The Paper Show: The place in town where people go to get hip with paper.

The 2018 Lindenmeyr Munroe Paper Show Invite from Art Groll (featuring Art!)

One of our favorite annual events to go to (especially our Art Director, Nina) is the Lindenmeyr Munroe Paper Show. This year it was held at the Heniz Field/UPMC Lounge with dozens of Paper vendors from Pittsburgh as well as across the US – with paper companies like Neenah, Mohawk, Sappi, even Lindenmeyr Munroe’s own, the show has a plethora of samples to look at (and grab)!

We love to going each year to the Show to bring back a couple bag’s worth of samples to share with our clients for new and unique ideas. Being able to see and feel paper samples in person is the best way to design. And, with many of the vendors detailed samples, you can a realistic look at how a print piece will actually produce!

While we didn’t have a chance to see and grab all the print samples, we do have a ton of new and great pieces! Check out the 14 photos below and get excited for print!

1. All of our brand new samples!

12. Secret Messages from Sappi? Spot varnish + reticulating varnish + gloss sample coating + soft touch coating = a unique piece!

13. Sappi’s mailer is perfect for someone looking to get their company noticed. Look at that stunning foil (plus, it has soft touch!)

14. Every inch of black is soft touch – definitely getting noticed when you get it in the mail, especially with bright colors and foils. You’ve gotta see this in person – especially when you open the brochure up!
