Creative Invite for C3 wins Omni

When it comes to an invitation Ad and Design Firms usually take it over the top. This is a project that I was lucky enough to be able to print part of. Each board in the invitation is 2 to 3 colors pressed on a thick soft absorbant paper stock. The cover sheet is a metallic sheet that is blind debossed (using no ink).

C3 was recently awarded an OMNI fron the Kansas City Advertising Club for this invitaiton. The ceremony is in a couple of days where they will find out exactly how it placed amont the other entries. C3 is the largest U.S., kids­focused brand­marketing agency to the restaurant industry. The company provides ongoing, comprehensive marketing, branding, creative, research, production and distribution to the top 100 restaurant chains across the nation. C3 is known for its fun­loving kids’ menus and toys and award­winning design team.

Metallic Pearl Wedding Invitation Package

Gilbert paper makes a great, but expensive, line of papers. Esse is the line I am talking about. This wedding package uses the pearlized latte 100# textured cover. I LOVE IT! It however needs a bit of specialty ink, well out ofthe letterpress norm anyway. You have to find a fully oxidizing ink because the paper won't absorb it. But the end product definately has got some FLASH. This package consitst of a Save the date, 3 part main invitation, reply postcard and thank you card. Needless to say it has been a HUGE learning cuve. This project has definately taken me twice as long figuring out the best way to run this paper on my presses. The great part is it was all worth it!

To the Happy Couple

Couples should plan the wedding, not just the bride! From the most important part, THE INVITATION, all the way down to the actual ceremony. Jermaine and Nate came up with a great design that they needed some letterpress for. The red cover is a tone on tone deboss with a tone on tone print on the second page also. All the type is handset from a few of our 180 drawers of metal type.
