    At Media Letterpress Note Cards
    December 10, 2011

    At Media Letterpress Note Cards

    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.

    New Year’s Eve Invitations
    October 27, 2011

    New Year's Eve Letterpress Invites

    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.

    Bella Flora Letterpress Tags

    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. Check out the photos of the tags and basket after the jump.

    Letterpress Promotional Material for Photographers
    July 20, 2011

    Vivian Doan Letterpress CD Cover

    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.

    Krisztina Hoeber Stationery Suite
    June 14, 2011

    Krisztina Hoeber Letterpress Suite
    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.

    See all of the photos after the break …

    Tons of Edge Coloring
    November 2, 2009

    Loads of Edge Coloring

    We wanted to share a few snapshots of a variety of edge colored cards from business cards to stationery and wedding invitations. We think its a great way to add a touch of color to your letterpress project. Almost any color can be painted on the edge of your cards from light pastels to bright neons and even dark colors like purple and black. Metallic colors can also be painted on the edges like the silver and gold metallic cards shown below. We can even match the edge color to the colors printed on your cards or stationery.
