The box packaging is printed using antique letterpress machines dating back to the 1960’s - with six layers of vibrant color, embossed for a unique tactile sensation. The front face features the Skull & Roses at center, with custom composition surrounding. Every aspect of the cards is 100% American-made, using FSC-certified hemp fiber paper for the card box. The cards are securely sealed - with an ivory matte sticker featuring the Stealie skull.
