The press
EditorialThe press running before any price: a film at the top of the page, then suites priced by quantity band, then the commission with its wording deadline.
For stationers
Approve the suite before it goes to press.
A studio for invitation suites: type, stock and print method agreed in one brief, with a rendered suite to approve before the press date is set.

Starting storefronts
Walk through a stationery store
before you open yours.
Every look is a finished store, with its own studio name, palette, wording and portfolio. Open one to see the whole page, then start yours from it and edit what you like.
Marl & Type
Type, and nothing standing behind it.
Type only
MinimalNo illustration and no ornament: one column of type, one paper, and nothing else on the page.
Cotton Row
The paper is the product; the press is a note at the back of the page.
The suite, by the band
EditorialPrice first, film after: one suite at four quantity bands, a proof round and a dispatch date, and a second door for wording the bands do not cover.
How it works for stationers
Built for the way
you already work.
Same studio, in this craft’s words. The brief questions, the examples and the concepts are all written for stationers, and nothing else changes.
- 01
Publish your studio
Your suites, your papers and your press on one page. Send it to a planner without an explanation.
- 02
The brief arrives complete
Quantity, stock, print method, palette and the wording deadline, all in one brief instead of eleven emails.
- 03
A suite renders
The answers become a rendered invitation, so typography and colour are agreed before plates are ordered.
- 04
Proof, press, deliver
A settled concept means one proof round instead of four, and the press date holds.
