Binth There, Done That

Binth Stationery

Card sending can be such a thankless endeavor.

You spend five hours searching for the one. You settle for some boring thing with a pithy comment in a miniscule font. You slave over your note. And then the damn envelope won’t seal. What? Is your saliva subpar?

All this for a card that’s headed straight for the trash.

What you need is a desk-full of Binth stationery. The Chicago-based company uses a screen-printing process so refined, each card looks like a work of art. We love the mix of sophistication and irreverence (exotic flowers combined with kids’ alien drawings; burly men surrounded by butterflies).

They’re cards that may just end up framed on a wall.

And might even earn you a thank-you note for your good taste.

Let’s hope it’s from Binth.
