities based on the composition of the fibres in the pulp and how the paper is manufactured. Some papers are better suited to certain types of embellishment than others. We strongly recommend discussing what you want to achieve, along with your choice of paper, with your commercial print supplier before making a decision. Choosing the wrong stock for embellishment can be a disaster!

Embossing

Embossing creates a striking tactile finish by leaving an image either indented or raised on the surface of the paper. Embossing can be done on many types of papers and boards. Blind embossing is embossing on a non-printed area (ie: there is no printed graphic to act as a guide — it is being done ‘blind’). Debossing, or negative embossing is embossing ‘into’ the paper instead of ‘out’ of the paper.

Form cutting

Form cutting, also referred to as stamping or knifing, involves making a die that is stamp pressed against the paper stock to cut a shape. Form cutting can be used to create a custom shaped outer contour or to cut a window or shape out from the finished piece. Kiss cutting is similar to form cutting, but does not cut all the way through the stock material. Kiss Cutting is often used in manufacturing peel and stick labels.

Price Rating: 6/10

Spot UV

Spot UV is a gloss coating applied using ultra-violet radiation to cure the finish to the paper stock after the printing has been finished. Spot UV is often mistaken as a gloss Laminate finish as both have a similar appearance — but, a Spot UV has the advantage of being able to be applied in specific areas or as a image, not just as an all over finish.

Price Rating:8/10

Foil stamping

Foil stamping, also referred to as foiling, uses heat to adhere a foil material directly onto the paper surface. Foils come in many different colours and finishes including metallic, reflective and even holographic. Foils are opaque and can be used on coloured or black paper stocks to create a crisp, unique look. Some paper stocks, particularly textured paper, are not suited to foil stamping finishes.

Price Rating: 8/10

Laminates

Available in both a gloss and matt finish, a laminate is a protective film that is applied over the surface of a printed piece. Sometimes a laminate is applied to a single side only (such as on a cover), or to both sides. A laminate gives a superior level of protection, is more durable and has a more striking finish than a varnish.

Budget

Price Rating: 6/10

Varnishes & aqueous finishes

Available in gloss, satin and matt, a varnish or aqueous finish provides an all-over protective coating that is scuff resistant and will stop ink rubbing off. Whilst a varnish or aqueous finish is more cost efficient than a laminate it also has considerably less visual impact.

The Sub Divide, a collective of beautiful print

January 16, 2018

In 2016, we got to be a part of something pretty spesh when it comes to the world of paper and print. The culmination was the limited edition book The Sub Divide. It’s part print, part art and a whole lot of beauty. A curated resource celebrating a selection of 30 highly regarded photographers – recommended by and for, the creative industry. The publication has been developed by a collective of specialists dedicated to their craft.

(Most of the content from this blog post first appeared in Issue 11 of GSM Magazine).

The Sub Divide is an exquisite printed resource developed through the pillars of inspiration, experimentation, collaboration and celebration. It also celebrates craftsmanship. With a unique collaborative approach to production, this resource came to life through the dedication and expertise of some very committed individuals. The project started with a simple conversation between John Wanless Director at Bambra Press and one of staff after they saw printed test sheets of photographic material lying on Bambra’s press room floor. Grosz Co. Lab’s Creative Directors, Ben Grosz and Laura Camilleri then became involved by developing the concept and curating the collection of photographic works which the book showcases. Their efforts were none other than extraordinary!

The collective behind this project comprised includes:

> Bambra Press for Initial concept and delivering exceptional print.
> Grosz Co. Lab for the development and curation of the publication through intelligent, articulated design.
> Huber Inks for the supply of the Pacifica Inks and also specialist guidance on technical advice during the process, supplied by Ball & Doggett.
> The Bindery for the development and production of the unique featured binding techniques.
> Avon Graphics for the production and expertise in embellishments and foiling.
> Foldercorp for the production of the sleeve.
> Cartonlux for laminating the stock for the sleeve.
> Nordale Graphics/Wibelin for the binding techniques.

And yours truly for the supply of paper (visit our existing websites until the Ball & Doggett one is live).

The technical challenges

Such a complex print project presents many technical challenges. A key driver to the success of the publication was the extensive research and development phase. This included a series of mock-ups created by our Designline team in VIC that enabled dialogue with everyone involved. Creating a mock-up although it doesn’t have any print is a key step in any major print project and can save a lot of time and ensure the end product is exactly what you want.

One of the specific technical challenges presented, was the unique bind which creates both an interesting aesthetic experience and is also unusual in placing the index containing the details of the featured photographers in the middle of the book. The bind solution was developed by Ian Leckie, operations manager at The Bindery.

The slipcase (1) uses Colorplan Cool Grey 270gsm stock which has been custom diecut, folded and hand-glued, then duplex laminated to Colorplan Pristine White 270gsm. The embellishment across the slipcase features foiling by Avon Graphics with an API Foil (2004 / CL Clear Rainbow).

