National Stationery Show 09












SO many people commented on how nice the booth looked. From the aisles, it looked inviting and open, modern with clean lines and a fun atmosphere... and so CB! Travis Stanton, Editor of Exhibitor Magazine took pictures of the booth and asked if we designed and executed ourselves. Yes we did!

Designed by Checkerboard, yes sir, headed up by Karen Davis who designs and sources all the fixtures and fun touches, working with Payal Kripalani and Kerry Amidon. Our booth is built by our own Kevin Pyne and Dick Novia. The computer king is Andrew Feland, who wires and installs all the CB systems. Of course, no matter how great the booth looks, it is full of albums made by hand right here in West Boylston by our amazing production staff. With that being said, we were supported by every department here.

Our dealers go without saying, for they are why we are here. So many came to visit us in New York. We love seeing each and everyone of them. We snapped pix of a few, so stay tuned!

Checkerboard once again had an amazing show in New York City for 2009, our 20th Anniversary year!

Hmmmm....so what happens to all your booth fixtures after the show? I'm thinking I know a place they could be recycled!

The booth structure itself remains, while things like the throw rugs and lamps get redecorated or swapped out. We usually use them for a few years. If there is anything that can be recycled, I will let you know!
