What looks good (Our capabilities)

Our letterpress printing brings a classic, hand-crafted look to every project. Using our Heidelberg letterpress machines, we press inked designs deep into the paper, creating an impression that feels as special as it looks. This traditional method has evolved to incorporate modern polymer plates, enabling intricate, custom designs. The beauty of letterpress lies in its subtle variances, with each print carrying small unique details that add depth and character. This process is perfect for clients who appreciate a refined aesthetic, making it ideal for stationery, invitations, and branding materials. Choose from our house ink colors or send us a custom PMS color to match.

Foil stamping is a powerful way to elevate your designs with a touch of elegance and shine. By using heated copper plates to press metallic, matte, or holographic foil onto paper, we create a captivating, reflective effect that contrasts beautifully on both light and dark paper. This technique works particularly well for projects requiring eye-catching elements, such as logos, premium packaging, and high-end invitations. Since each foil and paper combination results in a distinctive look, we collaborate closely with clients to achieve a finish that aligns perfectly with their vision. Check out our house foils here.

For a striking, tactile element, our embossing printing technique adds depth and texture to any design. This method involves sculpting a design UP out of the paper surface with a two-part die, creating a dimensional impression that can stand alone or align with other printed elements. The height can vary from single to multi-level for intricate effects, offering versatility for applications like logos, monograms, or ornamental details. Whether blind or colored with ink or foil, embossing adds a premium touch to stationery, business cards, and other specialty print pieces.

A heated blind stamp gives your designs a refined, colorless finish, creating a recessed effect that adds a subtle yet sophisticated dimension. We use a heated copper stamp to press designs directly into paper, resulting in a texture that’s ideal for high-end business cards, packaging, note cards, and other elegant items. This minimalist approach is perfect for branding that seeks to impress through feel and understated aesthetics.

Die cutting is our go-to for transforming paper into custom shapes, whether simple or intricate. Using precise, custom steel dies, we create clean, accurate cuts for everything from specialty invitations to coasters. This technique also includes ‘kiss-cutting’ for labels and stickers, where we cut to a specific depth, leaving backing sheets intact for an easy-to-peel experience.

Duplexing allows us to bond multiple sheets together, creating a thick, layered effect that’s ideal for items needing durability and visual impact, such as invitations and business cards. We offer various configurations, from two-sided (duplex) to multi-layered (triplex and beyond), and can even add colored cores for added flair. This technique provides a striking combination of colors, textures, and heft, delivering a truly memorable product.
