Taylor Box Email Heater
January, 2012


Greetings!

 

This month's featured package is a slipcase for the Powell's Books Indiespensable Subscription Club. Portland, Oregon-based Powell's Books has 5 storefront locations and one of the book world's most successful dot coms.

 

Indiespensable Club delivers the best new books, with special attention to independent publishers. Every 6 weeks a new installment is released which can include signed first editions, inventive original sets and exclusive printings.

 

Powell's Books has worked exclusively with  

Taylor Box to add value to their installments with custom-designed and produced slipcases.

 

This slipcase was designed by Lenore Ooyevaar of Powell's Books based on original artwork by Anne Winslow.

Construction Details

 

This slipcase is made with .060 chipboard and wrapped in Arrestox coated cloth. The slipcase is made with a 2-piece board construction and 1-piece wrap.

 

Many of Powell's previous slipcases included foil stamping but this design called for very heavy coverage. Taylor recommended silk screening the design to avoid the challenges inherent in foil stamping large areas.  The result is an accurate reproduction of the original artwork and a striking visual.

 

Depending on the release date of the book and the location of the publisher, Taylor Box handles the fulfillment of the books into the case, shrink wrapping each unit and delivering completed sets to Powell's distribution facility.
