The idea of sustainability is all over the place right now, and it is a concept that we should all embrace and incorporate into our daily lifestyle at home and at work. Every little bit counts, and if you can reuse a holiday card to wrap a gift over the holidays I say go for it. Especially if it is nicely printed, has clever messaging and includes ideas of what that gift might be.
Our multi-dimensional holiday card combines sincere gift-giving advice with cheeky quips on the process of gift-giving itself. Messaging on the front urges recipients to “Get-Gifted,” enticing them to open the card and enter a maze of holiday gifting. The inside immerses the user in a choose-your-own adventure gift guide, leading toward one of twelve unique gifts for a lover, friend, coworker, or parent. A visual vocabulary of meandering ribbons, along with a color palette of burgundy, silver, and green, reinforces the holiday theme.
The card also represents our commitment to sustainable design in both its material and form. It is printed on 100% post consumer fiber, and if the user desires, s/he can repurpose the card by cutting and folding it into a gift box that can fit each of the gifts.
