Calgary printing company, Kallen Printing, wins Benny Award

We are thrilled to announce that Kallen Printing of Calgary, Alberta has won a prestigious Benny award! Our entry, “Once upon a pond” was awarded the Best of Category in Booklets.

The Benny (the Oscar award for the print industry) is awarded to the most outstanding entry in each category by Printing Industries of America. To win, an entry must be flawless.

Winners will be presented their Benny statuette at the Gala awards banquet, held in Chicago in conjunction with Graph Expo each fall.

Thanks to Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre in Medicine Hat and Kelly Hartman of Fishten in Calgary.

Print in action

At Kallen Printing, we get a kick out of seeing how the printed products we create are being used out in the world. This was certainly the case when we recently visited the stunning Lake O'Hara Lodge.

Along with a brochure, we also created various pieces for the guest rooms and cabins like notepads, binder tabs, comment cards and chocolate truffle boxes! Mmmm...

Giddy up!

With Stampede around the corner, things are busy here at Kallen Printing! We've been assembling these fun, western themed self-promo books for the creative branding company, Creation Republic.

Ad Rodeo 2011

Kallen Printing is delighted for our client, Kelly Hartman Design Studio (Fishten), who picked up an Anvil for this one-of-a-kind art catalogue, "Once upon a pond". Skate marks criss-cross the front cover with a deboss and clear foil combination; silver foil on the spine represents a skate blade. Inside, the layered pages have been staggered trimmed to reference layers of ice. We love working together with creative people to produce custom pieces such as this!

We printed these sumptuous cards on Eames Vellum natural white double-thick cover with 2 hits of black, a dull varnish and metallic silver ink / silver + green. Then they were laser diecut with spectacular results!
