Slate Printing and Komori America collaborated to create a set of branded capacity folders that exemplify the artistry and value of print as a luxury medium. The project, executed on the Komori GL840P+C press, showcases meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship, transforming a simple marketing piece into a high-end, tactile experience.
The process began with the design phase, where the team conceptualized a product that would not only serve a functional purpose but also leave a lasting impression. The folders were printed on heavy cover stock, ensuring durability and a premium feel. The printing process itself was carried out on the Komori GL840P+C, a state-of-the-art press known for its precision and ability to handle complex print jobs with ease.
To elevate the folders further, a combination of embellishments was applied. A soft-touch finish was added to create a luxurious, velvety texture, while a UV coating was used to enhance the vibrancy of the colors and provide a protective layer. These finishes not only improved the aesthetic appeal but also added a tactile dimension that invites interaction.
The production process also included die-cutting, which ensured precise shapes and clean edges. Each folder was then carefully glued and assembled by hand, a labor-intensive step that underscores the commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Additionally, Velcro dots were hand-applied to the folders, adding a functional element that enhances their usability.
The result is a set of capacity folders that transcend their role as mere marketing tools. They are a testament to the power of print as a medium that can convey value, luxury, and attention to detail. The collaboration between Slate Printing and Komori America highlights the potential of combining advanced printing technology with skilled craftsmanship to create products that are both beautiful and functional.
This project serves as a reminder that print is not just about conveying information—it’s about creating an experience. The heavy cover stock, soft-touch and UV finishes, die-cutting, and hand assembly all contribute to a product that feels special and unique. It’s a celebration of print as an art form, where every detail matters and every step in the process is an opportunity to add value.
In a world increasingly dominated by digital media, this project stands out as a shining example of how print can still captivate and inspire. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of well-crafted, tangible objects that engage the senses and leave a lasting impression. The branded capacity folders are more than just a marketing piece—they are a statement of quality, craftsmanship, and the enduring power of print.
