PRO MEMBERSHIP – Created By designers, For designers
You don’t print all the time. But when you do, it matters.
Working in print today can feel like you’re trapped on a lonely island – suppliers aren’t dropping by with swatchbooks, vendors keep saying what can’t be done, and you’re stuck hunting for inspiration while working in a vacuum.
PRO Membership is the solution you’ve been looking for.
Join a connected community of print lovers who get it – and get year-round access to hard-to-find swatchbooks and samples, practical expert support, and events that turn ideas into client-wowing work.

PRO Membership Is For You If…
-
- You’re a passionate graphic designer who wants to know exactly how to uplevel any print project, no matter how tight the budget or how short the print run.
- You are a curious graphic designer who is looking to always be in the know on what is new, trending and possible in print, without spending hours in the black hole of google.
- You’re a graphic designer who confidently pushes the creative envelope, embracing new papers and print technologies.
When a paper rep asks me where I got this sample, I know I’m on the cutting edge. PRO membership is such a great resource and it helps me to expand my knowledge. It allows me to expand on what I can create.

The Live [unboxed] event was extremely insightful and pulled together a broad group of people which, for independent designers who may not have much of a network to begin with, is very helpful.

Membership Doors Close Again In

Hi, I’m Sabine.
I’m an award-winning graphic designer with 20+ years of experience working in Germany, Australia, and the US. I’m passionate about paper, print—and of course, great design—and I love sharing that passion with fellow designers and brand owners.
Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand the gap between what we learn about paper and print, and what’s actually possible today with the latest materials and technologies.
That’s why I created the PRO membership:
The PRO membership is the kind of resource and community I wish I’d had throughout my design career.
—a place where you can hang out with like-minded creatives, ask questions, get tips and insights, and access the latest swatchbooks and print promotions.
If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of print and feel more confident with every project, PRO was made for you.
