Kraft Stationery

Check out this simple, fun stationery package we recently produced at Kallen Print. 

We loved the wine stain design which tied in perfectly with the Kraft (grocery bag) paper! Offset printing was used so the ink soaks in to the paper fibers, as would real wine! Or so we've heard... as Swiss, we would never spill our wine!

Pocket Folders

Give your Business Development Team the professional tools they need to close the deal. Whether its for your presentation centre or submitting a proposal to a new prospect, Kallen Print can help you make the right impression!

Here are just a few of the many presentation folder pocket options available in our library of "pre-enjoyed" dies. 

Annual Report with Button & Tie Closure

"How We Connect" was the title of this Annual Report, recently completed at Kallen Printing. Beginning with unravelling the button and tie closure, a visual theme of connecting lines weaves throughout the piece.

The buttons were custom-made using Classic Crest Epic Black Cover in the new "Stipple" finish. The book was printed on uncoated paper, saddlestitched and flatbound. It also includes a fold-out map.

The report was designed by the talented Alyssa Yuhas. See what she's up to at: http://ilikenicethingsblog.com/

Buttons!

At Kallen Printing, we've always admired envelopes and packaging with button and tie closures. We're excited to have an upcoming project that will utilize this fun detail. In anticipation, we created this custom package for a recent sample request. 

Pop Up Card

Inspired by our foldfactory.com workshops, we designed this fun and functional pop up booking card for Purcell Heli-Skiing. Guests can keep it in their wallet, or stand it on their desk as they eagerly anticipate their upcoming heli-ski excursion. We especially like the interplay between the helicopter, trees and skier. Makes you want to strap on the skis/board and head out!

Meet our folding buddy

We recently had the pleasure of attending a seminar with folding guru Trish Witkowksi from foldfactory.com. We love her enthusiasm about unique printed pieces and agree with her sentiment, "Why print a Yawn when you can print a Wow"! Trish graciously featured Kallen Printing in two of her recent videos. Thanks Trish!

FOLD of the WEEK #134: Tri-fold with Surprise Lift-up Panels

January 25th, 2012

I was in Calgary last week for International Print Week on behalf ofNorQuest College Centre for Excellence in Print Media and I was giving workshops at SAIT Polytechnic and one of my workshop attendees, Kallen Printing (longtime foldfactory fans), brought me a huge box filled with gorgeous print samples. It was hard to pick one to feature this week - but I did it! This piece was part of a larger bound piece, and it was in a pocket at the back. The format is so smart and functional as well as beautiful in its application. It’s a great use of a tri-fold format and short folding to create reveal panels and an organized presentation of the content. You’re gonna love it, eh?

FOLD of the WEEK #137: Brochure with Tucking Tear-off Closing Mechanism

February 15th, 2012

This week’s fold is a companion piece to #134 from a few weeks ago – the tri-fold with surprise lift-up panels. It’s a four-pager with a die-cut tab that tucks into the cover. The tab is perfed and serves a very practical purpose as a tear-off keepsake with important contact information on it. Sent to us by Kallen Printing of Calgary and designed by December 2nd, this piece was part of a larger marketing package and I just thought it was one of those great, simple and practical ideas that can offer a lot of value. I hope you like it.

Kallen Print goes in search of Nessie...

Well actually, our clients Roth & Ramberg did! These talented photographers take an annual trip to shoot photos for their desk calendar self-promotion piece. This year the destination was Scotland. This gorgeous desk calendar features beautiful photography and stories of their journey in search of the loch ness monster…

It's here...

With 2012 just around the corner, we're busy delivering our limited edition 2012 "Kallendar" to Kallen Printing clients and friends.
This year's edition features the photography of Urs Kallen, and one stunning glacier photo from our friend and client Ruedi Beglinger. 
Each month was printed in CMYK + 1 PMS and 1 Metallic ink, and then dull and gloss varnished. Phew! 

See other great photos from Ruedi at SME.


Thanks to our friends at Pryor Design for their great work.

Who's excited about winter?

We are! Especially after creating this luscious direct mail piece for our boutique heli-skiing client. Who wouldn't want to get a package like this in their mailbox? Complete with friendship offer, a gift sticker and QR codes linking to customized website content, this piece had it all. And the response has been outstanding! Our client called to say what great feedback the campaign has brought. Just what we want to hear! 
At Kallen Printing, we're excited about what Print can do because it works!

We're also excited about heli-skiing! Check out:
