The Reusable Christmas Card (Includes Video)
This week, PaperSpecsGallery.com presents the Reusable Christmas Card (they know the holiday is behind us but the next one is lurking just around the corner). For those among us who have made recycling an integral part of life, this Christmas card will definitely hold an appeal for you...and him...and her...and them...and her.
This unusual greeting is meant to be reused, sent from one recipient to the next, much like those internal office memo envelopes, only much more stylish.
The card was designed by Split Design and printed by The Print Project, both in the United Kingdom. The card uses a recycling symbol as the graphic shape for the tree, and it is printed letterpress on 100 percent recycled paper. The Christmas card includes labels for the new addresses and diecut circle stickers to seal the aluminum tin that holds the content.
