Another Sappi success! Last night, the Olmsted-Kirk Dallas crew attended the Sappi launch party held at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. This event was part of a ten city tour in celebration of the release of “The Standard 5: Special Effects”.  In lieu of a paid ticket, each attendee was asked to give a $10 direct donation to the 826 National Organization. The 826 Organization is a network of eight non-profit writing and tutoring groups across the U.S. dedicated to assisting students, age 6-18, to strengthen their creative writing skills. Cocktails, h’ors doeuvres and a plethora of Sappi goodies were given along with a truly memorable presentation. As a bonus, each attendee received an advanced copy of The Standard 5: Special Effects. Volume 5 of The Standard shows designers how the creative use of special effects can make a printed piece dimensional, tactile, intriguing and sometimes interactive. Believe us, the “effects” inside are truly unbelievable! More details coming soon...

The holidays are in full swing! And papercrafts are a wonderful way to celebrate the season. Why not add to your holiday décor? We're seeing gorgeous holiday, brown paper bags from stores around town. Recycle them to create these paper stockings or use a fresh sheet of paper. Check out these links to other holiday papercraft ideas.  Any of these would be amazing on one of our colored stocks from Neenah, Reich, or French Paper. Happy Holidays!

On Wednesday, June 8^th, a group of select mill trip first-timers and veterans joined us on our pilgrimage to Domtar's Ashdown Mill located just outside of Texarkana, Texas.

Each attendee left Ashdown with first hand knowledge of the complex inner-workings of an uncoated paper mill and the complete paper production process - from the initial tree to final packaged product. We took in  the jaw-dropping 90 degree suspension of eighteen wheelers for woodchip depository, to the transformation of tiny pulp fragments into thousand pound paper rolls—the experience was absolutely mind-blowing!

Of course our mill experience wouldn’t be complete without the perks. The group enjoyed golfing, fishing, chef prepared meals, souvenirs and remarkable peer camaraderie. We were so fortunate to have an extraordinary group of creative talent and paper enthusiasts along for the ride! Thank you to everyone. Each of you made this trip truly unforgettable.

O-K Paper took a gamble & won! The 2011 DSVC Dallas Show was Saturday, June 4th, at the Dallas Contemporary. We came for the awards, but stayed for the casino fundraiser, creative company, and stunning work created by local designers. Congratulations to all participants and medal winners! But that's not all! We won an award! O-K Dallas accepted the bronze medal in the Self-promotion Category for the iSee Carnival through the Lens of the iPhone printed promotion.
