The piece was printed in four spot colors (3 grays, including a metallic, and an orange) on both sides, diecut and then finished with silver tone eyelets to allow the wheels to move around the center. You just dial in the size you want, and get the info you need.

Serious thanks to Andrew Dembitz at Unisource for including us in the show and giving us the impetus to create this fun piece! We do have some left, so if you’re in the market for small-run custom envelope conversion, shoot us an email.

We’ve taken over a mostly unused warehouse space in the Chicago Press Corp building at Division and Homan Streets. Our new space is about 40% bigger, so of course we’re filling it up with new equipment. Details on that to come!

It’s a more open floor plan, so we were able to think about proper workflow rather than just where something would fit. Being able to actually plan a blank-slate space was both exciting and overwhelming; moving more than 45 tons of equipment, on the other hand, was mostly just overwhelming. We never had a single down day, though; every business day over the whole four-week process, we were printing in one location or the other.

We’re still settling in (what? You mean these boxes won’t unpack themselves?), and the phone/fax situation is still sorting itself out (thanks, AT&T), but we’re awfully proud of the new space and enjoy showing it off….hint hint. And while we do miss our lunchtime walks to Trader Joe’s, we’re discovering all the great food in our new surroundings. Jibaritos, anyone?
