Iona
IONA Cards has launched milliontrillion™ a new
range of six designs for birthdays and six blank,
along with a selection of gift tags.
Initially introduced as a range of greeting cards,
milliontrillion™ can also be applied across range
of products from giftwrap and stationery, to toys
and soft furnishings. All images are available for
licensing.
All cards are printed on FSC-approved
board with high gloss aqueous varnish, (which
requires far less energy), individually wrapped in
compostable cellos (which are fully biodegradable)
and all supplied in recyclable envelopes, (made from 100% recycled fi bres), to a fi nished size
146mm x 146mm. Spinners are also available.
“milliontrillion™ is a bold, bright, colourful playground for hundreds and thousands of
characters to make friends and have fun,” says Debbie Hirst of Iona. They may be small, but
there’s lots of them!”
