TWO Piglets is a very very small image house, located in the very, very small city of South Pasadena, California, minutes away from the very, very large city of Los Angeles. We now do all letterpress work at our new studio in Alhambra, California. They design, produce and distribute letterpressed greeting cards, invitations of sorts and other fun stuff, to this very, very small world, using the very, very large world wide web. Greeting and invitation cards are all produced here in California using their four letterpresses. The products are then cut using a hand guillotine paper cutter. The apparel products are all silkscreened by a local master printer and the original garment materials are sweatshop free. The cards are all pressed using soy ink (may contain some nut oils) onto beautiful Bristol paper that contains 30 percent post-consumer recycled fiber. They don't use hormones or antibiotics in their products. The paper and soy ink combination make them inkjet and laser compatible. Presses are cleaned using ordinary and simple vegetable oil, instead of harsh and non-edible smog-causing solvents. Most scrap cards are shredded into packing materials for wholesale shipment. Some are used to press our insert sheets, which are enclosed with the cards. Finally, most shipping cartons are re-used boxes that are gathered from local retailers of sorts. Besides, they think it's quite funny to send cards to stores using, say, a beef soup carton. Unlike the beef soup, all Two Piglets products are low in sodium and MSG free! The cards retail from $3.50 to $5.00 depending on locations - this is up to each store. Visit http://www.twopiglets.com for stores that stock cards, or fax: 626-576-0734, or write to: 701 S Date Ave, Alhambra, CA 91803. |
