mcgrid presentation update 2013

Traditional print with digital interactivity

D E S I G N N O T E B O O K S

Writing, sketching?We are living in a digital world and yet ... we noticed that people still like to write or sketch. In different meetings we saw a lot of people using notebooks, sketchbooks and even sheets of paper.

The idea of creating a notebook was found. Not just an ordinary one (read: cheap) but a high quality book with a nice design, smooth quality paper ... and with an online interactivity.


And this is McGrid!Yes, it looks like a book.And it’s ideal for writing or drawing.It even looks nice on your desk.Anyway, it’s NOT digital for a change.Stuffed with high quality paper (160 pages!). And filled with a grid of your choice.Or blanco ...Designed and produced in Belgium.

3 sales-channels1. McGrid-Corporate= tailor made books for companiesLaunch end 2012

McGrid-CorporateIn December 2012, we launched the McGrid-Corporate. Tailor made with your company colours, 160 pages with an extra of 4 pages with yourcorporate info and individually packed in a box. Starting from 50 pcs.Ideal as business gift or marketing-tool.


McGrid-IndividualWe want people to compose their own sketch-book online: choosing colours, choosing grids (lines, squares, pixels, ...) and order just 1 piece. That’s the main idea for the McGrid-Individual.
