Palo Alto, Calif. – To maintain their competitive edge, graphic designers and brand owners with a passion for print will have the opportunity to see – and feel – the latest trends and cutting-edge techniques when the PaperSpecs [unboxed] virtual “mini design conference” returns Sept. 14th with a whole new selection of print samples sent to their door in time for this unique online event.

During [unboxed], designers will have the chance to:

Catch up on this year’s hottest print design trends. The world of graphic design is forever changing, and designers must show their clients that they know what’s hot, new and trending. During [unboxed], trend-watcher and PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz will reveal the printing and finishing techniques that are currently driving the industry!

Discover how award-winning branding firm Mucca tackled one of the most ambitious design projects in New York City history. How do you even begin to brand a 53,000-square-foot culinary destination consisting of 3 markets, 12 restaurants, 4 bars, and including 153 signs and 400-plus unique SKUs? Special guest Matteo Bologna, president/Creative Director of Mucca, will take attendees behind the scenes of this 3 year odyssey, in which the studio transformed a former fish market into the Tin Building – a sophisticated food hall & marketplace.

Get their hands on today’s hottest new print samples. It’s hard to keep up with trends and technologies when you don’t have access to the latest print and paper samples. That’s why PaperSpecs [unboxed] attendees will receive an exclusive Print Sample Box packed with inspiring pieces from industry leaders, including Canon Solutions America, Sappi, Sylvamo, Nekoosa, Fujifilm, Rolland Papers, Red Paper Plane and Corporate Image!

Have their questions answered by industry experts. From digital printing to new papers, dimensional mailers and more, graphic designers will be able to seek advice from industry leaders who will show them how to supercharge their own print projects and create compelling pieces!

“Even though in-person events have returned, they only take place in big cities,” explains PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz. “Not only does [unboxed] bring ALL designers the latest printing, finishing and paper trends in one 3-hour experience, but our guest speaker – as well as the samples attendees receive in their Print Sample Boxes – will remind them why they fell in love with print in the first place. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

"Wow.. Wow.. no, WOW! PaperSpecs [unboxed] was eye-opening and encouraging! This [event] was very insightful to me. My focus in print is constantly circling the end steps and finishing. Additionally, going through samples visually is one thing. Opening a box and touching the samples made the PaperSpecs event stand out! I soaked everything in like a sponge! Thank you!"
