New Packaging

In preparation for the National Stationery Show, I’ve redesigned the packaging for my pins, magnets, pocket mirrors, and bookplates.

The size I use is 2.75″ x 4.25″, but to save money I ordered them 4-up on a 5.5″ x 8.5″ postcard. I have a ream cutter, so 5 minutes of work saved me $300.

That’s just part of the stack!

OK. One more item checked off the to-do list. *whew*

    I guess that ream cutter really paid for itself (whenever you bought it) if it just saved you more than it cost with this one job!

Your blog is just inspirational and soooo my taste. I will link to you and visit daily…just when do I feed the children, do the washing, run my business?

    Sometimes I print things myself (I have an Epson R1800), but I sent these out to be done.

    Lib, I love my ream cutter! I bought it on eBay from chicagojohnde. I have the QCM-1200E.

    Amy – I’ll take a photo soon! I’m not sure if I’ll have time today or not, but I have some new designs I need to photograph anyway. :)

  • can we see a photo of how they are put together? do you put them into a plastic sleeve? I really like the design!

  • Very nice.

    Can you tell me about your ream cutter? I’m shopping for one right now, and would love to have an actual user’s review.

    Thanks so much!
