Funky Box Studio’s card stock boxes transformed!

July 8, 2015July 8, 2015 Andreea

The title of this post is a bit dramatic, but not so far from the truth actually. I’ll show you how our card stock boxes get transformed once they reach our clients.

When i introduced the new small jewelry boxes with lid, i also showed you several photos of them being used by some of our clients. These photos can actually also serve as packaging inspiration, so i thought i’d post more of these.

A few months after we opened Funky Box Studio, a client bought a bunch of our medium size gift boxes and at the time she had told me she intended to transform them into mini suitcases. I would have never imagined such a cool result!

Another cool project our square card stock boxes were a part of is them being used as personalized packaging for some cute cork coasters. The gift boxes were hand printed by our client and we were absolutely in love with how they turned out! You can check our crafty client’s website over here.

The final “packaging project” i’m presenting today is one that i’m very fond of! Here’s Saloukee Jewellery‘s versions of our card stock boxes and gift bags!

I hope these inspiration photos are useful and there will be more in the future! If you’re also one of FBS’s clients and you’d like to share your updated versions of our boxes, please send us a mail at office@funkyprintstudio.com.

In the mean time, don’t forget about our Christmas in July letterpress promotion! Time is running out and i must say, we’re already working on a bunch of custom letterpress tags and 2 different custom letterpress business cards orders thanks to this promotion of ours. Free shipping for a whole month! It doesn’t matter where you are, if you’re looking o get letterpress printed wedding invitations, RSVP’s, save the date cards, business cards, calling cards, tags, coasters or whatever other piece of letterpress printed stationery, don’t hesitate and ask away! You can send us a mail at office@funkyprintstudio.com or through our etsy shop at www.FunkyPrintStudio.etsy.com.

The Funky Studio team wishes you, as always, a colorful day!

What has FPS been doing? Custom letterpress business cards, wedding sets, custom designs, new boxes and ranting

June 25, 2015 Andreea

FPS has been quite busy, even though lately you can tell people are finally starting their summer holidays. We’ve been working on several custom letterpress business cards, new templates for business cards (which i’m quite anxious to have up in the shop), new templates for save the date cards and also our very first letterpress wedding invitations and reception cards!

We played with ink colors again as we took on a custom letterpress business cards order that had to be printed in navy blue (i must admit, i can’t wait for the client to receive her package as these cards are definitely my favorite project so far! They turned out wonderful! Will have to wait for a confirmation before showing any photos though.). Continuing with ink colors playing, we re-printed our business cards using a sort of metallic copper-gold-brownish ink. Now that’s a color description! But seriously, it’s exactly that! It is a sparkling copper in the sunlight, but it turns brown when inside… The photos can’t really show these subtle changes, but in reality this ink color is quite amazing!

Our first custom wedding stationery set is also something i’m very proud of. I really enjoyed working on the design and we’re actually close to completion. We printed this wedding set in navy blue as well and we also made custom envelopes with blind printing on them. I’m guessing the actual Pantone color for the year is not really Marsala, but Navy Blue…

Our packaging shop will also be updated with new boxes quite soon. We have a bunch of them not listed yet, but alas, my all time nemesis, photography, gets in the way!

The letterpress shop is also in full-mode Christmas in July party! We have a special offer for Christmas in July: free shipping!! I’ll be doing a separate post about this too, but i thought i should mention it here too. So all of you business owners in search for impressive business cards or tags, all of you love-birds searching for beautiful wedding stationery that your guests won’t be able to throw away, all of you people around the world in search of custom letterpress printing, now it’s your chance! We’ll be handling the shipping for you, so there are no boundaries!

I really felt like ranting today, so i’ve done it! It’s also because i should have blogged sooner, but i must admit i’m also thinking of my summer holiday a lot lately…

The Funky Studio team wishes you, as always, a colorful day!

New small boxes with lid available! Presentation boxes, square favor boxes, jewelry boxes

June 8, 2015 Andreea

The small boxes with lid that we already had listed on our etsy shop are definitely our best selling boxes. They are actually usually bought by handmade jewelry crafters and artists, so we’re really excited to have these presentation boxes available in yet another size.

The small boxes with lid have been requested by a lot of people, so we have high hopes for these new ones to achieve the same popularity as their sisters (?).

Here are the technical details for these cute jewelry boxes:

– small boxes with lid, square jewelry boxes, presentation boxes, favor boxes, small gift boxes, party favors or wedding favors. Tip: you can have some traditional white candies wrapped in organza or tulle and then placed inside the boxes, if you’re looking for wedding favors; if you’re looking for baby shower favors, you can have small ceramic figurines wrapped inside that organza or tulle.

– size: 2.95 x 2.95 x 1.18 ” (inches) = 7.5 x 7.5 x 3 cm

– card stock: extra white, grey (white on the inside) or natural brown kraft (white on the inside)

– they come in sets of 20

– these small boxes with lid don’t require any double adhesive tape; you just fold and assemble! The easiest way to assemble a box.

– find them in our shop over here.

We’ve just listed these small boxes with lid on our etsy shop today, but i feel like they’ll be well received, just like it happened with the other two lidded boxes we have. You can find those here and here.

I keep talking about how well liked the other boxes with lid are and here’s why:

Jasmin Blanc Boutique, Eniko Fenyvesi, Sylph Designs.

If you’re also among our clients and you’d like to share your items in our packaging supplies, please contact us at office@funkyprintstudio.com.

Wednesday wishes. Getting into blogging mode

May 20, 2015July 15, 2015 Andreea

For this week’s Wednesday Wishes post i think it’s going to be all about the blogging mode i seem to have gotten into. I used to have a personal blog and i loved posting there, interacting with other bloggers, attending blogmeets and so on. It was a lot of fun and it lasted about 3 years. It all came to an end when Funky Box Studio came to life. No more time for blogging… The day job and the etsy shop were more than enough to leave room for nothing else. So i had to quit blogging. For a while i blogged solely for the shop, updates regarding the shop, new items and so on. Oh, but it was so boring! Now, with this new virtual home, i’m more than determined to combine the two in a fun way: personal, but also for the shops. So i’ve finally started one of the goals in another WW article: i’m starting to interact with other bloggers! General feeling: it feels so good to be back!! Blogging mode activated!

Maybe i should actually start the WW article…

* Sort through the blogs i follow via Bloglovin’ and leave the ones i actually do read. Also, add more! Done and doing! As i keep interacting with various bloggers i also update the Bloglovin’ list.

* Schedule blog posts. Since time is always an issue, i must schedule posts whenever there’s a chance… technically. Technically, because practically there’s always something i must do! There are always a bunch of things i want to do!

* Sleep. Ok, something not related to anything, but i’m in serious need of sleep! I think i can consider this cleared. Various reasons here (we got extra help with the production processes, got out more – park, bedminton, mountains -, very quiet month of July).

* Buy peonies. It’s their time, after all. And since my “buy tulips” goal was never accomplished, i think maybe this time… i’ll be luckier? My husband cleared this one out for me!

* Get new table for the studio. I kept saying how we’re trying to put the studio together and how we need a bunch of things, but the table is a definite must. Also, just as important as the table, storage options.

* DIY projects. There are so many i want to try! So i need to get them all in one place first, update whenever there’s something new and finally, start actually doing them! Then again, i guess i could put the studio decorating thing over here, so it’s not like i haven’t done anything at all…

No more wishes for this week! Or maybe there are, but i’m too sleepy to think straight? Hmmm…

The Funky Studio team wishes you, as always, a colorful day!
