STAEDTLER and COLOP launch new distribution partnership in the UK

STAEDTLER, one of the world's leading manufacturers of writing, drawing and creative materials, and COLOP, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of creative and educational stamp products, are strengthening their international partnership. From July 2026, STAEDTLER (UK) Ltd will be responsible for the distribution of selected products from the COLOP range in the UK. Through this partnership, both companies are joining forces to make innovative, creative products available to retailers and consumers in an even more efficient and targeted manner.

A strong addition to the creative range
Through this partnership, STAEDTLER is expanding its portfolio with a range that appeals to both children and adults.
STAEDTLER brings many years of experience in creative applications and high-quality materials to the table.
COLOP complements this perfectly with a wide range of creative stamps and teacher's stamps.

Together, the companies offer a carefully curated range tailored to both retail and eCommerce channels, and the education sector. This combination of two strong brands fosters creativity and supports retailers with an innovative, user-friendly and inspiring range.

New opportunities for retailers
The products from STAEDTLER and COLOP complement each other logically and cater to a wide range of creative techniques and materials. Thanks to the collaboration, from July 2026 retailers will be able to order the range of both brands from a single distribution partner – an efficient solution that makes the range clearer and more accessible.

One of the highlights of the COLOP range is the user-friendly MARKY fabric stamp, which is ideal for personalising and labelling clothing, shoes, school supplies and other items. This product helps to easily prevent mix-ups and loss of items and is aimed at a broad target group, from families to schools. In addition, COLOP offers numerous other products for a wide range of creative applications.
