Imago and Editions Playbac have been working together in the French market for several years now, but this year the partnership has become a truly global one, with international travel very much on the menu!
THAILAND:During July, Imago Singapore accompanied Marie-France Wolfsperger (head of Production at Editions PlayBac) for a press-check on a key title for their 2010 end of year campaign.
Not the first press-check overseas for Marie-France by any means, but this was her first visit to Thailand, and to our printing partner there.

The press check was critical as the project featured a heavily inked cover printing on a metallised paper, which is rather a specialised printing job. She was accompanied at every stage of the process, by Imago and the factory owners:
“It was fantastic; I got a warm welcome from everybody there, whether it was with the staff at Imago or the printers, everyone has been really friendly and professional.” MFW.

Marie-France found the factory impressive - clean, organised, rigorous and the staff welcoming and meticulous, and was particularly grateful to Desmond from Imago Singapore for taking care of her so well.

Of course it would have been a shame not to have fitted in some sightseeing, so Marie-France was also accompanied to some of the more famous Bangkok sights – and even caught sight of one of Thailand’s famous Tuk-tuks. Apart from a frightening encounter with a snake at an evening restaurant, the trip was a real success, and Marie-France described the finished product as “beautiful”!
