Tonic Studios USA opened for business on the 1st January 2015, with one full time employee. Tonic’s American branch has since grown to to 16 strong team, dedicated to distributing and selling quality craft products to customers in North, Central and South America, and beyond. The US arm of Tonic Studios Ltd, based in South Wales, UK, was formed to bring the best of Tonic Studios to a USA audience who were ready to develop their crafting through new tools, dies, embellishments.
We strive daily to make products that delight and give our customers the freedom to express themselves, whatever their style. Tonic USA is excited to be developing its base in California, with a new 16,000 square foot facility opening in September of 2019. Tonic Studios was established in the UK in 2001 initially focusing on the stationery / office / paper crafts and garden hand tools markets in collaboration with other brands. Tonic Studios later decided to enter the UK market using it’s own brand which it had launched into the USA several years earlier.
From the outset, our belief has always been on high-quality products combined with innovation at affordable prices. With an in-house team of product engineers, graphic designers and illustrators, Tonic Studios has consistently grown and innovated product ranges into craft tool markets around the world.
At Tonic Studios we recognize that for the customer, one of the most important aspects of paper crafting is to have a product that provides a clean cut and beautiful finish. This means it is the most important feature for us when designing our products, from scissors and guillotines to paper punches and dies every product will have a crisp clean cut.
In the years since Tonic Studios has been established, the product design team has developed many products to provide additional end user utility. These include steel handles in scissors for extra strength and comfort and reworking of the blade technology on guillotines enabling the crafter to achieve a detailed hairline cut. Tonic's ever expanding range of dies, has helped bring us to the forefront of paper crafting with some of the most detailed versatile dies available on the market.
We have consistently expanded our knowledge of crafting products over the years to create the new brand Nuvo. These products in the brand consist of consumables to let the crafter add the finish, color, and sparkle to any craft project. Nuvo has now grown from a range of glitters to crystal drops, glitter drops, embellishment mousses, gilding flakes, glue pens, alcohol based pens, embossing powders etc.
With these two amazing brands in place, we say that Tonic is all about the cut and Nuvo is all about the finish.
