Drinks Coasters

Over the past year we have produced for our clients over 20,000 drinks coasters.

During what feels like more and more difficult trading conditions we have noticed brands are opting to add extra streams of income to their ranges with coasters coming out top for value, as along with greeting cards they are still proving to be a great source of income. Relatively cheap production costs  (around 50p) and retailing in shops for around £3 per unit these are proving very popular gifts for customers.

If you are interested producing coasters drop us a line info@inkysolutions.com

So with the new year already here and with spring trade shows imminent it's a great time plan your strategy for wholesalers. So do drop us a line if you need us to help?

Greetings cards & Merchandise

Over the past year or so we decided to offer a new core service "Brand Merchandise Management."  

After extensive market research and trials  (we even created our very own brand
  "They Draw Horses Don't They?"   to help us do this) we finally rolled out the service. We ironed out any issues and ensured we had in place many great suppliers and products ready for our clients.  
As a result we have already managed to attract some great brands. This year we have produced and shipped direct to retailers over 150,000 greetings cards 10,000+ calendars 12,000 drinks coasters, 1000's of mugs, toy samples, pencil cases and many other items. So if you think you have a commercially viable brand get in touch today for chat.

Greetings cards.

A New Brand is Born!




On a wet windy Thursday night we finally launched our horse based brand!
We had a fantastic turn out at the Latest Music Bar in Brighton with people coming from all over the country to see and buy the great art and to be entertained and some say educated. 

We had a live screen printing show care of the fantastic http://theprivatepress.org/  whom printed a wonderful Nishant Choksi horse onto paper we sourced made from horse poo:) Now a lesser unprofessional type could easily drop in a really bad pun about the paper being Manurefactured for the event! but not us we're pros with a serious message! well, anyway, we also had the very talented Paul Collicutt who supplied us with an illustrated horse for us all to contribute to. But it was so good that most artists didn't want to touch. Well until they had had a few beers at least:) Cartoonist Leon Edler was busy doing caricatures of people as horses! But the night was capped off by award winning comedy writer and cartoonist Harry Venning who treated us to his very very funny "Release your inner cartoonist" workshop.

We would like to thank all the wonderful artists who contributed to the they draw horses brand. 
We plan to continue to add to it and have some great plans in the pipeline and hope to have many products and greetings cards in various stores by next year (fingers crossed) 
but If you can't wait until then we have an online store http://theydrawhorses.bigcartel.com/

Visit us upstairs at Circus Circus Brighton Thursdays 9th October 7pm - 10pm for a night of Horsing around!
