Letterpress
What is Letterpress Printing?
Letterpress is a traditional printing method that involves pressing inked, raised designs or type into thick, soft paper. The result is a beautifully tactile print with a signature “debossed” impression you can see and feel.
Why Choose Letterpress?
- Timeless Elegance: Its classic, handcrafted style brings sophistication to any piece.
- Unique Texture: Unlike flat printing, letterpress creates depth and dimension.
- High-Quality Feel: Printed on luxurious cotton papers, it’s perfect for wedding invitations, stationery, and premium business materials.
The Process
Each piece is printed one color at a time using antique presses, with careful attention to detail. It’s slower than digital printing, but the craftsmanship and charm are unmatched.
Letterpress Inks
Please Note: Colors may appear slightly different in person than they do on screen due to variations in monitor settings, lighting, and device displays. We do our best to represent colors as accurately as possible, but we always recommend viewing a physical sample when exact color matching is important. Please contact me for sample pricing.
Embossing
What is Embossing?
Embossing is a printing technique that raises a design or text above the surface of the paper, creating a subtle yet elegant three-dimensional effect—completely without ink.
Why Choose Embossing?
- Elegant Dimension: Adds a refined, tactile element that catches the light and feels luxurious.
- Ink-Free Impact: Ideal for monograms, logos, or design accents that make a quiet but striking statement.
- Custom Feel: Each piece looks and feels thoughtfully made and custom-crafted.
The Process
A custom metal die is pressed into the paper using heat and pressure, shaping the surface from beneath. It’s a precise, hands-on technique that brings depth and sophistication to your design.
Foil Stamping
What is Foil Stamping?
Foil stamping is a specialty printing technique that uses heat and pressure to apply a thin layer of metallic or pigmented foil to paper, creating a shiny, eye-catching finish.
Why Choose Foil Stamping?
- Luxe Shine: Adds a metallic or glossy pop that stands out—think gold, silver, rose gold, or even matte white and black.
- Premium Look: Instantly elevates invitations, business cards, and packaging with a high-end, polished feel.
- Versatile Style: Works beautifully on its own or paired with other techniques like letterpress or embossing.
The Process
A custom metal die is heated and pressed into the foil and paper, bonding the foil to the surface in your chosen design. The result is crisp, clean, and undeniably striking.
Digital Printing
What is Digital Printing?
Digital printing is a modern, efficient method that transfers your design directly from a digital file to paper—no printing plates or setup required.
Why Choose Digital Printing?
- Fast & Flexible: Perfect for smaller quantities, quick turnarounds, or last-minute projects.
- Crisp, Full-Color Results: Ideal for designs with photos, gradients, or lots of color.
- Cost-Effective: Great for budget-friendly printing without sacrificing quality.
The Process
Your file is printed straight onto the paper using high-quality ink or toner, allowing for clean, consistent results with every print—whether you need 10 or 1,000 pieces.
