Jacki Paper Gumball Collection

January 29, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Jacki Paper just launched their new Gumball Collection, which features candy colored, offset printed greeting cards that are the perfect compliment to the letterpress cards in the Jacki Paper lineup.

The Gumball Collection evokes the same sense of kidhood fun as Jacki Paper’s previous collections, alluding to 70’s and 80’s favorites like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I want an oompa loompa NOW!), Viewfinders, Marco Polo, and Simon. Cards are printed on 100% recycled paper with soy and vegetable inks. Check out more from the collection and see where you can purchase Jacki Paper’s cards here.
