One final flask design, at least until someone says "hey, what about..." - the square flasks I mentioned in yesterdays Pixel Flask post! These two flasks are in fact the same models, but with...

One more variation on the screwtop flasks - this time a small, round one! And, as you've probably noticed from the picture this one has an inset for a label, too!<...

I love lids, as you've probably noticed, and print-in-place ones even more! But one thing that's often a downside to a printed box with a lid is that unless the box has something heavy in it,...
