Ten pieces, each one marked.

Pasondia Cables was exhibiting at a trade expo in 2025 and wanted 600 giveaways in which nothing was generic. So every piece carries the mark: the jute-net backpack, the cork notebook, the seed-paper notebook, the coaster set, the bamboo flask, the tube of pencils, the tube of incense, the cork pen stand, and a preserved-botanical vial on a cork base in its own tube.

One mark, four ways of putting it on.

A kit this size is really four jobs. Jute and paper take ink. Cork takes a heated die. Bamboo takes a laser. The tube sleeves are printed flat and wrapped. The mark has to look like the same mark in all four, which means redrawing it slightly for each: a little heavier for the deboss, a little lighter for the engraving.

The vial is the piece people remember. Preserved moss and a dried flower in glass, corked, on a cork base, in a tube with a care note. It needs no water and sits on a desk for years.
