Gorgeous Merchandise to Accompany an Awesome Anthology!

It wouldn’t be a Duck Prints Press crowdfunding campaign if we didn’t have super cool merchandise to accompany our spectacular anthology of outside-the-binary characters exploring aetherpunk worlds, Aether Beyond the Binary. We worked with some really awesome creators this time, and we’re so excited to share the art they’ve done and the merch we’ll be making with it!

Hologram Plant-Loving Robot Sticker: this adorable plant-watering bot graces the back cover of the wrap-around cover by Mar Spragge, and they and the plants they’re watering will sparkle and shine on this rectangular, shimmery, holographic sticker. 4 in x 4 in/10.25 cm x 10.25 cm. (Printed by Vograce)

Aether Music Magic Bookmark: this lovely glossy bookmark features artwork by Pippin Peacock on the front and the signatures of the contributors to Aether Beyond the Binary on the back. 2 in x 7 in/5 cm x 17.75 cm. (Printed by UPrinting)

Aether Dux Die-Cut Sticker: it wouldn’t be a Duck Prints Press anthology without a custom Dux designed by Alessa Riel. Dux is our non-binary company mascot, and for this campaign they’re decked out with crystals and machinery and ready for aether flight. 3 in x 3 in/7.5 cm x 7.5 cm. (Printed by Vograce)

Non-Binary Sky Whale Enamel Pin: this lovely pin depicts a celestial whale moving through a starscape, with the non-binary gender sign dangling by a chain from they’re mouth. The artwork for this pin is by Atomic Pixies. 2 in x 2 in/5 cm x 5 cm. (Manufactured by Alchemy)

BONUS MERCHANDISE! That adorable plant-loving robot? We’ll be making it into a key chain as our Patron-exclusive extra! All $10/month and $25/month patrons who also back the campaign will get this cutie to hang from their keys!

Our campaign, which launches on December 26th 2023 (four days from when this post goes up – soooooon!) will include backer levels with all this merch, and also pick-and-choose add-on options. We’re also offering a trade paperback AND a premium hardcover edition of this book – our first anthology published as a hardcover! There’s loads of other add-ons too – our past anthologies (as e-books or in print!), a short story bundle of works by Aether Beyond the Binary contributors, 5 (FIVE!!!) of the adorable dux plushies by EmpowerFantasy Plush, one-of-a-kind wands by Alessa Riel, and more.

We’re days away from launch – follow our pre-launch page and get notified when the campaign goes live!

hi inari! i saw your ferdibert 12 moons zine on twitter, it really is so beautiful! can i ask what company you used to produce the physical zine and custom box? i am interested in making custom boxes for a birthday event and would love to know where you had them made. thank you very much in advance!

Hello! Thank you, I'm so glad you like the book and box!! I'll gladly share!! 💕

.

.

The books are printed with Gorham Printing. They're US-based and have very professional and sweet staff! High quality books with very few imperfections. Working with them was honestly a blessing lol

I just have to share this sweet comment my representative had about our book 😆

.

.

The boxes are printed with Uprinting. Their speciality is boxes and you can customize any size you like! There's a common question people get confused with. The size you enter is the interior size, not the exterior, as the cardboard has thickness! For example, if you want a box that's 6x6x3, the inside will be those exact dimensions and the exterior will appear a bit larger than that!

.

Hope this helps on your next project!! ✨️

PSA for Small Businesses!

If you are a small business owner (like working on selling things from home on Etsy or in a small mom/pop store) you probably have a budget - a Reaallllyyyy tight budget, and that tight budget is being stretched too thin by spending on all the extra little upcharges from your printing supplier (things like rounded corners or a retail hole punch)

so listen up because Cryptids Don't Gatekeep - especially tips and tricks that can help out our other small business colleagues!

so go from this: a standard card you can get from a printing company (Vistaprint is common, though this is from Uprint) and go to this instead;

Beautiful rounded corners and a professional retail peg hole punch - perfect for actually being in retail stores or on a nice display at your local market or convention!

Don't wanna pay the absurd upcharge fees every time? Good, you don't have to! Buy the freaking punches/cutters online and do it yourself! It's a (much cheaper) one time purchase and then you can do it whenever! I got mine from Amazon as that was the best option available to me, but you can check out other specialty/stationary stores too!

