Wayzgoose On The Waverley

There's a fair bit of traffic flowing past our printworks. This grand lady is The Waverley, the world's last ocean-going paddle steamer. We snapped her as she passed at 7 minutes past 10 this morning on her last voyage of the summer season.

A trip on The Waverley was a favourite choice for the annual Wayzgoose of many of Glasgow's printing companies, as it offered all the components of a great day out; entertainment, refreshments, splendid surroundings, beautiful scenery and a convivial atmosphere.

It takes a hefty bit to maintain such a vessel as The Waverley, and she is in need of a bit of support to tide her over the winter months. So, along with Glasgow Press, you can keep her afloat by making a donation here and keep the printers happy for many long years to come.

Brand Spanking Pocapoc

How's this for a great idea from Pocapoc Creative? Order business cards in a thick 540gsm Colorplan board of Pistachio and Bright White. Get a big whack of them printed in ink to match the pistachio with a complementary colour of wild west logo featuring cowboy with lariat, ready to lasso plenty of clients, on the reverse.

Then take them home and set about them with your own personalised rubber stamps and ink pads.

Great fun and very effective. Brand spanking!

Hollywood Comes to Town

World War Z is being filmed in Glasgow this month with some of the action being shot next door to our printworks in The Big Shed.
One of the stars of the movie sauntered by to take a look at some of our letterpress print work. He was very impressed, as was our devil, who looks well chuffed. Awright, big man.

Diane Robertson; d r d

Always nice to print a set - in this case, business card and compliment slip for London based designer, Diane Robertson. drd's creative approach offers a fresh, professional look that will help a company stand out above its competitors.

Rosemary Carr; Good to Know

 It's the fine detail that makes this business card for Rosemary Carr outstanding. Design is by Taxi Studio and paper from GF Smith.
