Folded Condom Cases

Condom holders—for keeping a condom in your bag so you can find it easily but it won’t spill out at the coffee shop (oops!) when you reach for your keys. Letterpress-printed using wood and metal type with a Vandercook and Chandler & Price platen press on Plike paper.

Each has one of two message printed inside: “Safe is sexy & so are you!” and “Peace of mind is so hot!” The message is also printed on the container itself and abstracted by the folding technique that creates the pinwheel casing.
