custom letterpress
Letterpress printing reflects an era of quality and craftsmanship. This historic method of printing uses raised type and images, inked and pressed into the surface of heavy papers. Sheets are fed, one at a time, by hand into cast iron platen presses. Some presses in our letterpress studio date back over 100 years. Our process begins with original designs, tailored to your occasion. For each order our production staff creates individual plates on location, prints with soy based inks, and finishes every piece by hand.
We can work with you to create a unique design or you can start with one of the templates we've pre-designed! Our wedding suites and stationery sets are meant to make designing easy if you see exactly what you want, but if you want something more custom, whether it be a font change, additional ink color, or any number of variances, please inquire.
