A unique letterpress birthday invitation box set commissioned and designed by the incredibly creative team at Melbourne's event planner The Style Co.

The theme was a mad hatter's party and consisted of a box that opened up into series of letterpress printed doors with the event details revealed in the final door. The tiny handles, hinges and grass were all added after printing by the client. 

Letterpress printed on a 1969 Heidelberg KSBA small cylinder press by Wayne Davis.
