3-ply

2011-08-26T10:21:46+00:00

Who wouldn’t think abou toilet paper or facial tissues when talking about “3-ply”? Since recently we are faced with wishes concernng stock combined of multiple layers. The picture above shows some business cards we did as a test run. We combined a black stock with the haptics of rubber or wax with a core of an intensive color. By doing so we achieve a suprisingly colourful cross-section…

What time is…

The pictures gives you an idea of what we’re talking about, right? About 5.000 of those rabbits will be sent through the country and abroad. Who sends them? Sorry, we can’t tell you, but maybe there’s a chance of getting hold of a sample though us…

Our new Baby, a KSB

2011-03-02T06:05:18+00:00

With the new year we got a new baby: an Original Heidelberg Cylinder KS-B!
Why have we done this? Well, we could not say better than the first sentences of the handbook:

It is probably beyond any doubt that the wellknown Original Heidelberg Cylinder of the larger format conquered the world market like no other machine of this class and found the recognition of all domestic and foreign experts. It is the indispensable machine for all modern printers now. As the Original Heidelberg Cylinder was set in batteries by the leading letterpress printers in all countries of the world, this is a proof that one has recognized its unrivaled advantages for efficient and profitable execution of print jobs.

Most of these machines eke out a sad existence, and are solely used for die cutting. Our Cylinder is from a veteran letterpress printer and we will use it for its real destination. So, from now on we can do letterpress up to a sheet size of 58.5 x 40.0 cm. Being able to die cut up to this sheet size is a nice side effect!

200x Magnification

2010-11-13T11:14:57+00:00

Sometime we need better tools than just a linen tester. Checking this business card resulted in such a funny picture we just wanted to show to our readers. Going into detail with 200x magnification: 4 color process, transparent foil stamping and a blind embossing on a microembossed cardboard – looks a little chaotic, doesn’t it? It looks a lot better with the naked eye.

NPIRE turns 5 - Cheers!

2010-10-01T12:23:25+00:00

Today there is a party going on in Hamburg on the occasion of NPIRE’s fifth anniversary. But that’s not all there is to celebrate. NPIRE has a new corporate design and we had the pleasure to help business cards and letterheads become real. The idea behind this project seemed daring and appealing: a blind embossing that gets overprinted using an inkjet for personalization. If this would come to a good ending? Take a look: Showcase “NPIRE”.

The team of Bölling compliments NPIRE on their anniversary, this challenging idea and the joyful collaboration!
