Wat Suthat Thepwararam Postcards - Sacred Communication Media of Value
Creating Sacred Materials That Communicate Wisdom and Faith with Meticulous Care
Buddhist Postcards That Are More Than Communication Tools
Buddhist communication requires sensitivity, respect, and precision in every detail. The Wat Suthat Thepwararam Postcards we created exemplify the production of religious media that combines sanctity with modern printing technology. This project comprises 2-style postcard printing featuring a special foldable structure that serves multiple purposes.
These are postcards that transcend media to become vessels of wisdom. The cover section unfolds to 12.5 x 15.5 cm on sturdy and elegant 350gsm art card paper, while the interior section unfolds to 99 x 15.5 cm on 140gsm SR paper. Both sections feature 4-color printing quality that makes every detail of Buddhist art and script appear magnificently.
Set Square Ping Idea understands that producing religious media isn't ordinary printing work—it's participating in spreading the Dharma and preserving Thai culture. Through attention to detail, color accuracy, and appropriate material selection, each postcard becomes suitable media for preservation and use in Dharma study.
