mitsubishi motors
Mitsubishi's automotive origins date back to 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A, Japan's first series-production automobile. On 29 January 2005, Mitsubishi Corporation formed Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia as the country’s distributor of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles. I am proud to present their zodiac themed red packet designs that I have collected so far.
Mitsubishi seems to have a pattern of changing it's design every two years. They continued their 2019 piggies set with another adorable mice set this year. Both sets used a pink base envelope casing that is soft and sweet. While the piggies were using front flaps and have an additional snout under the flap of the envelope casing, the mice were slightly simpler, still a lovely set nevertheless. Both 2017 and 2018 took on the folding screen which makes the set bigger and hardier with a more colorful illustration. Just like the rounded porkies the pups had front flaps, all six peeping out from the traditional circular window pane. The roosters had more room to deliver the colors through their feathery appearance and that was a big changeover from the previous singleton design.
Not even sure if I have any older ones from them because I haven't got the time to organize any. Hence 2015 goat is the earliest I have scanned into my collection. Not only it's a single design, the single red color with golden goats are not outstanding enough to catch any attention. Having said that the following year's die-cut floral monkey absolutely took the collectors by surprise with a little more colors and quality printing. |
