NEW YORK – Up With Paper, the world’s leading marketer of innovative three dimensional greeting cards, demonstrated new designs and merchandising concepts for its growing line of UWP Luxe stationery items at the National Stationery Show (NSS) today. The line, which features three unique formats of high-end pop-up stationery—Boxed Notes, Desktop Notes, and Sticky Note Portfolios—may now be merchandised in matching sets across seven different designs.
The Desktop Notes format won the coveted Best New Products – Luxury and Best New Products – Best in Show awards at the 2012 NSS, and is now available in 12 different designs, seven of which are also depicted on the Boxed Notes and Sticky Note Portfolios formats. With exquisite designs, innovative pop-ups, and the highest paper and production quality, the UWP Luxe line is dedicated to providing sophisticated consumers the most fashionable way to communicate—with themselves and others.
Up With Paper is dedicating a portion of its booth during the NSS to demonstrate merchandising techniques that pull together the matching designs in the UWP Luxe formats, including blue butterflies, terrarium, dragonflies, roosters, and three floral options. Items in each design set are sold separately, and make a powerful statement at retail.
