COLOP at Creativeworld
COLOP inspires with creative innovations at Creativeworld 2025
The Austrian stamp manufacturer COLOP presented itself at this year's Creativeworld in Frankfurt, the leading international trade fair for hobby, craft and art supplies, with an impressive and inviting stand concept that exuded holiday and beach flair. From the 7th to the 10th of February 2025, COLOP presented numerous innovative products that stood out for their creativity and versatility.
Expansion of the MARKY product line - practical solutions for families
The successful ‘MARKY’ range, aimed primarily at families, was expanded at the beginning of the year with new innovative products. In addition to the tried and tested MARKY textile stamp, which is ideal for labelling children's items such as clothes, shoes or school supplies, the product line now also includes emergency wristbands for children. The colourful wristbands come as a set with a pen and can be used to write down contact details such as name and telephone number. They offer parents and children added safety when travelling, at parties or events, and are also fun to wear thanks to their child-friendly design.
Also new are the graphically appealing textile labels, which can be easily stamped with the MARKY textile stamp and permanently attached to textiles by ironing them on. They are a practical and attractive solution for labelling clothes. The range is rounded off with pencil cases in three creative designs that perfectly match the MARKY stamps, making them an ideal addition to everyday school life.
Craft Labeler - a must-have for the DIY community
COLOP is targeting the growing DIY community with the introduction of the Craft Labeler. The new textile stamp set has been specially developed for the haberdashery market and consists of two type sets with letters, numbers and many useful pictograms as well as 20 high-quality, pre-punched textile labels that can be individually stamped and sewn in. ‘With the Craft Labeler, we have our finger on the pulse of the times and offer DIY fans a tool that perfectly combines creativity and functionality,’ says Christoph Skopek, Managing Director of COLOP. For frequent users, COLOP offers practical refill sets with additional textile labels.
Creative collaboration with Princess Maja of Hohenzollern
A special highlight was the collaboration with Princess Maja von Hohenzollern. The internationally renowned and multi-award-winning designer and animal rights activist worked with COLOP to develop three exclusive product lines for different target groups. The Stamp Stories with sustainable cork stamps tell a lovingly illustrated story written especially for children. In it, Princess Maja addresses the topic of animal love and animal welfare in a child-friendly way. A tattoo stamp set for animal lovers and a charming office stamp set for all ‘office princesses’ were also presented.
Wax stamp sets - setting stylish accents
In addition to the themed highlights, COLOP presented stylish wax stamp sets. The high-quality sets are ideal for craft and creative fans who want to add a personal and stylish touch to letters or documents. Whether for designing unique wedding invitations or greeting cards, the wax stamp sets open up countless possibilities.
COLOP Stamp Cleaner - perfect cleaning for clear imprints
Last but not least, the COLOP Stamp Cleaner was presented at the trade fair, offering a perfect solution for all those who work with different ink pads in different colours. It is important to clean the text plate before changing colours in order to avoid colour mixing and unsightly imprints. The new COLOP Stamp Cleaner is ideal for laser rubber and polymer text plates and works with both water and oil-based stamping inks. Supplied in a practical 100 ml spray bottle, the cleaner is easy to use and ensures clear and professional stamp imprints every time.
Successful trade fair appearance
‘Our aim was to impress visitors with a fresh and inspiring stand and to demonstrate the versatility of our creative products. This successful mix made the trade fair appearance a great success,’ explains Jacques Ahn, Key Account Manager and part of the COLOP creative team. At Creativeworld 2025, the Austrian stamp manufacturer once again presented itself as an innovation leader and set new standards in the industry.
