TOG.ink Designer Tool Kit: The Basics

Parts and pieces of the designer toolkit with ink swatches and paper options fanned out

What the heck is the designer tool kit?

Inside the Tool Kit Box (which is only 6 x 8 x 1.75, so it doesn’t take up a ton of shelf space) is a tri-fold folder that houses swatch books. We focused on making the case easy to open with removable parts and pieces but we also wanted it to look good on display!
