A majority of my weekend went towards packaging an order corporate gifts. The requirements were that the packaging had to be beautiful and gift-ready, yet compact, light and fuss-free enough to be packed into a suitcase without hassle or the possibility of damage.
Personally, I love how these turned out: though minimal, the detail of the die-cut edge and contrast of grey grosgrain make these gift-ready despite the lack of traditional wrapping paper and bows.
Tucked inside each package was 5 notecards, letterpressed with the image of a bird perched in a sprig of flowers. They were paired with matching envelopes, lined in the same sunny yellow as the ink colour.
Here’s some close-ups of the print, with the super-fine details shown on the left.
These were so hard to hand over – I’d grown quite attached to the little birdies after working on this project. Here’s hoping they have a safe flight to Japan and their new owners there!
i loooove the yellow birdies! so pretty!
glad to see you back in action =)
Thanks Jac! I’ve been up to my eyeballs in print projects, but no complaints
How’s life on your side of the island? Loved your post on bookmaking/notetaking!
the bookmaking classes are interesting! Fairly inspiring =) I’m finally travelling in May, so maybe I’ll do up a journal for those travels =)
btw I ADORE the namecards in your last post! the ink is amazing~
Aww thanks Jac! I wish the hot pink had shown up better in photos though!
Where are you off to? It’s such a cool idea to make and use a journal specifically for the place you’re going – I hope you find time to do just that! (And blog about it)
Woah, these corporate gifts are trendy – I wish I was a recipient!
Thanks Joy
The running joke on these was that they’ll be useful in conjunction with the more typical corporate gifts – pens!
