[For appreciation only] Red envelope bag for the Year of the Pig

Kuroda Design Letterpress Printing [Pig Life Polka Dot Red Envelope Bag] A set of 6 in three colors A blockbuster work that embodies ancient craftsmanship + Mesozoic design + youthful fluorescent rose color. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4893/46761814621_a6f6dfe6c6_b.jpg In addition to the traditional red color, there are also fluorescent rose and happy Peach, which are more powerful than Big Ice Milk to attract peach blossom lucky charms. Fill this 💵 and put it under your pillow during the Chinese New Year, and it will bring good luck for the whole year! (The editor firmly believes in the urban legend that red envelopes must be placed under the pillow. This must be done every year! I feel happy~) Extra thick paper, the kind of heavy imported art paper that won’t fly when folded into paper airplanes. Mr. Kuroda, the design manager of KurodaDesign, is more determined than last year. In order to pursue the aesthetics in his heart, Not only did I choose a variety of colors, fibers, and thicknesses (120/160/180g/㎡ respectively) imported art paper (came by plane), A total of three patterns have been designed this year. (If you want to collect the complete set, please click here👉🏽 https://www.pinkoi.com/product/zLEtfk6s ) As long as each pattern has different colors, You must make a separate template! So how many red envelope boards were made in total this time? Those who are interested can count it themselves XD https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7824/46761814851_c0509399af_b.jpg “Toppan printing” is currently rare in the industry. But there is still a group of people who are quietly fascinated by this beautiful, story-filled, declining but energetic craft. The old master uses an old manual machine that is very rare in Taiwan. Cans of ink in round iron boxes are mixed with a scraper and an eye with 50 years of experience. The color of the same pink milk ink will also change due to different paper colors. After printing on pigeon blood red paper, switch to fluorescent rose paper. I had to adjust the ink again, and I was inexplicably moved when I saw the master squinting his eyes to adjust the color. The master said: When I get old and can no longer see clearly and can no longer print, no one will be able to use this machine... (a touch of sadness) https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4891/31718207037_f91b96993a_c.jpg 👆🏽The master is mixing colors, not making crepes. Look at these fine arms. They are the result of years of manual printing one by one. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7836/31718212167_aa720a9552_b.jpg 👆🏽Keep trying colors! Different colors of backing paper have different ink rendering results. Each part with different colors and patterns is an independent board. So each red envelope bag of <Pig Life Polka Dot Style> needs to be stamped four times. If there are 500 copies, the master will do the same action 2,000 times! ! ! In addition, the thickness of the paper is different, and the pressure of the machine has to be adjusted manually. (I feel so tired) I saw the master manually correcting colors, rolling ink, and carefully confirming the position of the template one by one. Then feed and withdraw paper at a very fast speed, This movement is really so fast that it can reach hundreds of thousands per second and before you even have time to blink, you have already replaced the next piece of paper! The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it~ (I was very afraid that the master’s hand would be pinched, but he was very skilled and could still chat with me) https://youtu.be/48LilQJwC-s 👆🏽The rhythm of stamping one by one is very healing The red envelope bag is made with the hard work of many people. A set of red envelopes that makes the person who buys happy and the person who receives it even happier. It is released in limited quantities every year, no replacements will be made when sold out, so buy early and be assured of peace of mind! Design/Production Origin: Taiwan Construction method: hot stamping/relief printing Warm reminder: For hand-printed works, each hot stamping part may have slightly unsharp edges. Color differences caused by different ink pressures are just like us, and we are all different. Those who like ink to be super even and consistent are advised to place orders with caution~ Also, the photos may have color differences due to different light sources, color temperatures or screen settings when shooting. The actual color is subject to the actual product. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7834/46708986182_8eec4281bf_b.jpg
