Collect your Class of 70' NSS Cards
We are gearing up to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the National Stationery Show with Sarah Schwartz from The Paper Chronicles and Stationery Trends, Jill DiNicolantonio from Parse and Parcel and NSS. We've been working wtih 30 exhibitors to create a trading card pack on a variety of papers distributed by Legion and we couldn't be more excited to share the complete set.
Attending NSS? Here's the deal...
Collect the trading card from each participating exhibitor. Once you've collected all 30, bring them to Legion's booth to stash your cards in a match box beautifully designed by Reyn Paper Co and printed by Henry + Co.
The National Stationery Show Class of 70'!
We would like to commemorate the National Stationery Show celebrating 70 years by inviting all exhibitors to be part of the 2016 project- 1970s Baseball Trading Cards! Teaming up with Sarah Schwartz from The Paper Chronicles and Stationery Trends, and NSS, we are very excited to announce this new project for exhibitors at the show.
Here’s the scoop: NSS is celebrating 70 years in 2016, and to celebrate it, Legion is taking on a trading card pack, each celebrating a specific exhibitor, to be a part of our Class of ’70. Exhibitors will give them out at their booths, while we will be giving out a special container to hold it all together. Far out!
The concept take a design cue from trading and baseball cards from the ’70s. To see some inspiration, check out this fun Pinterest board — but honestly, we are hoping each vendor uses the concept to express themselves however they see fit.
Choose from over 3,000 papers from dozens of mills and brands using any printing method (letterpress, engraving, foil, digital). Why not go crazy and try something new to experiment with? Need help deciding? We are here to help!
Apply here by January 31st. Remember, you have to be a confirmed exhibitor. All submissions will be reviewed by Sarah Schwartz, NSS's own Patti Stracher, Legion Paper, Jill DiNicolantonio from Parse and Parcel, and of course Legion.
This is a great opportunity to get your name (and brilliance) in front of attendees. Prior to the show, and each of the vendors featured will be highlighted in Sarah Schwartz's Stationery trends presentation, slated for 9 am on May 15.
National Stationery Show Scavenger Hunt Kicks off Tomorrow!
The National Stationery Show begins tomorrow, May 17th. Stop by any of the exhibiting booths for a checklist to begin the search! Once you have successfully visited and collected the designers post cards, head over to the Legion booth (#2774) to stash your cards away and collect the post cards of the participants that couldn't make it to the show this year.
