Every Chinese New Year, small red envelopes are presented to the young and unmarried with a little bit of money. The color red symbolizes luck and the practice of giving a red envelope (or “Lycee” in Cantonese) is a blessing for the new year and to ward off evil spirits.
The designs vary from traditional imagery (Chinese characters, old paintings, plants, dragons, various animals) to modern cartoons. Metallic gold ink is normally incorporated into the print as a sign of prosperity.

Every font is designed with varying thicknesses and sizes, so there’s more ink consumption for a thicker font. There’s no simple rule–every case is different, but changing fonts to save a little money can help in the long run.
Serif fonts (like Times Roman, with the tiny legs on the letters) fare better than their Sans Serif counterparts (Arial, for example) on an economical level. For less text, Century Gothic takes less ink than Arial. More info on Yahoo.