Here's the little contraption that rounds out those pesky sharp corners (it has 3 different size options too!)

and here's a close up of that nice perfect rounded edge! Took a fraction of a second!

Here's the cool specialty retail hole punch thing-a-ma-jig

and for bonus tips here's the little adhesive tape thingy I use to stick my products onto the hanging cards (I kinda like this one, but I might try other ones in the future to see if any are better - sometimes the glue stuff has trouble rolling out and I have to re-do a section to get it to work)

And voila! You did it! You're ready to have the best display at your convention or hit the big leagues and provide professional merch at physical stores.

Go forth! Make things! Save money! Make money! Drool over rounded corners!

love,

-Cryptid

Heya! Thanks for sharing a bit of your selfpub journey. I'd like to know how you managed the pre-order gifts? I'd like to do something like that, but I don't know how to technically do it. Thanks for your answer! @winglesswriter

Of course!

I did both pre-order gifts and ARC distros before the actual release. Because I wanted to give ARC readers a one-month lead, I decided to announce pre-orders two months out. I figured announcing them at different times would avoid confusion between the two options (get the ebook free w/ no gift, or pre-order the book and get a gift).

Here's how I handled the pre-order prep:

5ish months before release: design the gifts. for me, that was a sticker and a bookmark, since those can fit in a standard envelope. (for ARMV, I also painted a watercolor and turned it into a PDF as a digital gift. for TSS, I gave the first three chapters as a digital gift.)

4 months before release: order the stickers and bookmarks. for this recent release, I ordered my stickers through CustomSticker and my bookmarks through UPrinting. I do recommend these companies, I had good experiences with them.

3 months before release: set up the pre-order gift sign-up form through CognitoForms. The buyer only needs to enter their name, email, and physical address (email for digital gift, physical address for sticker and bookmark). I marked all fields as optional in case they don't want both types of gifts.

2 months before release: announce pre-order gifts via website, newsletter, and social media. make sure you have envelopes, stamps, and cards if you want to write a personal note!

Obviously, there are ways you can make this easier on yourself. You could:

order gifts that someone else has designed (etsy, redbubble, etc.)

do digital-only gifts to cut down on gift and postage costs

do physical-only gifts to cut down on what you're juggling

For me, I knew I wanted them to be custom gifts, so I was willing to put in the extra time and effort. I was operating at a loss, but honestly whatever. It's my launch, I'll do what I want with it, and what I want is Fun Things.

Make Your Mark: Stand Out with Custom Beer Labels for Your Brewery

Welcome to our blog post! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to help you make your brewery stand out from the crowd. In today's competitive market, it's crucial for breweries to establish a unique brand identity, and one powerful way to do that is through custom beer labels. 

In this blog post, we will explore the importance of customised beer labels, discuss how to choose the right label design, compare DIY versus professional label printing, address compliance considerations, showcase the power of storytelling through beer labels, and provide practical tips for designing memorable labels. So, let's dive in and learn how you can make your mark in the brewing industry!

Why Custom Beer Labels Matter

In a saturated market, custom beer labels are essential for breweries to differentiate themselves. Your label is often the first point of contact with potential customers, and it's crucial to make a memorable impression. 

Custom labels allow you to communicate your brand's story, values, and personality to consumers, helping them connect with your beers on a deeper level.

Choosing the Right Label Design

When choosing a design for your custom beer labels, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. First, think about your target audience. What appeals to them? What will make them pick up your bottle from the shelf? 

Secondly, consider your brand identity. Your label should reflect the essence of your brewery and the values you hold dear. Lastly, think about your packaging requirements. Will your labels be applied to bottles, cans, or both? Consider the shape and size of the container when designing your labels.

To make your beer labels truly stand out, consider incorporating unique illustrations, typography, or color schemes that align with your brewery's vision. Experiment with different design elements to find a style that captures your brand's personality and resonates with your target audience.

DIY vs. Professional Label Printing

When it comes to printing your custom beer labels, you have the option of doing it yourself or hiring a professional printing service. Both options have their pros and cons. DIY printing gives you full control over the process, allowing you to experiment and make changes on the fly. 

