Paper Plain ID is located in the heart of Den Bosch, where they work with a team of four enthusiastic co-workers, each of whom brings a different set of talents to the table.

The added value of good design is increasingly receiving recognition. They also create, produce and bring their own designs to the market. PPID is often asked by clients to come up with solutions to design issues; both for businesses, within the framework of the new method of working, and also for private individuals. PPID designs for a varied range of clients and endeavours to maintain an all-encompassing portfolio.
