Good quality card

[Triumph Man]

Gents,

I'm spearheading an office expansion into the Devon area, and as part of that I'm creating a simple leaflet/booklet.

What I really want for them is some good quality card, with a nice smell (not the scented kind, the smell you get from a good promotional book, or a special edition of EVO or something). I can't seem to find anything, and the lady in the office who orders our stationery doesn't know either.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

The smells probably as much the ink/print as the card/paper tbh.

When we made our wedding invitations we just shopped around till we found the paper and card we wanted, there's tons of choice out there, if you can imagine it someone will be making it.

I just googled to see if you could get bespoke “scratch ‘n sniff” for a laugh, it seems you can

Just to add to my comment, having received similar things in the past and been involved with various similar gifting/promotional situations, most people receiving booklets/flyers/documentation just bin it as soon as the events over, so spending money on it is a very short term buzz. It's old and corny (but does work) but the thing that sticks with people is a good memory or a good freebie, be it a pen and notepaper with logo, a clipboard that can be repurposed, calculators a good one if you can integrate needing it in to a presentation, everyone has one on their desk and it isn't something that wears out. Do avoid putting branding on tat, I've had some completely rubbish freebies from pens that don't work from new or write horribly, penknives that feel cheap and nasty, really really cheap stationary, it all gives a negative feel. But I've still got some notepads and pens from companies that got it right, still have some keyrings, some clothing items too (a tie or winter hat can work depending on the business).

One gift that does stick in my mind though was the free box with a DIY kitchen, in it from memory was a booklet about Yorkshire, some Yorkshire tea and a free flapjack. Now the flapjack was bloody horrible, but the tea was good and the book was quite nice for a few mins (still ended up in the bin) but if the office is a relocation then something similar could work, likewise if it's a new office and the staff will be coming to head office then a welcome to the family type thing might work.

Just some ideas.

The smell is the ink, but if you are only ordering small quantities they will be printed digitally and digital ink/toner doesn't have the smell you are after! Having said that it's only big box fulls which will smell. One card won't so don't get too bogged down in it.
