Limited Edition Poster:
Designed by Build .
We put our new B2 press to the test with a double sided Limited Edition poster. Consisting of 5 spot colours on one side and a rather epic 16 spots on the other. It is printed on a 180gsm Chromolux stock.

GP Tube Mailer:
After a weeks work of endless mock ups and persistence, An& and Kevin came up with the final construction for our custom GP Tube Mailer, we then gave it to Build to work their magic. The tube is telescopic, it can hold up to B2 size prints & proofs. It has been constructed to be re-used many times.

GP Van :
We were very excited at the prospect of having our van sign written, it was again designed beautifully by Build . The left side panel has a twitter speech bubble. We will be changing this through-out the course of 2012, using twitter competitions that we will make you aware of in the new year.

On the 15th December we did a Christmas run around London in our freshly liveried new van. Delivering the Limited Edition Poster in Our Tube Mailer, it was a really fun day & was filmed by the newest member of our GP family Heather . Sorry if we missed you, we will be sending more out in the new year, so keep your eyes peeled.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & even better New Year. From all at Generation Press.

To maintain our carbon Neutral status, every year we have an assessment which measures the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions we produce- directly or indirectly- from everything we print here at Generation Press. We have done good.
-
In 2006 we emitted 67 tonnes of C02. In 2009 we reduced that to 63 tonnes, and further still to just 58 tonnes in 2010. This is a 8.3% improvement from last year to this and a total decrease of 14.4% since 2006.
And because nearly all of our waste is now recycled, we have gone from creating 3.2 to just 0.5 tonnes of waste per year since 2009- which is a massive improvement of 145%.
We are very pleased with that, and have just given ourselves a little pat on the back.

Making Dad and everyone at Generation Press very proud!
Wired Magazine
The giggle of embarrassment, do they really mean us, the swelling of pride.

Generation Press were thrilled to find that they had been selected by the Wired Magazine as one of twenty companies seen as the World's most innovative businesses. Alongside the likes of McLaren F1 and Howies. Sounds great doesn't it!

A few words from the editor:
"We weren't looking for firms making innovative products -- there are plenty of those in the pages of Wired every month. No, we wanted to discover innovative ways to work -- creative new approaches to motivating staff, or sourcing ideas for ad campaigns, or empowering teams to transform the service they offer customers. The 20 examples that made our final list, we hope, will inspire you to rethink your own approach to how you work. Because who can risk relying on the old rules".

What is particularly pleasing about this article is that it is about how we do business, rather than the work we have produced with the amazing designers we have been lucky enough to work with up until now. I believe this is about running an honest business, a very talented team, passion and relationships! Thats our innovation.
