Creative Greeting Cards by Artists Hashim Thomas – stunning designs from iconic images

Check out the Die Cut Greeting Cards Printing for Less recently printed for Hashim Thomas, an accomplished artist and Creative Director of VisuaLogic, LLC.

VisuaLogic’s latest venture is a greeting card line based on Hashim’s “Icon Series” paintings. As noted on his website, Hashim “believes in sharing meaningful moments with the people he cares about, and extends this philosophy into a fitting product for that sentiment.”

Printing for Less experts went above and beyond with this project – creating six custom die and foil lines for the cards. The shape of the rock star’s hair line for example, has more detail than Printing for Less has ever created in a Die Cut before.

With a combination of modern art and historic significance, these cards bring a fresh look to your favorite cultural icons. Need help with your print? Talk to a live print expert today: 800-930-7978.

Montana Meadows – staying “stuck” even at -20° Farenheit

We take most printing for granted, especially printing (packaging, labels, etc.) that is involved with things we eat, such as a label or tag or things we use daily, such as eye drops or medicine. How do we know it is safe?
Montana Meadows, a Printing for Less customer, recently printed labels to go on their packages of certified all natural grass-fed beef. Located in Livingston, Montana, Montana Meadows has a strict process when it comes to their packaging: it needs to be food-safe and USDA approved, able to be run through a direct thermal machine for additional information such as the weight and product, and hold up to very cold temperatures, in the range of minus 20 degrees Farenheit. Now that is cold…

Additionally, Montana Meadows are members of the Western Sustainability Exchange. As their website states:
“WSE advances sound stewardship practices which create a healthy environment, culture and economy for the rural West.  Through education, the creation of economic incentives and by fostering partnerships we accomplish this mission. The shared philosophies below unite our organization. They ground us, inspire us, focus our programs and mission and guide our organizational practices.”

Do you or your company need labels like this, that meet USDA standards? If so, give us a ring at 800-930-7978, or feel free to get a quote. We can definitely help you out. Now, I wonder if they would send us some beef samples…might make for a tasty, conscious-friendly BBQ.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no, it’s your business card.

Business cards come in all shapes and sizes, and unique cards are always a good conversation starter. This card from NB Signs & Designs definitely falls under the creative category; it has an origami look about it, yet provides just enough necessary info to technically be a business card. And you thought your rounded corner business card was cool…

Customer Showcase: Don’t worry, I won’t eat your book.

Bookmarks are a great multi-use piece: they ‘mark’ where you stopped reading, and can be a great way to get information in front of people. Colorful, interesting or unique bookmarks do catch the eye, and Printing for Less customer Kathy Miller, of Chippy Chipmunk, definitely made a bookmark that stands out, by having you look eye-to-eye with a chipmunk, and find out about her books. Don’t worry, he won’t bite.

Printing for Less Customer Project Showcase: Not just a flat football

Event announcements are a great way to get the word out, and generate buzz and interest about the event, your company or product. Most of us have seen some good, some bad, some just boring. Who wants to attend an event when you see a ho-hum invite or announcement?
Drinker Biddle & Reath, a Printing for Less customer, recently printed up a very cool-looking piece that is easy to spot, recognizable and is a fun way to announce an annual football event. Football fans will gravitate towards it, and it begs to be opened. Go long…
