Christmas comes early...

Well, that's not quite true as these lovely cards are actually from last year, but I didn't receive copies until later, so it never seemed the right time to write about Christmas!

These gatefold cards are A5 (210x148mm) and are printed offset litho in CMYK plus a metallic gold special on our Omnia 320gsm. Below is a birdseye view...
The below image is the inside of the card, laid out flat...

The above picture shows the outside, laid out flat, showing the die cut which represents the "doors" to the Gin Shop. The card is embossed and printed with a tinted gloss UV varnish. Unlike most uncoated products, you can successfully gloss UV varnish on Omnia (with a single hit) and it works really well - as you can see in the below pic...

In the same way, Omnia also really works with metallic inks, this really does look gold  and not a dirty brown (which can happen on other uncoated papers!) as you can see below...
Omnia is a really bulky board and this has been beautifully creased.
