Tag Team Tompkins : A Mad Tea Party + More

// // 1 replies

Mad Tea Party Letterpress Print

It’s pretty well-established that I’m a huge fan of Tag Team Tompkins, and I always let out a little squee of excitement when I spot some new letterpress goodies in their shop. How Halloween-ishly awesome is this “A Mad Tea Party…” print?! I’m also completely jazzed about the new prints in their Dire Warnings series, available in either aqua/black or yellow/black. So super cool… and kind of scary, too.

Dire Warnings Letterpress Prints

Letterpress printing for Tag Team Tompkins is by Bob Atkins of Skylab Letterpress. Prints are on Mohawk Paper’s Antique Vellum with 100% post consumer waste content.

Letterpress Super Scoop Sundae

Letterpress Super Scoop Sundae Promo

Letterpress pairs so perfectly with so many things, and it turns out that ice cream just so happens to be one of those things. This swoon-worthy die cut and letterpress printed super scoop sundae piece was created by Brisbane, Australia-based design studio, Oblong + Sons, and printed by the always amazing The Hungry Workshop.

Oblong + Sons Promotional Piece

Here’s what Gemma from Oblong + Sons had to say about this super fun project:

We designed this super scoop sundae as a direct mail piece for clients, in celebration of our expanding capabilities and brand new website. The piece was beautifully letterpressed on thick, uncoated stock by The Hungry Workshop. There’s a scoop for each new service, and it’s die cut so that the scoops can easily pop out. This cute and playful treat invites its lucky recipients to interact and create their own custom ice cream by mixing and matching the flavours. It was a fun job to work on (as all self-promo pieces are!) and has been very well-received so far.

Letterpress Gift Tags

I am such a sucker for a pretty gift tag, and these lovelies by Copper Willow instantly caught my eye. The vibrant, patterned letterpress tags are available in a number of styles and feature a variety of sentiments, including “Happy Birthday”, “Good Luck”, “Best Wishes”, and “Congratulations”. What a wonderful finishing touch for a prettily packaged gift.
