SelfPackaging, our on-line shop for creative packaging, has obtained this year a bronze in the Laus Awards, in the cathegory of electronic commerce. We are so proud about this, and it encourages us to keep working hard, trying to innovate in shapes and also in ways to arrive to people.

One of our most recent initiatives has consisted in organize and manage the exhibition of packaging structures called Structural Packaging Show, commissioned by the Fira de Barcelona. Counting on its sponsorship, in addition to IndexBook and Roland, the show was a great success, within the Graphispag 2011 Fair and had a great international impact in Europe and South America, both in terms of creative artists and visitors. The success of the first edition of Structural Packaging Show encourages us to take new challenges and continue working for the most creative packagings from an international point of view.

On Saturday the 26th our experts in packaging, Laura, Mireia and Anna, together with Josep M ª Garrofé, gave a practical class, a workshop, within the framework of Selected Europe 2011. In it, and for more than four hours, the assistants received the basic notions to think and to develop a die-cut, in the most pleasant way.

To celebrate its 45th anniversary, Graphispag has invited 45 well-known designers, including us, to create a collection of posters reflecting the qualities and potential of graphic products and pay tribute to the values of printed communications. We have expressed our feelings about this issue in a mathematical way: 2011 (today) – 1440 (Guttenberg invented the movable type printing) = 571; 2011 + 571 = 2582. This is the minimum life expectancy we give to the printed way to communicate; because there’s no pleasure like turning a page to know what will we find after…

In 2010 we were here presenting our baby, SelfPackaging, and this year we came back, once more, to spend some time surrounded by the biggest professionals of the visual communication and accompanied by nice people, with another successful SelfPackaging workshop. We had a great time again!
