McTavish Surfboards business cards

A unique limited edition run of business cards commissioned for the master craftsmen at McTavish surfboards in Byron Bay. Designed to illustrate the authenticity of the surfboard manufacturing process the designer, Matt Ireland, was seeking something raw and rustic. Each card was created from the factory offcuts of old order forms, waste paper, masking tape and tiny chunks of resin into individual cards by the highly respected paper artist Kate Ford. https://www.instagram.com/katefordartist

Letterpress printed in a transparent white ink and dense black on two sides on our ever reliable 1965 Heidelberg platen press by Wayne Davis.
