With an unrivalled history in the production of all things stationery and journal related, Smythson is a true British institution.

Whilst seemingly a straightforward exercise, our work to create the luxury book for Smythson’s Diary Collection had some very specific and unusual requirements. The cover material and the iconic blue paper used at the front and rear of the text, are both unique Smythson assets. Supplied to us directly from Smythson themselves, we carried out a range of pre-press testing to ensure that every aspect of the book, from the full colour printing of the text to the flourish of gold foil on the cover, met Smythson’s exacting standards.
