In 2007, one of our customers wanted to launch a new series of sea charts, which were to be for the use of yachtsmen and motor craft users in the leisure side of the marine industry.

They needed to be:

• 100% waterproof

• Robust & durable

• Simple to update

• Easy to read

Initially, we needed to source the appropriate material. This could obviously not be ordinary paper, and we worked with our customer to source the waterproof and tear resistant material upon which the charts are now printed.

We have been producing a range of stationery and marketing literature for Laverstoke Park Farm for over 10 years. In that time, the farm has grown considerably and now covers some 2500 acres around Overton and a further 130 acres of fields in Lymington.

Their aim is to become “self-sustaining and self-sufficient, producing the best-tasting, healthiest food, without compromise”.

The printing requirements have also grown to such an extent, that we are now producing a lot of the packaging for the various products being produced on the farm, as well as the stationery and marketing literature. We have worked closely with the design and creative team at Laverstoke Park Farm, led by John Bloor, the Creative Manager, and helped to design some of the sleeves and packs for the produce. Please see John Bloor’s testimonial.

This involved a number of meetings to discuss the requirements, choosing papers and board, conducive to their organic and bio-diverse philosophy, and producing samples, proofs and dummies of the packaging products.
