Designing and ordering letterpress invitations or stationery can be overwhelming if you've never done it before. We're here to guide you through it — from the first email to the moment your finished pieces arrive at your door.
The easiest and fastest way to get started is to send us an email or a quote inquiry. One of our project coordinators will reach out with questions about your design preferences, paper stocks, ink and foil options, and any finishing techniques you're considering.
If you're not sure what you want yet, that's normal. We help most clients narrow it down through a short conversation.
Once we've collected your information and reviewed your artwork, we build a custom quote for the project and send it over for your review. The quote breaks out the cost of printing, paper, finishing, and any custom dies.
If a number doesn't fit your budget, tell us. We're often able to adapt the approach — a different paper, a slightly smaller run, or one fewer technique — to land on something that works.
After receipt of payment, our in-house design specialist creates a personalized PDF proof for you to review — typically within two business days. The proof shows exactly how your piece will look on paper, including type, layout, ink and foil colors, and dimensions.
Nothing goes to press until you've signed off. We make as many proof rounds as it takes to get it right.
With your approval in hand, our experienced craftspeople print your project on vintage Heidelberg presses using the highest-quality papers available. Every job is set up, inked, and run by hand — no automation, no shortcuts.
Finishing happens under the same roof: edge painting, gilding, die-cutting, duplexing, eyelets, and corner rounding are all done in-house, so quality is consistent from the first piece to the last.
When your order is finished, we pack it carefully and wrap it neatly — like a present. Opening the box should feel like part of the experience, not an afterthought.
We ship worldwide and provide tracking on every order.
The first step is the easiest one. Send us a quote request or give us a call — we'll take it from there.
