@maiarigas hi Maia! yes, I remember you…and congrats on your booming printing business! Your stuff looks great.

Okay I have an idea and a possible solution. I just need some feed back from the wonderful ladies of letterpress. (Kseniya help if I am not posting this were everyone can see).

They get boxed separately, most of the time. Sometimes I just wrap them in matching paper . . .

Amber Seguine replied to the topic Packaging… in the forum Business Matters 16 years, 10 months ago
