This just in from the nation's largest paper plate/napkin distributor. We have been submitting for five years to this company. We have probably sent them close to a thousand submissions over the years - and had success about five times. I just wanted you to know that this is a highly-competitive client to reach.
Themes they are seeking are Bridal, Juvenile Girl/Boy and Pet.
That is what their trend boards represent.
From the client:
Greetings All!
Here’s group 2 trend boards for our ED12 catalog line. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous email is our compensation. First off, all designs are submitted on spec. Then, if a design of yours is selected & finalized for our line, it can fall into one of 2 brands that we carry. Our Paper Art brand (party channel) is $1,000 advance with royalty of 5% for tableware and 2.5% for décor. Our other line is Party Creations (food & drug channel). It is $1,000 advance with 2.5% royalty on all items.

The creative briefs are proprietary information. Please do not share with others – time to be selfish and think of yourself first :)
ASK Chanta@kimdesigns.com to see these. Chanta will email them.
Keep in mind that we do ask if a design of yours is selected that you place your artwork on our templates that we will provide. We have made them more user friendly. Hopefully this will aid in overall efficiency.
If you have not heard from us by April 18th, please consider your artwork available for other channels/opportunities.
We are very excited to see your submissions!

Have a great Sunday!
