Hereby you'll find our new project McGrid. McGrid is a range of high quality notebooks. We launched McGrid-Corporate in December 2012. Now we are going to work on a permanent collection and McGrid-Individual.

with digital interactivity

Writing,
sketching?
We are living in a digital world and yet ...
we noticed that people still like to write or sketch.
In different meetings we saw a lot of people using
notebooks, sketchbooks and even sheets of paper.
The idea of creating a notebook was found.
Not just an ordinary one (read: cheap) but a
high quality book with a nice design, smooth
quality paper ... and with an online interactivity.

3. D E S I G N N O T E B O O K S
And this is
McGrid!
Yes, it looks like a book.
And it’s ideal for writing or drawing.
It even looks nice on your desk.
Anyway, it’s NOT digital for a change.
Stuffed with high quality paper (160 pages!).
And filled with a grid of your choice.
Or blanco ...
Designed and produced in Belgium.

McGrid-Corporate
In December 2012, we launched the
McGrid-Corporate.
Tailor made with your company colours,
160 pages with an extra of 4 pages with your
corporate info and individually packed in a box.
Starting from 50 pcs.
Ideal as business gift or marketing-tool.

6. D E S I G N N O T E B O O K S
McGrid-Individual
We want people to compose their own sketch-
book online: choosing colours, choosing grids (lines,
squares, pixels, ...) and order just 1 piece. That’s
the main idea for the McGrid-Individual.
= e-commerce website www.mcgrid.com/shop
with an automated workflow in cooperation with
our Belgian production partner.

McGrid-Pixel
We are working at a permanent collection:

These books are going to be sold at stores for
graphic supplies, design objects, art books etc.
We examine also the possibilities for online sales:
online shops, museumshops, ...

Grid

We start with a few grids where you can choose
