I just received a promo from a company called progressluv2pak.com, and it looks like they have all kinds of boxes, many of them made of recycled cardboard. Could be worth a look!

It must be a hot stamping machine–see http://www.belltype.com/Equipment.html

I want to say foil stamper too, but I’m not sure! I’ll tweet it and see what happens!

Thanks for letting us know, Camille. I will send her a card this week!

Atlantic paper will laminate their own stocks–I’m not sure about sending your finished job to them, though.My local offset printer will run 110# Lettra w/o complaint, but there is a lot of spoilage–more than there would be with a lighter stock. They have run 220# for me as well, but the print area wasn’t huge.

I would say a color-correct lamp is an often-overlooked must have; the florescent/incandescent combination in the lamp approximates daylight, so you can match colors to PMS swatches even in low-light or nighttime conditions. I got a vintage one on eBay for about $40!

I agree–looks like ink squeezing up over the edges of the impression. So what they said: too much packing, or too much ink, or rollers too low.
