Architecture festival · October · Cartagena
For architecture studios, building-materials brands, urban planners, heritage teams and delegations that take part in the Cartagena Architecture Festival (Cartagena, October), one week of guided itineraries across the city's modernist heritage, talks at CIM, exhibitions at MURAM and maritime routes through the Port. EUR + 21% VAT via FACe / SII (AEAT) and 24–48 h delivery from the Madrid production hub.
The Cartagena Architecture Festival is the annual appointment for architecture on the Mediterranean coast: one week in the second fortnight of October that mixes guided itineraries through the modernist and rationalist heritage of the city —Hospital de Marina, Gran Hotel, CIM, Casa Maestre, Casa Zapata—, temporary exhibitions at MURAM (Museo Regional de Arte Moderno), technical talks at CIM and maritime routes through the Port of Cartagena. The typical edition draws 4,000 registered attendees and between 800 and 1,200 delegates from studios, materials brands, urban planners and heritage teams from across Spain.
For studios, materials brands and urban planners the operational challenge is the urban and mobile nature of the festival: merch that survives a full day between walking itineraries, port stops and MURAM exhibitions; discreet packaging that respects the solemnity of heritage; and a professional gifting aimed at the College members and Heritage Friends who accompany the itineraries. The typical brief we receive mixes branded polos and technical tees for the festival guides and staff, lanyards and badges for College members and Heritage Friends, premium merch sets for the exhibiting materials brands, and numbered limited editions for authorities and the managers of the BIC (Bienes de Interés Cultural) sites that the itineraries cross.
The Madrid production hub handles the entire order and ships by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee in Cartagena — studio office, materials-brand headquarters, or the storage area allocated by the festival at MURAM or CIM. The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article.
220 GSM branded polos and technical tees in anthracite grey or off-white with two-colour serigraphy of the festival or the studio, softshell jacket for the afternoon Port itineraries, branded caps and linen aprons for the MURAM exhibition team.
Organic-cotton tote bags with discreet serigraphy of the festival or the materials brand, engraved eco bottles, compact pocket notebooks with serigraphed bookmark, methacrylate folding rulers with the studio logo — 200–1,500 units depending on stand volume.
Conference-week lanyards with metal clip, rigid badge holders for College members, compact backpacks for delegates walking the itineraries, serigraphed notebook + pen kits for Heritage Friends attending the CIM technical talks — 100–400 units.
Hard-cover premium notebooks stamped with the studio seal, embroidered gift sets carrying the festival mark, numbered limited editions of modernist-heritage books or prints for BIC managers, bilingual packaging (Spanish, English) and named delivery to the reserved space at MURAM.
The brand operation at Cartagena Architecture Festival is coordinated from Madrid with delivery into the Mediterranean coast: the Madrid hub handles the entire order and ships by road to a named consignee — studio office in Murcia, materials-brand headquarters, or the storage area allocated by the festival at MURAM or CIM. The standard delivery window is 24–48 hours with prior appointment, since in October the Port of Cartagena receives cruise ships and the festival loading window is early morning.
We keep reserved stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — T-shirts, tote bags and lanyards with generic serigraphy — which we can produce and deliver in 7–10 working days. For pieces with custom embroidery (studio seal, limited-edition number for BIC managers) the window moves to 12–14 working days. For studios with exhibition pieces (heritage prints, numbered books) we suggest locking the brief 5–6 weeks before the festival opening.
The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, on request, a photo of the material at the exhibition space.
