the piece:
the letterpress and digitally printed wedding shower invitations (8.3125″ x 4.5625″). The host wanted ‘something fun and bright, maybe with the bride and groom’s name on the truck.’ The resulting invitation features a custom die cut in the shape of a food truck for a memorable and whimsical piece. The main text is letterpress printed in 205U and surrounded by a digitally printed frame and additional details in 583, 5523 and 205. Thick 2-ply stock is soft and showcases the impression of the letterpress. The striped liner picked up on the 205 and 5523 used on the invite for a cohesive finishing touch.
