I was looking for just the right envelope to incorporate into my packaging. It had to be a specific size, and I wanted it in kraft paper. I also wanted a button and twine enclosure. Bonus points if I could pick my button color.
After endless Internet searches, enter Fire Hound Press 133. They had exactly the type of envelope I wanted and I could pick the button color - but - they didn't have the size I needed. I reached out to Sherree to see if she could make a custom size for me, it was then that we realized that we were neighbors! Well, neighbors by Texas standards; she's in Fort Worth and I'm in the Dallas area. She said she'd give it a go and proceeded to make the largest envelope she's ever made and mailed me a sample. I loved it! It was exactly what I wanted.
We started a conversation and before you knew it we were swapping services; two small businesses supporting one another. We had fun styling the lay-flat product photos of her gorgeous letter-press products and while she was in the studio, we also snapped a few headshots too!

While we're at it, headshots too!
Sherree's attention to attention to detail and quality of her products is unmatched, I can see why Fire Hound Press 133 is taking off and I loved her idea to wear her printer's apron for her business portraits!
I'm a Customer!
This isn't Hair Club for Men, but I'm a customer too! I absolutely LOVE my new envelopes; the letter press design of my logo is clear and crisp and the kraft paper and orange buttons match the natural, organic style of my packaging perfectly!
