Australia's earliest surviving printed document - a playbill for a theatre performance in Sydney - was printed by First Fleet convict, George Hughes, who taught himself how to do it because, despite having a printing press in the early colony, no one knew how to operate it. The playbill was discovered in a library in Canada and returned to Australia as a gift to the nation in 2007. It is recorded in the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register and now resides in the National Library of Australia. While you can't get to see the actual document, you can see the digitised version here: https://lnkd.in/gwm5FutJ and read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/g-N_z2Rv #PrintWorksBest #printdesign #printing #printwestperth #graphicdesign #marketing #printingperth #australiawideshipping IMAGE: A section of an Australian playbill from 1796 for a performance of Jane Shore at Sydney showing the dedication and some of the cast.

An illustrator faces many challenges. One perhaps you've never thought about is how to create the rhythm of poetry in a picture. In this charming blog, illustrator Lesley Barnes talks us through her process for creating the illustrations for the gorgeous ‘The Folio Book of Children's Poetry’. She talks about how she wanted to take the visual language already in the poem a step further by creating a sense of movement. This illustration, for example, is designed to create a feeling of the skier zipping down the page as well as the mountain he's on in the poem. Barnes also used "pattern and repetition to make ‘visual poetry’" that includes repeating images of characters in different scenes for different poems and using illustrations of the season to convey the movement of time.

Earth Day is coming up next Monday, 22 April 2024. This year's theme is Planet vs Plastic, a cause close to our hearts. earthday.org is promoting a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040. They're asking all Australians to get involved at a local, national or personal level by taking one simple green action on the day. You can register Your Act of Green here, https://lnkd.in/dGyHvRj. We'd like to encourage you to plant a tree. "Carbon stored in Australia’s plantation forests increased from 137m tonnes in 2001 to 171m tonnes in 2010. This increase in carbon stock was caused by the continued expansion of Australia’s plantation estate, as well as the continued growth of plantations established since 1990." Australia’s State of the Forests Report 2013, Criterion 5. page 241 Australia's plantation forests that supply our paper is a growing industry that's also having a significant impact on our environment. Paper is Australia's most sustainable marketing product. https://lnkd.in/gkVQNvRF Glide Print.

With the need to reduce the use of plastics more urgent than ever, the recent development of paper pallet wrap is another good news item from the sector. Paper manufacturers have recently launched two completely plastic-free pallet wraps: one is a stretchy paper wrap (pictured) and the other an expanding paper wrap similar to existing paper packaging products. Given that Australia alone expects its pallet wrap market to expand to 1.3 times its current size from 2023 to 2032, this is great news for the planet. Paper. The most sustainable marketing product. #PrintWorksBest #palletwrap #sustainableproducts #sustainableliving #paperpackaging #ecofriendly #ecomarketing #perthsmallbusinesswoman #perthsmallbusiness #printservices #printperth IMAGE: A photo of a pallet of cardboard boxes being wrapped with a stretchy, non-plastic paper pallet wrap.

What is today's most effective marketing strategy? Knowing what's working best that your competitors haven’t caught onto yet. With our world continuing to change at such a rapid pace, what we used to think are the most effective forms of marketing and what consumers are saying they respond to aren’t lining up. Knowing what is working gives you a rare advantage. Research has revealed that traditional marketing channels are being overlooked. The most preferred marketing channels now are word of mouth, direct mail, and instore signage and multi-channel marketing is the most consistently successful marketing strategy. The results also show that the best multi-channel ROI occurs when you include print.

This wonderfully creative and clever book by The MET in New York holds so much more than its delightful pages. They wanted ‘The MET Experience’ to be highly interactive. It includes coasters, a postcard, a cross-stitch embroidery pack, a tea bag pouch with teabag, a balloon, and temporary tattoos all packaged in a matching, zip-opening box. As if that's not enough fun packed into one book, there's also a page printed in photochromatic ink that reveals more to the image when it's placed in the sun. The challenge for their Canadian printer was how to bind so many elements into a book to make it all work. They chose Chicago screw binding (also known as binding screws or post screws) to keep everything intact while still giving it a cohesive, clean look. See here for a larger image: https://lnkd.in/gmH6RizG.... See here for our free guide on the most common binding methods available. https://lnkd.in/g3Q7Ywrp...

Do you know how long the materials you’re using will still be around after you throw them away? While organic material can decompose in a matter of days, all other waste takes time. When you’re looking at your packaging and everyday use options, it’s important to know what can be recycled and also how long that material is going to take to break down once it’s been sent to landfill. See our list of 50 common items and how long they take to decompose. https://lnkd.in/gKDr-f-X Glide Print.
