From its inception five years ago, the Seasonal Greetings Art Collection has remained true to its core features. The cards are designed to fit within a dimension of 150 x 150 mm, accompanied by an envelope with a tear-off strip. What sets these cards apart is the inclusion of a transparent greetings sheet, allowing recipients to write personal messages while keeping the card pristine.
One of the standout features of the Seasonal Greetings Art Collection is the unique stand-up design. Inspired by paper art folding and cutting techniques, the circular shape of the artwork is made to protrude from its background. Folding dimples create a three-dimensional effect, giving the card a captivating visual appeal.
To reproduce the vivid colors of the original artworks, special inks are used in the printing process. Additionally, an extra layer of varnish is applied to enhance the saturation of the image. The result is a stunning representation of the artist's vision, bringing the artwork to life on the card.
The Seasonal Greetings Art Collection is meticulously crafted using off-set printing technology. The envelope is made from Takeo Vasonubo V White 104 kg paper, while the card itself is printed on Takeo Vasonubo V White 163 kg paper. The greetings sheet is made from transparent paper, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.
Since its launch in 2015, the Seasonal Greetings Art Collection has become a cherished tradition for recipients. The cards not only serve as a gesture of appreciation but also create a small art collection over time. With each passing year, recipients add another unique piece to their collection, further strengthening the bond between sender and recipient.
The Seasonal Greetings Art Collection has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2019, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration, and Visual Communication Design category. This accolade highlights the creativity and ingenuity of the design, which incorporates best practices in art, science, design, and technology.
As the Seasonal Greetings Art Collection enters its fifth year, it continues to captivate recipients with its unique design and heartfelt message. These cards are not just a simple greeting; they are a testament to the power of art and the importance of nurturing lasting relationships.
