address labels, calling cards and e-mail avatars. More products may be
added in the future. Affordably priced, prices range from $16 to $22 for 10
note cards or invitations. Great for gifts, higher quantities are also
available.
Completely Custom will be presented in a compact, interactive display which
will allow a variety of retailers, not just stationery stores, to offer
their customers fabulous personalized goods without an investment in
inventory or significant loss of shelf space. The large selection of icons
and borders covers a multitude of hobbies, occasions and interests.
There's something for every customer -- male or female, child or adult.
Custom icons and colors are also available at an additional cost.

retailer, the Completely Custom line by hen and barley press has been a
welcome addition to my shop. My customers enjoy all of the options that
they have to choose from and are delighted that the icons and borders can

Not only are the icons, borders and fonts adorable, the card stock is
wonderful and a higher quality than most card stocks that I've come
across. As a retailer who specializes in custom orders, the Completely
