Using exceptionally thick paper, including Taiwan's most beautiful paper – Crystal Diamond Paper, and heavy imported art paper that wouldn't even fly if folded into a paper airplane. Especially at a time when air freight costs have increased, and some papers are already out of stock due to raw material shortages, each sheet of paper is incredibly precious. These substantial art papers even drew comments from the skilled artisans who fold and glue them: "Is this red envelope meant for gold bars? It's truly heavy with sentiment! (laughs)" "It's so thick, only those who are used to working out could fold it." "I need to buy a pack for myself too!" Playful, winding snakes, each with its own unique personality, wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Snake, turning fortunes around, and getting whatever you desire. Three types of artistic paper: Taiwanese Neutral Crystal Diamond Paper (120g/m2) -- Features extremely fine glitter, like countless tiny stardust in the galaxy. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50779017171_2727c17565_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50778253983_85ce47e7f3_b.jpg Japanese Takeo Masako Paper (140g/m2) -- Unique tactile feel, possessing the softness of fabric and 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) -- A subtly rough texture reminiscent of 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 specialized hot stamping foil colors, creating diverse combinations: Burgundy / Matte Gold / Graphite Black / Flat White Burgundy Gloss Foil – Noble and festive, a favorite among elders. Matte Gold – To attract wealth this Lunar New Year, remember to include lucky money. Various shades of gold foil shimmer with different glints depending on the light and angle, offering a subtly dazzling beauty. Hot stamping is a traditional craft that requires 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, contrasted with the speed of mass printing, presents a distinct texture. We are grateful for Taiwan's group of master artisans who silently uphold this beautiful, story-filled, and declining yet spirited craft. The different paper thicknesses necessitate manual adjustments to the machine's pressure and temperature. Watching the master meticulously confirm the template position by hand, then swiftly feed and retrieve the paper – the action is so rapid, it feels like hundreds of thousands are exchanged per second, too fast to even blink before the next sheet is processed! The scene is too beautiful to bear witness to~ (I was genuinely afraid the master's hand might get caught, but they were so skilled they could chat with me.) The rhythm of each pressed impression is incredibly soothing! https://youtube.com/shorts/wXz3lDUoX2Y?feature=share These red envelopes are the culmination of many individuals' hard work. Even the folding, gluing, and shaping are done by hand, one envelope at a time. A set that brings joy to the buyer and even more to the recipient. They are limited edition each year, and once sold out, they are gone forever. Purchase early for peace of mind!
