The product range includes individually designed greeting cards, custom-made boxes, cases and clipboards to customer specification, as well as own paper garlands, pom-poms, book corners, gift envelopes and costume jewellery. High-quality and unusual papers are used, including hand-made and printed Nepalese paper from the lokta plant, Japanese papers, Carta Varese and decorative papers from various manufacturers. The range also includes cards, boxes, leporellos, notebooks, booklets as well as decorative and packaging materials. Alongside well-known brands, smaller and local manufacturers are presented in particular. Customers are locals, tourists and online buyers from the European Union.
