Every project has its own lessons. On this project Manic learned a lesson we can all file away: it’s not easy to edge-paint embossed business cards. Luckily, they found a way to solve this problem. If anyone else out there is facing the same issues, maybe they will be nice enough to share their solution.

Project Description

Shovel & Bell is the latest up-market gelateria and cafe in Guangzhou, China. Our identity project for them included naming, branding, store design, stationery, and packaging.

Production Lesson(s)

The namecards gave us the hardest time! We had them silkscreened, embossed and then duplex-mounted. On top of that, we attempted to edge paint it ourselves. The embossing meant that no matter how tightly we clamped it, the fine airbrush paint would seep into the gaps. Also, the colour and texture of Sirio 80 meant that the surface of the card got dirtied quite easily. After much trial and error and persistence, we succeeded with their first batch of cards, consisting of total of nine tasty gelato-inspired colours!”
