Hot Off the Letterpress
Featured Project:‘Hello Honey’ Letterpress Valentines Day Cards

We’re usually so busy creating prints for our clients, we never get to print our own stuff. That’s changing in 2012, with the launch of our Rise and Shine Paper stationery collection.

If you are a retailer, please contact us to receive our wholesale catalog, with many more designs to choose from.

Featured Project:Strawfoot Handmade Chipboard Business Cards

These 100% recycled chipboard business cards were printed for Strawfoot Handmade, a small workshop in Santa Cruz, California. They make amazing, handcrafted bags from locally-sourced waxed cotton canvas. The craftsmanship is obvious when you explore the hand-tooling and care that goes into each seam of these bags, which are created with a vintage, single-needle sewing machine. You need a bag from Strawfoot Handmade. Once you’ve had one, no other will do.

Featured Project:Tamworth Lyceum Letterpress Book Plates

These custom letterpress bookplates were printed for the Tamworth Lyceum of Tamworth, New Hampshire. The Lyceum is a really interesting concept for a small town. It’s kind of a mix between a general store and social gathering place. We’re always looking for that “third place,” and if we lived there, this would be it. They host art exhibitions and workshops, too. Check out their website (and read their much better description of themselves) and swing by for a visit if you’re close!

Featured Project:Oliver’s Letterpress Birth Announcements

Welcome to the world, Oliver! These birth announcements were designed by the proud Dad, Greg Christman. We love working with Greg because his work is so bold and communicative, which is perfectly expressed with the letterpress printing process.

It was difficult to capture this project in these tiny photos. For a closer look download this .zip.

Featured Project:Chipboard Letterpress Coasters

These coasters were printed on our sturdy 30pt Chipboard. It is one of our favorite stocks, as it is versatile enough to be used for a lot of different design styles. PLUS it’s 100% recycled. You can’t go wrong for letterpress coasters, business cards, album covers, or anything else that needs to be big and crunchy.
