Our Services
Our services include letterpress printing, foil stamping and embossing. Additionally, we provide die-cutting, duplexing, edge painting, corner rounding, drilling, scoring, folding and Pantone ink matching.
Letterpress
The original printing method was developed by Johannes Gutenberg in 1439 utilizing a re-purposed wine press. Raised movable type was inked and then pressed onto the surface of the paper. Today, we utilize digital artwork and a photo polymer letterpress plate.
Foil Stamping
A metal die is created from digital artwork and mounted onto a heat plate which in turn is mounted onto the press. Foil, combined with heat and pressure, allow the image to be transferred onto the paper.
Embossing
A metal die set is created from digital artwork and mounted onto the press. Pressure creates a "bumped up" image on the paper, giving a raised appearance. The embossing can be enhanced with foil or left plain (blind emboss).
Die-cutting
Using a steel cutting die, we set up the letterpress to cut paper into a specific shape. Square, round or almost anything.
Edge Painting
An unexpected pop of color can be added to the edges of your business cards or invitations. Gold, silver or any PMS color can be applied.
