Palo Alto, Calif. – Registration is closing soon for PaperSpecs [unboxed], the highly anticipated hybrid print design event that pairs exclusive insider talks with a limited-edition box of real-world inspiration—delivered directly to attendees’ desks.

One highlight of this live, 3-hour online session – taking place December 4, 2025 – will be a preview of the print design trends that will dominate the coming year.

From stunning finishing techniques to exquisite papers, Trend Watcher and PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz will not only show designers which design trends will prevail in 2026, but also how to use them to make their own work the best it can be.

Attendees will also receive a curated Print Sample Box brimming with print pieces that use some of these very same techniques.

With registration closing November 20th, time is running out to secure a spot—and the box.

“I learned so much and saw real samples that I normally would not have access to.”
-Anne Marie Mascia, Creative Director
Highlights of the December [unboxed] include:

Creative Insights from Dora Drimalas
This edition’s featured guest is Dora Drimalas, co-founder of Hybrid Design. She will take attendees behind the scenes of the whimsical world she and her team created for Amazon’s Holiday Kids Gift Book, including its iconic 5th Avenue window displays.

A Box Full of Print Innovation
Each sample box includes exclusive print pieces contributed by leading industry innovators.

2026 Trend Forecast with Sabine Lenz
The founder of PaperSpecs will share key insights on what’s next in paper, print, and packaging—helping designers plan ahead for 2026 with clarity and confidence.

Whether working independently or as part of a small team, designers often lack the tactile inspiration and expert connection that fuel their creativity. [unboxed] delivers all of that in one interactive, hands-on experience—without the need for travel.
