The Fossil Press Kit was made by Wizards of The Coast Italy as gift box on the occasion of the launch of the new set of the Collectable Card Game.
The graphic design was commissioned to TOOMuch of Milan, known design studio collaborator of Wizards Italy.
TOOMuch he took care of the concept, editing and packaging of the product; as reported in detail on their site, accessible by clicking the image below.

The Press Kit looks like a massive closed document holder with rope and washers of 32 x 24 x 4 cm.
Like all products of set Fossil, the graphic layout presents itself in the case style of paleontological artefacts, with a lot of warning writings such as "carefully" and "high side".

Some artworks are hidden from the products, extractable from the recesses through a rope:
Some information from the study TOOMuch, suggest using this product, for purpose promotional, during Cartoomics of the 2001.
Despite the pull of this object is unknown and there is no evidence of similar projects in other languages, it is presumed that Wizards of The Coast and TOOMuch they own their own copy.
The incredible design combined with the superb manufacturing make this item one of the best examples of Press Kit for promotional purposes, as well as one of the most beautiful objects related to the world of Pokemon.
I personally thank the design studio TOOMuch to help me rebuild the story of this object and complete the Kit thanks to the recovery of the outer casing, initially missing.
