We like a good orange and blue ink.
That is why we asked Sailor, a manufacturer of wonderful pens and much loved inks, to make two inks for us. Fortunately they agreed and once we approved the color samples, the waiting began. Now the inks are here, we are very delighted how these came out.
We chose for a label with some sort of touch from The Netherlands with the tulips on the label. Even though tulips don’t originate from here, they are very much associated with our country and a flower on a label makes it just a little different.
As for the colors. The orange is of a dark shade and not too bright, for the blue we opted for a slightly light blue so the two colors would be nice together.
