Palo Alto, Calif. – As the year winds down and creative teams start wrapping up projects (and presents), PaperSpecs is unboxing something truly special. The highly anticipated holiday edition of [unboxed] – the live, hands-on print design event – returns Dec. 4, 2025 to bring graphic designers a fresh burst of creativity and exclusive print inspiration – all without them having to leave their desks.

This festive hybrid experience combines a 3-hour virtual design experience with a limited-edition Print Sample Box that lands on attendees’ doorsteps just in time for some creative holiday magic.

Think of it as all the wonder of a live print design event – complete with hands-on samples and live speakers – but with no travel required.

No planes. No cars. No stress. Just pure creative joy.

During this [unboxed], designers will:

Celebrate the magic of holiday creativity with special guest Dora Drimalas. She’ll take attendees behind the scenes of the whimsical wonderland she and her Hybrid Design team created for Amazon’s 2024 Holiday Kids Gift Book and its spectacular 5th Avenue window displays.

Unwrap exclusive new print samples. Staying current with print design trends and materials can be tough without access to the latest swatchbooks and samples. That’s why each [unboxed] attendee receives a curated Print Sample Box filled with stunning pieces from industry leaders like Sappi, BindTech, Nobelus, Canon U.S.A., K Laser Technology, Fujifilm, BarkerBlue and swissQprint.

Preview next year’s hottest print design trends with insights from trend-watcher and “Paper Queen” Sabine Lenz, founder of PaperSpecs. It’s the perfect way for graphic designers to keep their creative energy glowing bright this winter season — all in an engaging, interactive environment that connects them with print industry leaders.

“As a first-time attendee, I thought the presentation was excellent. Ending with a designer guest speaker was a brilliant touch….Seeing someone bring their ideas to life and speak about the process was incredibly inspiring.”

-Edward Smith
