The items, all printed and finished by Team, include foil blocked business cards, information and gift cards, die-cut clothing tags, foil blocked and die-cut envelopes, letterheads, postcards and a self-collapsing box. And to give that extra element of Italian luxuriousness, all the items were printed on the wonderfully tactile Fedrigoni Century Cotton Wove. As the Italians would say – Bellissima!