The bind design (2 + 3) uses a unique concertina fold to connect the two sections of the book together. The cover uses 350gsm Colorplan Cool Grey stock, on which a range of tactile embellishments have been employed including a multi-level emboss using a hand-carved sculpted die on the front cover (3), and on the back cover (4) a blind press using a foil stamping die without the counter die.

The inside front and back cover (5 & 6) use an API Foil (2004 / CL Clear Rainbow), and the spines and concertina fold (7) employ a blind deboss and foil. The index (8) is cleverly positioned at the centre of the book to make maximum use of the extra real-estate allowed by the open concertina fold, and was foiled using a blue metallic foil.

> The internal text pages of The Sub Divide were printed by the team at Bambra Press in CMYK, using Pacifica Inks throughout, on a Heidelberg XL75 12P
+ Aqueous Coater using Fuji Film CTP Processless Plates. Various screen rulings (specifically developed by Bambra Press) were selected to ensure the best possible result across each section of the book.

After 15 months of development from concept to production, The Sub Divide was officially launched in October 2016. A testament to the quality of the finished product, Grosz Co. Lab were recipients of a gold medal in the Print/Design Category at the recent 34th Annual National Print Awards.

The Sub Divide featured photographers

The Sub Divide features the work of 30 highly regarded Australian photographers. Published together for the first time, the photographers responded to catergorisations divided into two groupings. The first, a commercial response to ‘people’, ‘place’ and ‘pieces’. And the second category was a response to ‘passion’, exploring the photographer’s personal connection, depicted through their lens.

Buffalo Board recipe cards promotion

September 17, 2014

Title: Buffalo Board recipe cards promotion
Agency: Recipe cards – Seesaw (VIC). Notepads – K.W.Doggett Fine Paper.
Stocks: Recipe cards – Buffalo Board, Kaskad Kingfisher Blue and Kaskad Fantail Orange. Notepads – Buffalo Kraft, Buffalo Board, Grange Tints Old Gold and Tablex Tints Salmon.
Printing specs: Recipe cards – Offset and digitally printed. Notepads – Debossed.
Printed by: Recipe cards – Bambra (VIC). Notepads – E.H. Stationers (VIC).

We have a fun, new and exciting Buffalo Board recipe cards promotion for you to feast your eyes on. The cards are a follow up to our previous promo in 2011. You may remember five recipe cards featuring mouth watering buffalo mozzarella dishes? Visit the post here. This latest set of colourful cards were designed by Seesaw and feature simple illustrative graphics that highlight the recipe’s ingredients. To showcase just how versatile Buffalo can be, Seesaw went to town with embellishments and we printed one card offset and the other digital. The recipes were kindly supplied by chef Maurizio Terzini, owner of popular Italian Restaurant Da’Orazio and the famous Icebergs Restaurant in Bondi.

The offset card is printed CMYK on Buffalo Board 283gsm with three foils ie Clear, White and Milford Astor GFE123 Dark Green for some extra bling. The digital card was printed HP Indigo CMYK on Buffalo Board 283gsm plus Opaque White Ink and duplexed to Kaskad Kingfisher Blue 270gsm with Opaque White Ink (two hits) phew! To wrap them all up nice and neat we added a belly band in Kaskad Fantail Orange 100gsm.

Buffalo Board is a low density, high yield product. It’s an uncoated, moisture-resistant folding carton board that is cost effective, has a verifiably low bacteria content compared to many other paperboard products and outstanding strength and durability. Buffalo Board is also available in 386gsm/711ums and is also used for health, beauty, fashion and beverage applications. It’s made from natural kraft fibres that are responsibly sourced and fully recyclable and is carbon neutral (measured exit mill gate).

Printing tips
Buffalo Board is suitable for all kinds of jobs. Think offset, digital and letterpress printing as well as embellishments like foil and screen printing. The natural kraft paper looks great with some white ink (consider two-three hits for offset and two hits for digital). If you want your CMYK colours to really pop, apply a white ink base first then a layer of CMYK over the top. This provides a surface for which the colour can sit up on, resulting in a brighter finish. You might like to do a combination of both like we did for the recipe cards (colours with and without a white base) to achieve a variety of printed effects. It comes up a treat!

It’s no secret we have a thing for bling, but kraft could be a close second. So we’ve also produced a set of A5 notepads as a gift for our customers. They come with three different spine colours – natural ie Buffalo Board, as well as Grange Tints Old Gold 80gsm and Tablex Tints Salmon 150gsm. All have a subtle K.W.Doggett Fine Paper debossed logo on them. It’s also perforated along the spine for writing down quick and easy tear-away ideas.

