    Metallic Halftone Letterpress Business Cards
    August 24, 2008

    allPopart.com Letterpress Business Card Set

    We printed this set of letterpress business cards for Ana and Assi at allPopArt which features a halftone image of their faces in custom mixed metallic ink.  The great thing about these cards are they are fun and unique while still maintaining the identity of the company.

    Gauge Pins

    For all the letterpress enthusiasts out there, I wanted to share my collection of gauge pins with you.  It seems that they have come a long way from what they used to be.   My friends from American Printing Equipment and Supply have sent me some gauge pins to add to the collection and some of them, I have never seen before.  All the gauge pins pictured can be purchased from American Printing Equipment.

    Grape Vine Letterpress Wedding Invitations
    August 3, 2008

    Grape Vine Letterpress Wedding Invtiation Set

    We printed this wedding invitation set for a bride and groom who are getting married at a vineyard on the north fork of Long Island. The set, which was designed by Jina Paik, features grapes on the vine letterpress printed on 100% cotton paper (our house stock) and matching envelopes. The invitation is simple and elegant which highlights the grapes and is printed in purple and gold ink. The reply card was also printed in purple and gold ink and continues the theme with a grape leaf and overlapping line art. Both the envelopes were letterpress printed in purple, the invite envelope with a smaller image of the grapes on the back flap and the reply envelope with the line art and address on the front.

    Here are some more pictures of the set, which we really love. This set is a great example of why letterpress wedding invitations are truly unique. If you are interested in one of our wedding invitations or a custom design please contact us, we’d be happy to send you samples and explain the entire process.
