    Unique Retro Letterpress Business Card

    Vintage letterpress posters are truly a work of art (we love them) because of the unique combination of graphics and typography. So when Suosdey asked us to print some business cards she had designed we were thrilled with their retro inspired look. The business cards are a great mix of small graphic elements and type faces. We knew that these would make great business cards and surely the pictures don’t lie. The cards were printed on our house stock (100% cotton paper) in black ink.

    Unique Retro Letterpress Business Card

    These business cards are a great example of how well letterpress business cards can reflect you or your company. The luxurious quality of the paper combined with great design and the unique look of letterpress printing will make your business card and you stand out from everyone else. For more of our letterpress business cards check out the custom category of our new portfolio. Nothing like some shameless self promotion … anyway have a great weekend!