If you have any specific packaging related questions, please call our John Alipan, Packaging Business Development Manager (National) on 0434 692 446 or jalipan@kwdoggett.com.au and for all the Syndey-siders, contact Chris Churchward on 0488 440 131 or cchurchward@kwdoggett.com.au

Our paper specialists and account managers are coming around to see you soon with your own copy. Enjoy!

Doggett’s has some new dog tags

December 12, 2013

Our new look business cards have arrived and look smashing, bringing us from the 90’s to the noughties, oh yeah!! There has been a suite of four cards designed by David Lancashire Design (VIC), the same peeps that designed the Doggett branding many years ago. We used a variety of stocks and printing processes as part of the overall rebrand.

Here is a description of the four cards: 1. Purple geometric dog – printed 1 PMS 266 (Doggett purple) and black on Strathmore Premium Super Smooth Ultimate White 432gsm. 2. Origami dog – printed matt white pigment foil stamp on Hercules Greyback 450gsm. 3. Silhouette dog – printed gun metal grey foil + matt black foil stamp on Conqueror Laid Concrete 300gsm duplexed to Conqueror CX22 Diamond White 320gsm. 4. Tangram dog – printed 4 colour process (high gamut*) plus 1 PMS on Knight Smooth White 200gsm and triplexed to Kaskad Fantail Orange 270gsm. Print specs: • All the shells were printed at Southern Colour (VIC). • Foiling was done at Lorimier (VIC). • All overprints done at Taylor’d Press (VIC). • Cards designed by David Lancashire Design (VIC). *Southern Colour have an offset process called high gamut that makes certain colours like blue, orange, green really pop. It’s a special process where two or three inks are added in addition to CMYK, to extend the colour gamut and enable the press to print a wider range of colours. This in turn makes images look more vibrant, or ‘pop’ with colour. Ask your local paper specialist or account manager to show you the cards if you’re keen to have a look at the re-design. Enjoy!

desktop’s love affair with print and paper – the November issue

It starts with Matt Huynh’s beautiful illustration on the front cover (see above) and carries through to the gorgeous designs showcased across varying print techniques. It’s great to see print and paper celebrated in such style. Everyone that took part in making this edition happen approached it with pride and comittment and of course, a love of print.

All the paper merchants have come to the paper party too. We’re there flashing our wares in the ‘Special Inks’ section with Strathmore Premium Super Smooth Ultimate White 176gsm (formerly Expression) and the ‘Embossed’ section with Rives Design Natural White 120gsm. We’re kind of partial to our sections but they’re all pretty snazzy, so do pick up a copy and take a good look for yourself. It is definitely a keeper and worth every penny of the $9.25. Well done desktop!

You say goodbye, I say hello

March 21, 2011

Title: You say goodbye, I say hello
Agency: Ortolan
Client: K.W.Doggett Fine Paper
Stocks: Keaykolour Original / Rives Design / Rives Tradition
Printed by: Bambra Press

I am covetable, colourful and exciting. You want to use me, but I often get forgotten. What am I? Introducing our latest promotion for Rives – a modern day stationery set, complete with communication etiquette tips! The Rives promotion reminds us that in this day and age, we often forget the art of old fashioned communication. What? There is no hash tag involved? Impossible!

‘You say goodbye, I say hello’, is a promotion that showcases the versatility of Rives, a stock often used for letterheads, business cards and invitations. This provided the foundation for the creative development. We were fortunate enough to collaborate with two self-confessed Rives lovers – Kat Macleod and Narelle Brewer from Ortolan.

Kat and Narelle played further with the idea of tradition, took inspiration from the classic art form of botanical illustration, and included a twist. The result is a contemporary illustrative approach, featuring water colours of classic botanic specimens combined with made-up mutant flora. The word mutant conjures up a frightening image, but these illustrations are anything but that – they’re beautiful.

The stocks used for the 2011 Rives promotion include Rives Design and Tradition. It consists of post cards (die cut with the most gorgeous illustration and embellished with a hint of gold foil – see pics above), note paper, envelopes and gift cards (that even come with their own yellow string ready to attach to a gift!) and a paper chart.

The promo is printed four colour process, the belly bands with two spot colours (one hit of silver and one hit of white), and everything is perfectly packed into a main envelope (printed outside one colour (black) and inside one colour (yellow PMS 109). Printed on the belly bands are cheeky etiquette tips like: ‘If you want to be invited back, think ink! An email is not a thank you note’; and, ‘Your hand writing tells a tale, make it your best’.

Fusing the strength of tradition with the energy of the present, Rives is a naturally elegant collection ideal for even the most contemporary communications. Available in Design – a discreet, fine mesh texture; Tradition – a refined felt-like finish; and, Design Digital – an indigo compatible sheet. Rives is exclusive to K.W.Doggett Fine Paper and proudly made FSC certified by Arjowiggins Creative Papers (France).
