Finishing Touch - 08/05

Staverton's office furniture is beautifully designed and crafted, and the brochure we created had to reflect this. The finish of the text pages is high gloss - we used a shiny stock and then UV varnished it. This matches the finish of the furniture surface – ultra smooth, ultra clean. The cover is acrylic with the Staverton logo welded in. The whole brochure is tactile, mirror smooth and totally desirable.

Many processes went into producing the White Book, which showcases nine ranges from paper company GF Smith. These include foil blocking on the cover, five colour print and half tone images on coloured stock. However, for that extra edge we decided to use an old technique called end-blocking. We could only find one printing company in the whole country that could meet our needs. The silver end-blocking is very distinctive and is a beautiful finishing touch.
