Folding Card in Die-Cut Snip Snap Crab

A folding card with die-cut crab silhouette – printed in Berlin using offset printing on 240-gram card stock, finished with foil stamping. The die-cut gives the card its distinctive shape: when you open it, the crab's outline unfolds instead of presenting a plain rectangular form. A matching envelope is included.

Features

• Die-cut crab silhouette: The outer contour of the card follows the silhouette of the design – the full shape only reveals itself when opened. A showstopper on envelopes, tables or shelves at first glance.
• Foil stamping: Selected image elements are finished with metallic foil that shimmers depending on the light. This creates a tactile effect you can feel with your finger – a subtle relief, smooth surface, warm lustre.
• 240-gram card stock: Sturdy, substantial paper weight that gives the die-cut card body and stability. Doesn't crease easily, feels substantial in hand.
• Offset printing, Berlin: Sharp colour reproduction through lithographic multi-colour printing – fine colour gradients and details remain precise. Locally produced in Berlin.
• Matching envelope included: Card and envelope are coordinated and delivered together – ready to send without hunting for the right format.

Use & Tips

• Gift card: As an enclosure with a present – the unusual shape makes the card itself a small keepsake worth keeping.
• Greeting card to post: The matching envelope is included, so simply write your message, add a stamp and send. The 240-gram paper handles postage without any problems.
• Writing with fountain pen or gel pen: The coated surface of offset card stock works well with fine-nib fountain pens and gel pens using water-based ink. When writing on the inside, it's best to wait a moment for the ink to dry completely.
• Decoration: The die-cut crab silhouette can be displayed or pinned to a noticeboard – the card also works as a small paper object.
• Summer occasions: Birthdays, holiday greetings, beach party invitations – the maritime motif suits warm weather and any kind of summer celebration.

For Paper Enthusiasts

The combination of die-cutting and foil stamping in offset printing is a skilled craft: the sheet must be precisely die-cut after printing, the foil is applied in a separate stamping step using heat. The 240-gram paper is heavy enough to keep the die-cut contour stable without frayed edges. Berlin production facilities specialising in this combination work with precision die-cutting tools – the edge of the crab silhouette is clean, with no rough spots.
