Highly sensible stationary made from precise and delicate duplicate slip technology

It’s so stylish that you’ll want to display it in your cabinet after use. FOLDER PRODUCTS’ sales vouchers look like a piece of art when arranged beside the cash register. Founder Ogura Printing was established in 1965 with a specialty in printing duplicate slips such as receipts and delivery forms.

“My grandfather, a print craftsman, founded the company with one small printer. My grandmother was in charge of sales, and her approach was to take jobs that no one else wanted to do,” says company CEO Keiji Ogura.

According to his grandmother’s approach, the best item to produce ended up being duplicate slips. It is essential that the overlapping sheets fit perfectly with one another, and the work is highly difficult since the thin paper is easily damaged. Ogura Printing first began receiving a large number of orders contracted from local print companies, and throughout the years the company has steadily continued to develop unique technology for the most effective printing for these complex numbered and perforated slips. Third generation company head Ogura Keiji declared a second stage of the company after joining in 2010. After establishing e-commerce site e-denpyou.com, Ogura felt a strong desire to establish an in-house brand.

“Despite requiring advanced printing technology, duplicate slips are treated as an afterthought, perhaps because of the thin feel of the material. So I wanted to make something more attractive and appealing, something that our employees could appreciate and take pride in.”

With that drive he created FOLDER PRODUCTS duplicate slips. The solid cover and high quality texture improves the brand impression for companies and stores.

“Regardless of whether digitization continues, the appeals of paper and handwriting ought to remain. Moving forward I want to make things that will help improve communication.
