IEEBEE Event Journal · New York City
Inside IEEBEE’s NY NOW Summer 2026 Experience
Three days of washi tape, artistic stationery, inspiring conversations, and new retail connections at one of New York City’s leading wholesale markets.
The Event
Where creativity meets retail
NY NOW Summer Market brings established and emerging brands together with professional buyers across gift, lifestyle, home, jewelry, and accessories. For IEEBEE, it was the perfect place to show how decorative tape becomes a flexible tool for journaling, scrapbooking, card making, gift wrapping, and creative retail displays.
Designed for Discovery
A booth built like a creative studio
We wanted visitors to understand IEEBEE at a glance: original design, gift-ready packaging, practical display, and creative materials that invite people to make something personal.
More than a product shelf
The display helped buyers compare themes, finishes, set sizes, and coordinated stationery. Vintage artwork sat beside celestial motifs, holiday collections, colorful everyday tapes, and notebooks designed to create complete gift stories.
In person, visitors could feel the paper, see the scale of each roll, compare standard printing with foil details, and imagine how the collections could appear in their own stores.
Made to Mix
From one roll to a complete visual story
IEEBEE collections are designed to work alone or together. A customer might begin with one art-inspired tape, pair it with a matching notebook, and gradually build a collection for journaling, collage, and thoughtful gift wrapping.
- Art-inspired themes make familiar paintings usable and personal.
- Vintage and mystical motifs add atmosphere to journals.
- Foil details create a refined finish for special projects.
- Coordinated stationery creates easy gift-ready combinations.
From the Show Floor
Details from the IEEBEE display
Every corner offered a different entry into the collection, from fine-art inspiration and seasonal gifting to journals, notebooks, and playful everyday designs.
“The most rewarding part of NY NOW was seeing buyers discover not only a tape design, but an entire creative possibility.”
Retail Connections
From New York to creative communities across the USA
NY NOW gave us the opportunity to connect with museum shops, independent bookstores, art-supply stores, scrapbooking destinations, gift retailers, and creator-led online shops. These relationships help IEEBEE reach customers far beyond the show floor.
Whether someone discovers a Van Gogh-inspired set in a museum store or finds a mystical notebook through an independent retailer, each partner creates a new way to experience the brand.
