Blake’s latest hub of excellence is situated within The Postal Museum in Clerkenwell, the heart of London’s design community
Postal packaging experts Blake have recently opened their fourth “hub of excellence” at The Postal Museum headquarters in London.
Blake has been developing the exciting concept of opening “Hubs of Excellence” in a number of strategic locations across the UK since 2016. The principal aim of the hubs is to provide experts in the field of envelopes and postal packaging, in key locations across the UK and the Postal Museum in Clerkenwell was a perfect choice for a London site.
The latest hub will provide graphic designers, marketing professionals and businesses with a centralised place to discuss their specific requirements. An expert will be on hand to help people understand the thousands of options available for any postal packaging need including specific inspiration for direct mail campaigns and bespoke packaging.
‘To collaborate with The Postal Museum in this way is truly exciting – the marriage of envelopes and stamps is a natural one but the history of the postal system combined with our expertise in envelopes and packaging will make for some really wonderful possibilities,’ commented Michael Barter, Blake’s managing director.
‘In Blake we will be joining forces with a partner that shares our values, that wants to reconnect people with the excitement of postal communication and demonstrate its relevance in a digital age,’ said Dr Adrian Steel, director at The Postal Museum. ‘I am very much looking forward to a successful partnership over the coming months and years.’