However, it may require a significant investment in equipment, materials, and time. On the other hand, professional printing services offer high-quality materials, expertise in label design, and time-saving advantages. They can ensure your labels are printed flawlessly, leaving you with more time to focus on other aspects of your brewery.

If you decide to go with professional printing, it's essential to choose a reputable label printing company that specializes in custom beer labels. Look for testimonials and samples of their work to ensure their quality meets your standards. Some popular label printing companies include Avery, UPrinting, and StickerYou.

Compliance Considerations

When designing your beer labels, it's crucial to consider compliance with legal requirements and regulations. Depending on your location, there may be specific rules regarding alcohol content disclosure, health warnings, and other labeling standards. 

Research local regulations or consult with an expert to ensure your labels are compliant. Non-compliance can result in fines, recalls, and damage to your brewery's reputation. It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to compliance.

Tips for Designing Memorable Beer Labels

Designing memorable beer labels requires a combination of creativity and strategy. Here are some practical tips to help you create labels that leave a lasting impression:

Use bold graphics: Eye-catching graphics can instantly grab attention and make your labels stand out on the shelf. Experiment with unique illustrations or patterns that reflect your brand's personality.

Compelling copywriting: Craft a compelling and concise message for your beer labels. Use clever, memorable taglines or descriptions that entice consumers to give your beer a try.

Attention-grabbing details: Consider adding unique finishing touches to your labels, such as embossing, foil stamping, or textured materials. These small details can make a significant impact on the overall aesthetics of your labels.

Seek feedback: During the design process, don't be afraid to seek feedback from others in the industry or your target consumers. Their insights can provide valuable perspectives and help you refine your label design.

Conclusion:

Custom beer labels are a powerful tool for making your brewery stand out in a crowded market. By carefully considering your label design, choosing the right printing method, ensuring compliance, and showcasing your brand story, you can create memorable labels that resonate with consumers. Remember to experiment, seek feedback, and stay true to your brewery's unique identity. 

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog post. We are excited to be a part of your journey and look forward to helping you succeed. Cheers!

Aether Beyond the Binary Merch Spotlight: Bookmark

For our final Aether Beyond the Binary spotlight, we’re taking a peek at the campaign bookmark! This will be produced by UPrinting on sturdy paper with a gloss finish, and completed with a golden tassel. We’ve produced six past bookmarks with them, and they’ve all turned out gorgeous (you can see them all here).

The gorgeous campaign bookmark features art by non-binary artist Pippin Peacock (@migglangelus), who has also done bookmark art to accompany our anthologies She Wears the Midnight Crown and He Bears the Cape of Stars. The color palette is inspired by the non-binary pride flag (yellow, white, purple, black) and the genderqueer pride flag (purple, white, green). The back will include the signatures of the anthology contributors: we can’t gather everyone together to get all 17 people to sign the book, but we CAN compile reproductions somewhere at least!

Close up on the aether musician:

For backers at the “+ Merch” backer levels of the Aether Beyond the Binary Kickstarter, this bookmark is included in what they’ll receive! It can also be added to any backer level that includes a physical item, so if you’re interested in ordering the book but don’t want all the merch, you can get just the book plus picking and choosing what you’d like!

In case you missed them, here are the other merchandise spotlights we’ve done for this campaign:

Plant-Watering Bot Holographic Sticker

Non-Binary Sky Whale Enamel Pin

Aether Dux Sticker and Other Dux Merch (We still have one Dux plushie add-on left – just sayin’…)

Become a Kickstarter backer today, and get an amazing book of stories starring outside-the-binary characters and a bunch of gorgeous merch! Win-win!

“Uprinting Food” by Elzelinde van Doleweerd

Having recognized the vast quantity of food that is wasted each day, boiled rice in particular, Elzelinde Van Doleweerd conjured up a solution to reduce the amount of food that is unnecessarily and often nonchalantly thrown away. 

By boiling and mixing the ingredients together, followed by intensive grounding and sieving, a paste is created! 

The paste can then be transformed into stunning and mesmerizing 2D geometric shapes or crafted into 3D objects such as plates and bowls. 

Once baked they become completely dehydrated, resulting in a food that can be enjoyed for a long time to come!
