Dropping April 14 at 11:30 AM EST. Paperwallet is dropping two new Micro Wallets from Plastikcomb Magazine: Howdy Partner! and FILLER. Two designs, two very different names, one creative team behind both.
About Plastikcomb Magazine
Plastikcomb is a creative collective that operates as both a publication and an art studio. Their work spans illustration, graphic design, andmi print media. The style tends toward bold, graphic compositions with a sense of humor. It's the kind of work that doesn't take itself too seriously but is clearly made by people who know what they're doing.
Paperwallet has collaborated with collectives and studios before, not just individual artists. The dynamic is a little different.
Howdy Partner!
The name sets the tone. This is a wallet with personality. We can't describe every visual detail here (check the product page when it goes live), but the design leans into the playfulness of the name. It's the kind of wallet that makes people smile when they see it.
FILLER
Yes, that's the actual name. And no, it's not a placeholder. FILLER is the second design from Plastikcomb in this drop. The name works as a kind of anti-name, which fits Plastikcomb's sensibility. In a world where every product has a carefully workshopped title, calling something FILLER is a deliberate choice. It's funny, it's self-aware, and it sticks in your head.
Both designs cover the full wallet surface, and the printing came out clean on Tyvek. Plastikcomb's bold graphic style works well at wallet scale because the shapes and lines are confident enough to read small.
Two Designs at Once
We like releasing multiple designs from the same artist or studio on the same day. It gives people a choice within the same creative voice. Some customers will pick one, some will grab both. Either way, seeing them side by side tells a more complete story about the creator's range.
The Micro Wallet Format
Both designs are Micro Wallets: credit-card-sized when closed, 1.3mm thin, holds 6 to 8 cards and folded cash. Made from Tyvek, so waterproof and tear-resistant. It's the wallet for light carry.
If you're new to the format, check our Micro vs Slim comparison to see which size fits your carry.
