Using exceptionally thick, premium paper—Taiwan's most exquisite, Crystal Diamond paper— and heavy imported art paper so substantial that a folded paper airplane wouldn't fly. Especially at a time when air freight costs have risen and some papers are out of stock due to raw material shortages, each sheet is incredibly precious. These heavy art papers even prompted the skilled artisans, who expertly fold and glue the envelopes, to remark: "Is this red envelope meant for gold bars? It carries so much sentiment! (Laughs)" "It's so thick, only someone who works out regularly could fold it." "I need to buy a pack for myself later!" The playful, winding snakes, each with its own distinct personality, wish you a prosperous Year of the Dragon, where you can achieve whatever you desire. Three types of art paper: Taiwanese Neutral Crystal Diamond Paper (120g/m2) -- Features tiny, subtle sparkles, like countless fine stardust in a galaxy. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50779017171_2727c17565_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50778253983_85ce47e7f3_b.jpg Japanese Takeo Masako (140g/m2) -- Offers a unique tactile sensation, blending the softness of fabric with the resilience of paper! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53398719291_f9556ab90a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53399043834_477b86eb10_b.jpg UK Matter/Curious Matter Paper (135g/m2) -- Possesses a slightly rough texture, akin to an aroma stone, with a matte, understated warmth. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50778253878_c9d2b8ab7f_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50779128227_c6d4e44e1a_b.jpg 4 exclusive foil colors for hot stamping, offering diverse combinations: Burgundy Red / Matte Gold / Graphite Black / Flat White Burgundy Red Bright Foil -- Noble and festive, a favorite among elders. Matte Gold -- To attract wealth this Lunar New Year, remember to include lucky money. The various gold foils shimmer with different luster depending on the light and angle, offering a subtly radiant beauty. Hot stamping is a traditional craft that demands a delicate balance of time, temperature, and pressure. Only masters intimately familiar with the machinery and possessing decades of experience can perfectly translate a designer's vision. This ancient technique, contrasting with the rapid, high-volume printing of modern machines, delivers a distinct texture. We are grateful for Taiwan's community of master artisans who quietly uphold this beautiful, story-rich, and increasingly rare yet vibrant craft. The paper thickness varies, requiring manual adjustments to the machine's pressure and temperature. Witness the master artisan meticulously confirming the template's position, then swiftly feeding and retrieving the paper— a motion so rapid, it's as if hundreds of thousands are exchanged in a second, too fast even for a blink before the next sheet is processed! The scene is too beautiful to behold. (I worried about the master's fingers getting caught, but he was so skilled he could chat with me.) The rhythm of each stamped impression is incredibly therapeutic. https://youtube.com/shorts/wXz3lDUoX2Y?feature=share These red envelopes are the culmination of many individuals' dedication. From folding and gluing to the final shaping, each envelope is handcrafted. A set that brings joy to the buyer and even greater joy to the recipient. Produced in limited quantities annually, they are non-restocked once sold out – purchase early for peace of mind!

Design/Production Origin: Taiwan Craftsmanship: Die-cutting / Hot Stamping / Handmade Gluing and Forming Gentle Reminder: As these are handcrafted printed works, there may be slight imperfections or minor unsharpness in the hot-stamped areas. Small variations due to differing pressure areas, much like how we are all the same yet uniquely different. We advise those who prefer perfectly uniform designs to consider carefully before ordering.
