'GP is 10' is now off and running and the first lucky recipients are starting to receive their copies of our GP10 mailer!
-
Packaged in a specially designed/constructed mailing box (with our own Colorplan Barry™ duplexed to the inner). Inside is a wallet holding ten items featuring contributions from Build, Sanna Annukka, Timothy Saccenti & John O'Reilly
-
This is a gift from us to our customers who have supported us over the last ten years. We are very proud to have worked with Build, Sanna, Timothy & John on this project. This is also a testament to everyone here that has put the time and effort in to making all the pieces as good as they are.
-
This would not have been possible without the huge contribution of the creative's involved, so a very big thank you to them!
-
Most important at this time is all the people that make up Generation Press. Every detail on this has seen everyone contribute and it is their skill and craftmanship that has made this what it is - A massive thank you to all at GP.
-
Keep an eye on our twitter feed (@GenerationPress) for a chance to win 'GP is 10' items.
Yet more to come! Four limited edition posters that we think are really quite special, one from each of our contributors...more info soon!

Yellow Door Invitation – Yellow Door – 19543

Press Invitation for Yellow Door
-
This really lovely piece combines black with overprinting fluorescent inks, with matt black foil details to the reverse. The show through and the impression of the letterpress-like matt black foil makes this invite quite mesmeric.

19 Stationery – Zip Design – 19327

19 Entertaiment Stationery
By Zip Design
-
Zip Design got in touch with us to try and crack this beauty, with the combinations of foil and print across all items, this needed a real attention to detail.
-
The business Cards are great, with different coloured backs to all the cards, on the front of the cards, each person has their details in white foil on colorplan ebony. Interestingly we duplexed two 175gsm Colorplans to give a nice elegent feel to the cards.
-
The letterheads and compliments slips had all the details in shiny black foil, and the rich black reverses printed solid litho on to one of our favourite sheets Zanders Zeta Micro. The micro embossing on these sheets adds that little extra dimension.
