Top stationery brands Sheaffer, Letts Filofax, Faber-Castell and uni-ball have signed up as Official Partners for the next National Stationery Week, which runs from 22-28 April 2012.
It follows the success of this year’s National Stationery Day which resulted in extensive coverage on Facebook and Twitter, in the national, consumer and trade press, on radio, blogs and websites worldwide and extra sales for retailers.
One of the aims of National Stationery Week is to encourage more people, and especially children to put pen to paper. “Handwriting is enjoying a revival and is far from being the lost art some would have us believe” says organiser Chris Leonard-Morgan.
“It still matters, and is more important than ever in today’s digital age. It’s why ‘Get Britain Writing’ has been adopted as the theme for National Stationery Week. Britain is a nation of stationery lovers, and design-led notebooks and pens are the new must-have fashion accessory.”
National Stationery Week is organised by the London Stationery Show which takes place at the Business Design Centre on 23-24 April 2013.
