Project Description
Our good friends at The FGD entrusted us with the design of their new business card. Not prepared to compromise on quality we pulled out all the stops and presented them this black beauty made topped with gold foil and finished off with a cast iron custom embossing press shipped to NZ all the way from New Mexico. The little kiwi has never felt so bling.Production Lesson(s)
The cast iron desk press (from Made to Order Stamp & Seal, New Mexico, USA) cost an additional US$310.
