Puckator’s Adoramals Space 2 in1 Sharpener and Eraser, as well as the company’s Game Over Erasable Pen, are among the finalists in the Novelty Stationery Product of the Year, with Adoracorns Astra the Unicorn Glue Stick from Puckator a finalist in the Children’s Stationery Product of the Year category and Puckator’s Aardman Inkredible Erasable Pen with PVC Wallace & Gromit Topper shortlisted in the Licensed Stationery Product of the Year category.
All finalists in the 2025 Stationery Awards product categories were revealed earlier this week – see below – showcasing an inspiring line-up of innovative stationery from over 50 brands, spanning industry icons as well as exciting newcomers.
This year’s Awards were open to all 150+ exhibitors taking part in the London Stationery Show (13–14 May at London’s Business Design Centre), representing over 300 stationery brands. Exhibitors were invited to enter products launched within the last 12 months, across 12 product categories.
All entries were judged by a panel of leading stationery retailers. Each judge was asked to vote individually for what they considered were the top five product entries in each category. These votes were then correlated with the top scorers being revealed in the finalists’ list. This year, owing to the quantity and quality of product submissions received, and due to a tie of votes in some cases, the finalists’ lineup has been extended to allow eight finalists in each category.
The products will be displayed in The Stationery Awards Showcase area on the Gallery level at London Stationery Show, offering visitors the chance to discover what’s making waves in the stationery world. The winners will be unveiled at an awards ceremony taking place at Jack‘s Cafe on the evening of Tuesday 13 May (after the show closes).
“The list of finalists truly reflects the bold creativity and dynamic momentum driving the stationery industry at the moment,” stated Chantelle White, event manager of the London Stationery Show. “This year, we’ve seen an incredible range of entries, from beautifully crafted essentials by heritage brands to daring, fresh innovations from exciting new start-ups. We’re counting down the days to celebrate with all the finalists at the show!”
