giftfocus 107 spring fair preview ENVELOPES LTD Stand: 3X10 W: envelopes.co.uk Set up 20 years ago, Envelopes LTD has grown from a small home business into the industry’s leading stockist of postal packaging products, with the biggest stock range in the world. The company has two large sites in Loudwater, Bucks, and Newark, Nottinghamshire, from where it manufactures, overprints and distributes packaging solutions to a worldwide customer base. Postal packaging, stationery and envelopes can be used to express a business’ personality. Envelopes LTD offers high- impact, luxury items of postal packaging, raising the bar from flimsy and lightweight mail. The company carries an enormously varied portfolio of products and is the UK’s largest supplier of items such as board-backed envelopes. Envelopes LTD also carries bubble bags of all colours, materials and finishes, coloured envelopes, string and washer envelopes in a variety of shades and sizes and a bespoke service. This incredible portfolio of products, combined with keen pricing and no minimum order on most stocked items, offers customers unrivalled choice. The bespoke service is carried out in-house with on-site Litho overprint facilities from one-to four-colour process jobs and with UV drying facilities, printing on commercial envelopes and heavy- duty products such as board backs, and all-board and capacity (gusset) envelopes. The site also uses converting equipment for special size jobs. Envelopes LTD recently increased its printing capabilities and now offers in-house digital printing. This enables the company to print on to a wider range of envelopes and packing materials, including bubble bags, box mailers, book wraps, pillow boxes, string and washer envelopes and more. TILNAR ART Stand: 4F01 W: tilnarart.co.uk Tilnar Art has had a brilliant 2018 and is proud to continue supplying the Azeti collection and continues to work with talented wildlife watercolour artist Meg Hawkins. The Meg Hawkins collection combines Azeti’s signature range of Fairtrade, recycled and food-safe aluminium bowls, coasters and dishes with her stunning wildlife paintings. All items are made to the highest quality and are individually boxed. Meg is an award-winning British watercolour artist who works from her studio in Shropshire and sells her work all over the world. Her distinctive style reflects the movement and energy of her subjects. By blending colour and method, Meg has become known and loved for her emotive and joyous range of work. Tilnar Art is proud to have won its first award for Best New Product in the Home, Gift & Clothing Category at Glee 2018 for the Meg Hawkins recycled aluminium collection, beating off stiff competition. The judges commented on the range’s fantastic eco-friendly credentials, its beautiful packaging and British Artwork Designs. Tom Hawes, managing director of Tilnar Art, commented: “We are thrilled that this handmade and recycled new range, which has had such a positive launch with retailers, was recognised by the judges. We are confident that with its quality gift boxing and stunning designs that this range will be a huge success for our retailers.” Tilnar Art is continually looking for new and exciting products to keep its collections fresh. To this end, it is launching additions to the Meg Hawkins and Azeti collections with fresh images and designs. Further, there will be new and beautiful carvings in the Soapstone collection on show at Spring Fair.
