Social Stationery Printer of the Year: Cutture

Judges wanted consistently good quality of print and finishing as well as repro for a category where detail is everything. They were not disappointed by London-based Cutture: “Every part of this submission had the wow factor:, very technically demanding and finished with real attention to detail.”

Such sharp focus was evident in an Estée Lauder product launch invitation with subtle use of laser cutting to create beautiful details and a striking centrepiece. Harrods meanwhile asked for a luxurious printed product to house an Elite annual membership. An original illustration of the iconic shopfront was turned into a French-fold insert that went in a bespoke book cover with box insert. The Dark Carnival-esque pop-up birthday invitation meanwhile came in 18 parts and involved water-based adhesive, laser cuts and brushed aluminium layering.
