Project Description

Hand-made edge colored business cards on 2mm cardboard stock printed on both sides. The concept was to create a card which had a hand-made look & feel in order to support the name of our graphic design studio, "Craftor". For this reason we wanted to somehow craft the cards by ourselves instead of using any kind of printing machinery for production.

Production Lesson(s)

Our first-time experience with this process was a bit time consuming as we had to find a proper way-technique to press the stamp onto the cardboard as perfect as possible in order to achieve a good print. The tricky part was the right positioning and the right press in order to have good results. An interesting process but certainly not recommended for large volume production.”
