On chipboard, no less!
Sire Press is an independent, DIY company made of “artists, musicians, professionals, and straight up awesome people,” specializing in short run CD/DVD duplication and packaging, often featuring their great screen printing work! It began as a one man show in Philadelphia, PA with owner, Chris Romano, hand creating and assembling all client projects himself. Now, Chris is no longer so lonely, he’s in a bigger location and has some really great past work in the Sire Press portfolio. They were kind enough to send over a project they worked on recently – a business card for Shannon Ferguson!
What they had to say about the project:
We love screen printing! We are mostly a CD/DVD Duplication Company, but every now and then a client sees the light and asks us to screen print a project for them. We had the luxury of both being able to design and screen print this one. This time around we used a ‘dirty’ screen in order to get a series of random wear marks in the red layer. Each business card appears to be worn in different areas of the reels. I also love the imperfection in the recycled paper used and how the red ink shows up brighter on top of the white and darker when it’s printed directly on the chipboard. This happens a little bit on the left side of the reels.
