This meta - car was plan byTechnificoandLino ’s Type , who team up to make a young take on the historical practice . They call their gadgetStampomatica .
The two models are mini enough to be portable once put together — one is sized for business cards , the other for postcards — and can be operated by maneuvering top-notch straightforward levers and clinch .

I love these things . [ designboom ]
