In the studio, life lately

September 12, 2018 Andreea

It’s been pretty busy in our little studio lately, so no time for blog updates. No time for anything, actually, other than work. And a lot of running around.

We’ve been working on a bunch of interesting projects and here are a couple of them:

So the note cards and hang tags above are right up my alley. I love simple, minimal designs with clean, clear fonts. And they’re exactly like this. The one detail that’s a bit more uncommon is the fact that we used matte gold foil to print them. Usually the metallic foils are preferred, but it highly depends on the design as well. For this set, the choice of using matte foil was absolutely perfect.

I am totally in love with the blush ink color we used for the custom letterpress business cards in the photos above! The cards were printed on both sides, using the same lovely ink color, with one side presenting the logo, and the other, the information details.

Hopefully i’ll be able to update the blog more often, although being busy in the studio is good too! :)

Have a colorful day!

FPS finally back blogging!

July 24, 2018 Andreea

It’s been quite a while since i last updated the blog, but the entire website is still a work in progress! It’s so difficult to choose an appropriate theme, edit it, update it, add photos and so on. During all this time i’ve changed the theme 15845458 times! Well, i’m sure many of you can understand my struggle. I’m still not happy with this theme, but i think i’ve come to a point where i’ll just say “Oh, leave it be!” The only thing left for me to update is the website’s shop. And that’s going to be a continuous work.

A bunch of things happened since i last updated the blog. There are a couple of new services we can now proudly provide! I’m really excited about both of them. A while back we got a new machine woohoo! (our little studio is growing!) We can now do edge painting in gold hot foil!

Edge painting is a very delicate process and one wrong move can ruin everything you’ve worked on. Well, the gold foil edge painting requires even more attention. However, the end result is stunning. There’s nothing classier than hot foil and the cards are bound to stand out and leave a lasting impression.

The second new thing we can now offer is actually so new i didn’t even have time to take photos! We can now have clear acrylic cards! Hopefully i’ll be able to take some photos soon.

We’ve been keeping busy with the letterpress and hot foil activity, so i didn’t have any time at all to update the packaging shop. Pretty much everything has to be updated there – there are some boxes not available anymore, but a bunch of new ones came instead; i have to update the quantities and prices because of major changes in the post office’s shipping fees, but most importantly, i must take photos. That’s my eternal enemy. :(

That’s about it for now. I’ll definitely try to update the blog more often now!

Have a colorful day!

[Behind the scenes] Custom letterpress business cards for TwoFour Creative Coalition

July 23, 2015July 23, 2015 Andreea

The custom letterpress business cards for TwoFour Creative Coalition’s Rich were really our ideal letterpress order. Be it a seller or buyer, you have that ideal transaction in mind: if you’re a buyer, you want the item to fit your needs and preferences, the seller to be nice, the shop to look appealing and so on; if you’re a seller, you want the client to be reasonable, to be satisfied with your items, to come back for a second time etc. So there are these general ideas each buyer and each seller has depending on various characteristics. Well for us, the letterpress business cards for TwoFour Creative Coalition were precisely that: ideal transaction. Conversation went smoothly, design was perfect, letterpress printing was a blast. The business cards and letterpress tags we did for Printsmith and the project we’ve just wrapped up were like this as well, so that makes me think that there’s a bright future ahead! Hehe!

Anyway, here are the short technical details of the letterpress business cards for TwoFour Creative Coalition’s Rich:

– 450gsm Snow White card stock, one side printing, 3.5 x 2″ (inches), black ink
