Travelista: a shop’s own-brand collection

Travelista wanted a stationery collection that felt unmistakably its own, ready to sit alongside the other gifts in its shop.

The Avorium approach

Avorium A5 notebooks in a palette of pinks, lilac, coral and red, foil-printed in gold in our York workshop — from the Travelista name to travel-journal titles, artwork and customers’ initials.

Case study 02 · Concept stores · Example brief

Create your own collection: a film-quote range

A concept store or brand wants its own collection: notebooks in every colourway, each foiled with a different well-loved film quote, sold as a set on its shelves.

The Avorium approach

Our foiling machine is driven by digital software, so there is no need to make a new metal stamp for every design as many other printers must. That means we can foil lots of different designs in a single order at low cost — a different quote, illustration or name on every cover. It makes Avorium ideal for building a whole collection of many designs at once. (Any quotations or artwork must be cleared for commercial use.)

Case study 03 · Corporate & events

Welcome packs, conferences and events

Universities, banks, venues and professional firms use Avorium stationery to welcome a new cohort, or as promotional gifts at conferences and events.

The Avorium approach

A coordinated set of notebooks, refillable folios and vegan leather mousepads, foil-printed with the organisation’s logo in our York workshop. Individual names can make each welcome feel personal; event titles and dates turn a notebook into a keepsake.

The Elmbank Hotel, York: bespoke leather pieces

The Elmbank Hotel in York (Tapestry Collection by Hilton) wanted branded pieces for its bar and restaurant that went beyond our standard catalogue.

The Avorium approach

We designed and manufactured bespoke leather coasters with matching holders, bill holders and room service tray liners, each foil-printed in gold with the Elmbank logo in our York workshop. If you need something outside our catalogue, send us a bespoke enquiry and we will talk it through.
