Design Group UK Named Finalists in Stationery Awards 2026

We’re proud to have been named finalists in two categories at the Stationery Awards 2026, recognising the strength and breadth of our product offering across both novelty and organisational stationery.

Our Edge Novelty Charming Stackable Highlighters, part of our new novelty stationery range, have been shortlisted for Novelty Stationery Product of the Year. Designed to bring a playful twist to everyday essentials, these highlighters sit within a wider collection that we will be officially launching at this year’s London International Stationery Show.

We have also been shortlisted for Filing, Storage or Organisational Product of the Year with our Gingham Bow Filing & Storage Range, reflecting our continued focus on delivering commercially relevant products that combine practical organisation with clear, trend-aware styling.

These nominations reflect the work of our teams across the business, from initial concept development through to final delivery, and underline our position within the fashion stationery space.

Katie Brickle, Brand & Marketing Manager at IG Design Group UK, commented:
“We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised across two categories this year. These nominations reflect the strength of our ranges and the work that goes into bringing them to market—from initial concept right through to final execution. It’s particularly rewarding to see both our new novelty development and our core organisational offering acknowledged, and to be shortlisted alongside such a strong group of industry peers.”

We continue to partner with retailers through a fully managed, end-to-end approach, developing considered, in-demand collections across a wide range of stationery categories—from notebooks and planners to writing instruments, filing and storage solutions—designed to meet consumer needs year-round.

The winners of the Stationery Awards 2026 will be announced at the London International Stationery Show, taking place on 12–13 May at the Business Design Centre, London, where we will be showcasing our latest ranges at Stand M502.
