Back in April, the Templecoombe Ltd team attended the annual Museums + Heritage Show, and what a couple of days it was. We spent the event meeting new people, catching up with familiar faces and having some great conversations with professionals from across the museum and heritage sector.
If you visited us at Stand V19, you may have noticed something a little different. We didn’t have giant screens, flashing lights, or any attention grabbing gimmicks. Instead, we chose to keep things simple and focus on what we do best.
Letting Our Products Take Centre Stage
Rather than filling our stand with expensive displays, we used the space to showcase real examples of the custom bags and packaging we produce for our customers.
By displaying genuine client projects, visitors could see the quality, print detail and variety of our products up close. Featured throughout the stand were designs created for organisations including:
- The Barbican
- Imperial War Museum (IWM)
- The Bodleian Library Shops
- Sir John Soane’s Museum
- Whittlesea Museum
Making an Impact Without Overcomplicating Things
One of the biggest takeaways for us was that you don’t need an extravagant stand to start meaningful conversations. Seeing a range of finished products together in one space allowed visitors to appreciate the quality and versatility of custom printed bags.
It also led to some interesting discussions about the value of branded packaging. A well designed bag doesn’t just serve a practical purpose on the day of purchase, it continues to promote a museum, gallery or heritage site long after a visitor has left the gift shop.
Looking Ahead
A big thank you to the Museums + Heritage Show organisers for putting together an excellent event, and to everyone who took the time to stop by and speak with us.
We’re now busy following up with the many people we met and look forward to working with more museums, galleries and heritage organisations in the months ahead.
