This Christmas, we decide to send out some extra love by printing our own handmade, silkscreen shopping bags for clients, friends, and our friendly neighbourhood baker.

Getting the silkscreen mesh

 

it took a few attempts to figure out the right technique to achieve a smooth finish. thanks to neng who’s our resident printmaker in TSL who’s an old hand at this, we didn’t end up with too many spoiled bags.

Bag in Progress

 

the whole process took some sweaty nights, late night dinners, and massive back stretching after, but it was all worth it when we saw these on our desks:

Freshly wrapped

And here’s how we get our own mojo going here at The Salt Lab – some ideas for filling your sack with freshness this Christmas:

  1. Talk to your plants.
  2. Crunch your fortune cookie.
  3. Wear the right socks.
  4. Clean up your desktop.
  5. Keep it underground.
  6. Groove on, doop-de-doo.
  7. Remember your inner rockstar.
  8. Get on board Yeti Airlines once in your life.

here’s wishing everyone a merry Christmas and their freshest year yet from all of us at TSL!
