We are slowly noticing that the calm is giving way to more activity in the office: the phone is ringing more often, there is a lot of brainstorming going on and the diary is filling up again. Preparations for Shopkeepers’ Day are now in full swing, and we are really looking forward to it!
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer. Who knows what September will bring: a few extra sunny days to celebrate the late summer to the fullest.
Happy reading!

New freeform cards
A number of new cards are now available! An added bonus: there is now also a card with perforation! Perfect for a design with a tear-off section, for example as a ticket or coupon.
Temporarily no (new) products
Between 1 September and 1 October, we will not be able to launch any new products. During this period, we will be working on revising the process, which we will simplify and thus make more future-proof.
Similarity in design
We occasionally receive reports from shop owners who have noticed that other shop owners are publishing designs that bear a strong resemblance to their own. Although we are not legally involved in such situations, we would like to draw attention to this issue.
Overlap or similarity in design can, of course, occur. This is especially true because trends are picked up by different designers and incorporated into their own collections. Everyone is inspired by the same trend and translates this into their own designs. But if something starts to look too similar, our advice is: talk to each other. Send an email or pick up the phone to find a solution.
Thicker paper for chalk cards
Starting early next week, we will be switching from 150 to 200 gsm paper for chalk cards. We will adjust this in the paper types within the categories.
What do we need from you? Please check whether anywhere on the website it states that chalk cards are supplied on 150 gsm paper, and replace this with 200 gsm paper.
Please note: this change only applies to chalk cards. Freeform products, such as chalk envelopes and belly bands, will remain at 150 gsm paper.
