New Green Graphics deisgn

One of the joys of working at a print shop, is a limitless budget for printing of in-house propaganda. Whenever I get bored (or we run out) of our business cards, I take the opportunity do design new ones. And I make it a point to challenge the production staff as much as possible.

The cards are printed 1/0 on 130lb French Muscletone. The Green strip is printed 1/0 on 70lb parchment, then glued across both sides of the card.

The envelopes have a similar but bigger strip that covers the flap.

Cutting the strips and manually gluing them is the hardest part of the job, and it is so time consuming we only make a few cards a day.
