King's Fish House

This weekend was my wife's birthday and instead of our same routine of restaurants we decided to try something new.
We live in Bonita so we have really been enjoying the new Otay Ranch shopping center, it's loaded with great restaurants and stores. I'm sorry all I remember are the restaurants & REI you'll have to ask my wife about the shops.
Alright back to the point, so we have been really wanting to try King's Fish House and Nicole's birthday was the perfect time. Our group ordered the Costa Rican Tilapia, Coconut Mexican Shrimp, California Yellowtail and Bowties with Chicken. We tried it all and it was great! I love fish and the Yellowtail & Tilapia we're awsome. Everyone agreed that we will definitely be back. I highly recommend that you try King's Fish House.

Stationery Package Gets Notice

Above is a Letterpress stationery package we produced for Miriello Grafico that was recently in

Step Inside Design magazine. The package features custom business cards, letterhead and envelopes. The highlights include a custom #10 vertical envelope with tear tab and duplexed business cards with custom die cut. All of the piece's were printed 2 color + a hit of Gloss Varnish. You can see the hints of Varnish on the Brown side of the business cards.

While this isn't our first time having a piece in Step Inside Design it's always great to see our work being shown. Below is a link to their website and the article where is was featured in the top 100 self promo piece's. I do have some samples of the envelopes and business cards, email me if you are interested in seeing them.

Red Bull Collectible Card Pics + Details

Here are some of the Collectible Cards we recently printed for the Red Bull Air Races. There are 18 versions of the cards, 15 pilots and 3 planes to make a complete set. The cards are printed on 16 point Carolina Coated Cover, 4 color 2 sides with Soy based ink, Spot UV Coating on the front and back of the cards plus the Red Bull logo on all 18 cards is Metallic Silver foil stamping.

I'm a bad photographer so its hard to see the Uv coating but when you move the cards around the light hits the coating showing the custom designs. The cards came out awesome and it really allowed us to show off our many capabilities.

Red Bull Suit Case Tags

This years Red Bull Air Races are just around the corner and DeFrance was fortunate enough to get some of the printing.

The complete finished product is a custom made suit case and enclosed is a Passport featuring all of the pilots, 18 Collectable Cards featuring the pilots & planes, a USB port and then to close the case is a luggage tag. We assisted with producing the Luggage Tags and Collectable Cards.

The above pictures are of the luggage tags. They are 4 colors 2 sides on 100# Sterling Gloss Book, after printing them we laminated 2 sides with a 1.5 mil matte lamination. This is to protect the tags from tearing when you fold them around the case handle. The tags were also die cut allowing them to fold around and lock around the handle.

We have more pictures of the tags in different production stages, let me know if you are interested is seeing more.

I will feature the collectable cards soon so keep an eye out.

What's New at DeFrance?

It's been over a week since I have posted anything and have to admit coming up with worthy material can be tough. The funny thing is, the beginning of March has been extremely busy and full of great work there just hasn't been time to post it. I will though, soon.

Some highlights of March so far:

Red Bull Air Races- Here they come again, second race of the series will be held in San Diego on May 9th & 10th. DeFrance was fortunate enough to produce some of the work for this years race. The pieces are amazing and we can't wait to show them off.

Parker White- DeFrance as part of the Red Bull job began a new relationship with Parker White who created and designed the pieces. Their firm is located in Cardiff, Ca. in an old Church, they call "The Sanctuary". They create beautiful work and we can't wait for the next project.
