Archivist Owl Luxury Safety Matches Discount

Owl luxury safety matches look like they’ve come straight out of a Victorian illustrated wildlife guide. Keep the vibrant matchbox on display to show off the artwork and keep the matches handy when you need them.

The matches are approximately 10cm long – so you can finally get to the bottom of that pillar candle, jar or tealight holder without risking your fingers.

Please note: colours of the matches may vary from the image.

The matchboxes are designed and printed in the UK by Archivist. They use traditional letterpress printing – a technique that’s remained almost unchanged since Johannes Gutenberg first invented the printing press in the mid-15th century. An inked stamp or engraving is pressed onto a sheet of paper to reveal the design. The force with which the paper and stamp meet can leave indentations in the paper, giving letterpress prints a unique texture.

Litho printing is another technique Archivist use. This involves the image being placed on a plate which is then covered in ink and used for printing.
