Crem Road records - Workshop log

March 22, 2016

We got our first order on Saturday 12, one pack of 1 t shirst and 1 deluxe CD with handcrafted cover. A white t-shirt was ordered, and some glue and textile pen that were needed. The later arrived on Wednesday, and in the meanwhile the front and rear cover art had been designed and printed

The cover art sheets out of the printer, before they got cut

But we prepared a surprise for our customers : a one-sheet promotionnal fanzine with news from the label, Das Blatte

Das Blatte Issue 1 original handwritten sheet

And we copied it in order to have it shipping with our future orders

The first three copies of Das Blatte 1, meant to ship with our orders

The next step then was to cut the front and rear covert art

And to put the pictures in the transparent flexible plastic jackets
