Plint

Plint is a Dutch publisher and online retailer dedicated to poetry and the visual arts. Through its webshop at plint.nl, the brand sells a curated range of poetry-related products: tear-off poetry calendars, birthday calendars, poetry posters, the magazine DICHTER., poetry anthologies and children's poetry books, as well as gift items such as cushion covers printed with poems, porcelain mugs and poetry-themed tote bags. The product copy on the site emphasises the idea that "poems make your day richer and lighter" ("Gedichten maken je dag dichter en lichter"), positioning poetry as an everyday, accessible pleasure rather than an academic pursuit. The assortment is organised around seasonal and gift-giving occasions — Sinterklaas/December gifts, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day and International Women's Day — as well as recurring Dutch poetry events such as Poëzieweek. Plint also publishes DADA, a magazine introducing children to art and poetry, sold individually and in discounted sets. Its flagship publications include the Scheurkalender (tear-off calendar), the DICHTER. magazine and the poetry picture book series "Één gedicht is nooit genoeg". Plint operates primarily in the Dutch-language market. The website is in Dutch and prices are quoted in euros. The brand functions as both a publisher and a direct-to-consumer retailer, using its webshop as the main sales channel. Beyond books and magazines, it has extended into homeware and stationery, including writing materials, porcelain tableware and textile gifts, all carrying poetic texts. Because the available evidence consists mainly of the brand's own webshop homepage and a Wikidata entry, details such as founding year, founder, ownership structure and headquarters are not documented here. The brand is active and continues to release new products, including a Scheurkalender for 2027 offered in pre-sale.

The available evidence does not document Plint's founding date, founder or corporate history. What can be established from the brand's own website is its current activity and product range. Plint operates as a Dutch publisher and webshop focused on poetry and visual art, selling through plint.nl. Its catalogue includes recurring periodicals such as DICHTER. and DADA, annual products such as the Scheurkalender and birthday calendar, and a broad line of poetry posters, books and giftware. The brand ties its releases to the Dutch cultural calendar, including Poëzieweek and International Women's Day, and to gift-giving occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day and the December holidays. A Scheurkalender for 2027 was offered in pre-sale at the time of the homepage capture, indicating an ongoing annual publication programme. No ownership, parent company or headquarters information is available in the supplied evidence.
