Paper Choices for Letterpress

Letterpress loves a juicy stock. Offset presses choke on sheets half as dense as what we can run. So when you want to go thick, letterpress is where it’s at. We can even print on thin plywood.

If your project calls for a carton or more, there’s no stock that’s out of reach. Choices available in smaller quantities are somewhat limited, but there is still a flutter of options out there.

We keep a variety of choice paper stocks on hand for quick-turnaround orders.

These include:

House Smooth Cover – 300gsm Smooth Stock for Posters/Cards/What-have-you.
House Cotton Cover – 300gsm Cotton Stock great for invitations and cards.
Crane’s Lettra – 300gsm – Ecru White, Pearl White, Fluorescent White
Somerset – 300gsm – White
Mohawk Superfine – Ultrawhite – 130#
Recycled Chipboard – 20pt
French Muscletone – Kraft, Black, Starch White
