Fetch Blog

A lot of work goes into our paper. But even more goes onto it. 

Paper's the blank canvas, the starting point. It's the creativity of the people with whom we work that brings it to life. The Fetch Blog is a little snap shot of that work. Here we show you our latest paper samplers, cool work our clients have done, KWD news including environmental updates, wild paper tales and any up and coming paper, design and print events. We'll be uploading new stuff every week so send us your best work.

Endless Possibilities

What is a horse doing with an ice cream on its head?
The same thing a kangaroo is doing with golf clubs. 

Meet Damien Weighill, an illustrator from the UK who teamed up with the creative bunch at Blast Design, to create a truly original (and somewhat wacky) collection of illustrations, ideas and interpretations.

Together with Conqueror paper, Damien has set about exploring the themes of communication, travel, finances, leisure and nature. This humourous pint sized book celebrates the vast range of high quality Conqueror papers, and the creative possibilities they offer designers.

Endless Possibilities is available from your K.W.Doggett Fine Paper representative. The full collection of illustrations can be downloaded from www.conquerorpossibilities.com

Making an Impact!

A bold promotional campaign showcasing our New Environmental Champion, Impact 100% recycled.  

The creative team of Thursday Design in Sydney were chosen to bring this bold paper to life. The brief was to create a robust personality and not become another clichéd environmental paper promotion. The ‘Impact’ promotion needed to stand alone but still be taken as a serious contender, in the growing environmental paper market.

The solution

The concept for the campaign was conceived after exploring words and phases which linked ‘Impact’ (and the papers environmental attributes) to the sport of boxing, for example, fighting for what you believe in / challenges faced / raw / standing for something / guard / light-weight through to heavy-weight / protect / undisputed champion. 

A photographer, Lee Valentine - was commissioned to document a dedicated young boxer preparing for his next professional fight. Hundreds of images were captured from the torturous training programme in Western Sydney. Stunning images were taken of the boxers sparring in temperatures regularly climbing over 40°c in the gym. 

The shoot climaxed after five weeks of training, when the young fighter in his sixth professional fight -successfully knocked out his opponent in under three rounds. The result provided the campaign with a visually striking conclusion.

The result

A 32 page photographic essay was offset printed, using five colours on four weights of Impact, including a large silver foiled 120gsm dust-jacket. The oversized proportion (240mm x 340mm) of the brochure enables the images to have maximum visual impact on the page, demonstrating the stocks superb ink holding qualities.  

The over-riding aim of the project was to promote the use of sustainable paper options and to show that recycled and carbon neutral papers can still deliver exceptional print results. 

Impact is made from 100% post consumer waste and is a carbon neutral product to K.W. Doggett Fine Paper warehouses nationally.

Mohawk - Manufacturing with 100% wind energy

Are you looking for new ways to meet the critical environmental challenges of our time? Appropriate paper choice is one small way you can show your commitment to our changing environment. 

In 2003, long before it became a buzz word Mohawk Paper began switching to renewable energy and by 2007 their entire production was made with non polluting, wind- generated electricty. This 100% commitment to a clean energy source meant the next step of manufacturing carbon nuetral papers was an easy one. In  2008 K.W.Doggett Fine Paper proudly re released the popular specialities Expression Super Smooth and Concept Vellum as made with an entirely Carbon Neutral production process. Making it easy for clients to choose a high quality uncoated paper whilst still delivering the highest environmental benefits. 

Many more manufactured carbon nuetral papers have since come onto the market however Mohawk's Expression and Concept are one of the few to claim being manufactured with 100% renewable energy. And we think keeping the footprint down in the first place surely makes better sense for the long term.  In fact Mohawk claim that by buying 100% wind energy for all their power requirements they are able to save the equivalent of 138 million miles not diriven by a passenger car in one year, or planting a 24,400 acre forest. 

And the best bit is by choosing a mohawk product from K.W.Doggett Fine Paper you are eligible to take credit on the back of your printed publication. To use one of the Mohawk Environmental Logos or to simply make an environmental product attribution statement please speak to your K.W.Doggett Fine Paper representative or email Catherine Doggett at cdoggett@kwdoggett.com.au
