Two beautiful sets of blind-embossed holiday cards designed by Chad at The G Brand.
A quick refresher: A blind emboss uses a convex die to press the paper from the back into a concave counter-die in the front creating a raised surface. This is not to be confused with a letterpress deboss — the impression made by a letterpress die pressing into the front of the paper.
Whoa. Check out this hot-off-the-press Halloween card — designed and printed right here at our Portland studio. On the outside it features a medium gray ink and a 50/50 mix of transparent and opaque white on 65# Neenah Astrobrights Cosmic Orange. And on the inside it's the same gray ink plus a custom orange on 90# Pearl White Lettra. All hand duplexed of course.
Oh, and what exactly is going on inside? It's 15% off any business-related custom printing now through the end of November. That could mean business card, holiday cards, letterhead, or maybe some letterpress coasters for your company's New Year's Eve bash.
We mailed these out to a select bunch of loyal customers, but figured the whole world should be clued in too. The whole world reads this blog, right? Probably.
