Event Crashers Letterpress
Event Crashers was getting requests left and right for samples of their work. So, they come up with this one-piece promotion machine that shows off the print shop’s capabilities by combining all of their printing processes with the majority of their substrates. Now they don’t have to worry about searching through drawers or maintaining a stock pile of extra prints.

Project Description
We wanted to create a self promo piece that would encompass most of our processes on a majority of the substrates we print and foil onto. Designers would often ask to see samples of our work and so with this one single piece, we could show off most of our capabilities.Production Lesson(s)
There weren't really any challenges after the project was started. Thankfully, I anticipated potential problems up front—like die cutting to print alignment and leaving correct margins to drill the hole and screw in the post.
