- Embossing Seal
- Hole punch
Embossing Seal:

Letterhead Stock:
Business Card Stock:
Label Stock:
Order Form Stock:
Second Test:
I wanted to test out extremes, testing a stock at 100gsm, and another at 300 gsm.
As you can see, at 100 gsm the embossed design gets creases, whilst the design at 300gsm simply doesn't print properly:
Eyelet Setter
This is for the envelope closing mechanism and also the clothing tags.
Unfortunately the underside doesn't look as good as expected. However, this will be hidden (most of the time) with the envelope, and on the underside of the clothing tag, which won't have any information or design on anyway.
This is for the envelope closing mechanism and also the clothing tags.
Producing An Envelope
After beginning to use my hole punch and eyelet setter, I wanted to see how I could produce a string bound envelope. This was chosen as oppose to a standard envelope, as it hints at something more high end.
