Think about Christmas trees? ❌

Think about Christmas cards? ✅

Now is the time to get your designs for corporate or personalised Christmas cards completed and into print for December delivery.

Hold-in-your-hand cards still beat digital ‘file under forget about it’ e-cards. From boomers to zoomers, most people prefer them.

Our friends from (voila.net.nz) used Lenza Green 250gsm, part of our uncoated range. They chose it for its high whiteness and 100% recycled content – and of course, it can be recycled - again.😉

Talk to B&F about our card options for this Christmas.

Free magazine reads – they're still the best thing about doctors' waiting rooms!

Today in the UK is a day dedicated to the humble magazine.

60,000 free mags are being given to children because magazines are an easy 'gateway read,’ encouraging kids to read more, so they can learn, relax, and improved their futures in many ways.

What was your fave magazine as a kid?

In our community, family or workplace, we all seek belonging and connection - that’s why Belonging Matters is the theme of Mental Health Awareness Week, which starts today.

Our mental health is one of the most precious possessions we have, and there are things we can do to strengthen its resilience. draws our attention to some of these simple yet effective ideas.

The great thing about building our own sense of belonging is that it often requires other people - in building our own sense of belonging, we help others build theirs too.

Chek out the MHAW website for ideas that you can ideas for your workplace, schools or home.

Who knows, you might even start a habit that lasts a year.

Bulbs, candles, even colours can be bright – but paper?

Brightness is a common description of paper - not just as an adjective, but a technical measure between 1 and 100.

It refers to the % of light a sheet of paper reflects and it is measured by a light meter. The higher the rating, the more light the paper reflects.

That's important in printing - photographic materials and marketing collateral benefit from the sharpness, contrast and vibrancy of a high brightness paper (90+). For general office printing or text documents, lower brightness paper (80 – 90) may suffice.

Can’t kickstart the morning without coffee? Then today - International Coffee Day ( ) - is your day.

We particularly enjoy our brew with a good read, or while jotting down creative thoughts, and a great paper for both those things is Wheki Book. Its pristine print surface delivers clear print results, excellent readability and a smooth, fine feel. Being high-bulk also ensures it doesn’t feel flimsy.

That’s why it’s so popular in the international book and comic market, and why it makes for fabulous notebooks, like B&F’s own.

And unlike non-recyclable coffee cups, Wheki Book holds top environmental accreditations.

Coffee lovers know that this magic elixir is best enjoyed when it can be savoured, so today, get your favourite cup, bean, and book and relax in honour of Coffee.

Did you spring out of bed and remember to 'spring forward' this morning?

This morning at 2am was officially the time we entered summer timekeeping in Aotearoa, so don't forget to leave for work an hour earlier than you really want to tomorrow morning. We've got long, sunny days ahead to make the most of!

With or without daylight saving, you can rely on the B&F team to be at their posts in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, ready to help you with any paper needs you might have.

When it's time for a new recipe, our digital platforms just don't cut it.

There’s the endless ads to scroll through and sleeping screens to wake with messy fingers. Not to mention the difficulty in ever finding that fabulous recipe ever again...

Maybe that's why hard copy recipe books remain a consistently preferred choice, and are actually a growth area: https://bit.ly/3Uxu4YQ

Book lovers know that the appeal of a hard copy is its "physical presence, ease of use and sense of permanence"; when it comes to cooking, that tactile appeal "reflects the highly tactile activity of cooking."

If you're looking for gifts, a good recipe book will stand the test of time.

And if your dreams include the bestseller list, maybe it's time to get into the kitchen ;)

As New Zealanders we are blessed to have abundant trees, forests and bushland, many of which are unique to Aotearoa. They are worth protecting.

So too are our purposely planted forests, grown for timber and paper pulp, because well managed forests deliver commercial, environmental and social benefit.

This week is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Forest Week, a global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of effective, sustainable and responsible forest use and management for our climate, ecosystems and wellbeing, as well as our economies.

FSC oversees and certifies the responsible and sustainable management of forests and the timber taken from them. B&F is proud to be FSC certified and to stock an ever-growing range of FSC certified products.

FSC certification can be found on millions of products around the world, from toilet rolls and coffee cups to food packaging and furniture. This week, you too can show your commitment to sustainable forest management – shop FSC certified.

Ola! Today we're going Around the World to visit our suppliers in Spain, country of origin of our three Eurocalco carbonless copy papers and the Eurotak range of self-adhesive papers.

Spain has long had a love affair with paper and was one of the earliest paper-producing countries in Europe, learning the craft from the Islamic world. As the Renaissance took hold, the demand for books saw the Spanish paper and book making industries grow rapidly.

Today Spain produces millions of tonnes of paper and cardboard each year, and is the fifth biggest paper producer in Europe. Modern Spain's manufacturers centre on packaging, tissue and sanitary papers, and specialty papers, and has a strong focus on sustainable production; in fact, Spain is among the top paper recyclers in Europe.

You will see that commitment to sustainability reflected in both Eurocalco and Eurotak, which are all manufactured in line with key environmental and energy efficiency standards, as well as being certified Elemental Chlorine Free.

Today marks the beginning of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026. This year the challenge is upon us to bring te reo alive in our own towns and cities.
