About this piece "Tommy Bahama Envelope" The test of a good envelope, in addition to burst strength and compliance with postal requirements, is an envelope which engenders an urgent desire in the recipient to tear it open without delay. Hemlock Express, a division of Hemlock Printers in Vancouver BC, passed all these tests with a colorful evocation of a holiday reverie in sun splashed island tropics. Western States sponsorship point man Pete Peterson counsels us to tear up an envelope each time we send an e-mail. This envelope converting project proves the envelope lives on, long and strong. We gratefully acknowledge the huge support for the International Gallery as well as local Gallery efforts provided through Dick Kouwenhoven, president of Hemlock, and salute his enterprise for winning the Western States Envelope Best Envelope Award.
