New Treasure Box. New Packaging. New Covers. New Books. New Pages. We’re rolling out a series of major product updates, so let’s get straight to it!

For an overview, please click through to the What's New page on queensberry.com. There’s something for everyone to love, and you’ll find lots of photos. Our new price lists will be uploaded on Monday. As you'll see, we’ve made big changes to our covers and packaging, but the really big news is about Q Books and Flushmount Albums, of which more below. We expect to be taking orders by early February, but many of the items remain on pre-release until then.

SPECIAL OFFERS

1. Once we launch we’ll have some juicy introductory specials to get the new products rolling. Watch this space.

2. It’s now Trade Show season, and our annual 50% discount on studio samples has begun. It will only run through until after WPPI, so don't miss out! (NB: samples will be embossed "Not For Resale".)

3. If you’re new, our Starter Kits are also discounted by 25% during Trade Show season. They feature the new Treasure Box, and entitle you to three sample albums at 50% off (conditions apply). The Treasure Box is also available for separate order.

NEW PANORAMA FLUSHMOUNTS

We're offering our new Panorama Flushmounts beautifully printed with either inkjet or traditional silver halide technology. Prints in the new albums will be creased, not cut, at the spine. We’re also offering a new “medium" page weight that will allow you to add more pages to the album.

The new Panorama Flushmounts may not be for everyone, so you can still order our old style flushmounts as a “Classic” legacy option. If you want the prints cut at the spine, like your existing sample, or 6-colour offset printing, that’s what you’ll need to specify.

NEW Q BOOKS

We’ve renamed our press books “Q-Books”. As well as five gorgeous paper stocks, you can now choose between light, medium and heavy pages - more on this below. We’ve also improved Q Book construction. They’re now made with a brand new lay-flat binding technology that will enhance the viewing experience.

WHY DIFFERENT PAGE WEIGHTS?

In the past you could only order Q Books with up to 75 light pages (150 sides). Now the maximums become 75, 45 and 30 with light, medium and heavy-weight pages respectively. We think many people will choose the new heavier stocks even if the maximums aren’t a problem, simply because they’re so much more substantial and luxurious.

Our albums currently have a maximum of 30 pages (60 sides), but you can now increase that to 45 pages with medium-weight Panorama Flushmount pages. Because of the multi-layer nature of their construction we cannot do the same with matted albums, so the 30-page limit remains.

That's a lot to take in, so please check out our What's New page, and get in touch with the support team with your questions. They're standing by for your call!

Cheers, Ian
