Letterpress and foil stamping create a stunning effect.

Today we’ve got a letterpress and foil suite we recently produced for Mario Brathwaite of Brathw8 Studios. We’ve worked with Mario before on a custom set of letterpress business cards, but when he updated his branding he wanted to create new business cards and notecards to match. We love foil stamping as much as letterpress because of the unique look it produces – it can create truly shiny metallics and allows light colors to be printed on dark stocks.

Stationery that matches their business cards.

We posted photos and production info for a special set of business cards we printed for Tyler and Antoinette from At Media. At Media is a branding agency located in the Philadelphia, PA – you can check out our previous writeup on their cards here: At Media Letterpress Business Cards. Shortly after finishing their business cards we printed a quick run of stationery for them. See more photos of the note cards and some matching ornaments that ended up in the shot after the jump.

Black paper and silver metallic letterpress – the perfect combo.

Today we’ve got some really neat invitations we printed last year for Andy @ Division Of/. When you think about New Year’s black and silver seem like classic colors, reminiscent of the night sky filled with sparkling stars. Andy created the clean and modern design using a thick black museum board (note: they’re soo thick they double as coasters). Check out the rest of the photos after the break.

We had some fun with type and ink printing these custom tags for a gift basket.

Our friends at Bella Flora we’re giving out gift baskets this summer and needed tags for them. That’s where we came in, we worked with Jaime to design them and bring in fun elements through the use of type,  styles,  ink and the backing paper.

Custom Portfolio (CD) Cover for Vivian Doan Photography

Letterpress printing isn’t just for business cards and wedding invitations although you might think that if you look at our recent posts. All joking aside, while a lot of people use letterpress business cards, we’ve noticed a growing trend, letterpress promotional material.

We work with and print for a lot of creative people, but when it comes down to promoting your own work, businesses want something that will stand out. These CD covers for Vivian Doan are a great example of how to tie in letterpress with your promotional goods.

Foil stamping and letterpress are the perfect mix of techniques for this stationery set.

Boy were there a lot of pieces to photograph for this suite we recently printed for Krisztina Hoeber Photography. It took almost as much time to photograph as they did to print! Photographing pieces like this can be tough to capture the full size and the detail. The gold foil adds an extra hurdle since the light has to be just right to catch the shine and reflection.

We wanted to start this week off with a great set of stationery we designed for 259 Strategies. The custom stationery set consists of business cards, letterhead, and folders. All of the pieces were letterpress printed in a combination of medium cool gray, process blue, and blind impressions. Oh and there is no such thing as too many photos … is there?
