Is it a bird, is it a bee? Nope, it’s Biodiversity!

This week in Swift Print we have been hard at work with another large order. The Identification Guide to Irelands Ladybirds is a stylish pocket sized guide for any wildlife enthusiast in Ireland and the UK. It’s got a handy breakdown of the ladybird’s life cycle, identification keys, size guides & rulers and the species ranges.

The Butterfly swatch that has earned Swift Print a place in the Irish Print Awards final for Finishing.

Today brought the excellent news for ourselves and Biodiversity Ireland; the ladybird swatch is a finalist in the Irish Print Awards! Our bespoke hand finished swatch has attracted national attention for the Print Finishing of the Year, sponsored by Neopost.

The National Biodiversity Data Centre are based at WIT’s Carriganore Campus.  Maria Walsh has sent in their Ladybird swatch design by Dave in Vitamin Studios to be printed and finished by us at Swift Print.   The full range of Irish Wildlife swatches are on sale on  http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/shop/

The Ladybird is the third species of Irish wildlife, after Butterflies and Bumblebees, to receive the luxury swatch treatment from us, and we will be working on The Identification Guide to Irelands Trees over the next few weeks.

It is one of the many exciting projects undertaken by Swift Print in association with National Biodiversity. Our work together includes flyers, notebooks, newsletters and magazines, and other information guides. The spiral bound Identification Guide to Irish Grasses is an A5 booklet that makes for interesting reading – I never knew there were so many types of grass!
