Mohn media prints German Edition of Playboy

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 12:02:00 +0100

Photo shoots of beautiful women in exotic locations are a highlight of each Playboy edition. Having previously been produced on gravure presses, the offset printing teams at Mohn media used their know-how and experience to ensure an accurate reproduction of the images across the entire print run. From the blues of the ocean to the browns of the skin tones - every detail is vital in capturing the imagination of the Playboy reader.

 The results convinced the publishers of Playboy. 14 issues per year are now produced at the Mohn media headquarters in G�tersloh, including the legendary Playmate-Calendar that is published together with the January edition of the magazine.

 �Printing Playboy is something special. We are very proud to have this top-product in our portfolio� sums up Heinrich Reker, Head of Mohn media Magazine Department.

Excellent services for excellent products

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 08:41:00 +0100

To cement this standard DARIO�S and Mohn media developed a new catalogue concept for the mail order company in 2009. The previous A4 soft-cover catalogue was replaced with a high-quality, thread-stitched hardcover version in a handier and more sophisticated format. It is distributed to selected customers and displayed at selected luxury hotels in Europe.

This catalogue � the DARIO�S Book � has now been awarded the �Letter of Excellence� at the �Versandhandelskongress� in Wiesbaden, Germany, the leading European trade show for the mail order, dialogue marketing and e-commerce sector.

Dario M�ller, owner of the gift trading company, was not only convinced by the excellent print services Mohn media provides, but also by the logistics services of our sister company, arvato services. Since September 2010 arvato services has been handling the entire logistics for DARIO�S, including warehousing, shipping and handling of returns.
