Letterpress printing for the trade
We print for designers, stationers, and print shops across the country. Your design, our presses. Every job ships blind with no Rise and Shine branding.
Your studio, extended
We serve as a production partner for designers, calligraphers, wedding planners, and stationery boutiques who need expert letterpress and foil printing without investing in their own equipment.
You maintain the client relationship. We handle the presswork. Every order ships directly to you or to your client with absolutely no Rise and Shine branding — your business, your brand, your reputation.
Our wholesale program is built on the same equipment, inks, and papers we use for our own retail line. The only difference is the pricing and whose name is on the finished product.

How it works
From inquiry to delivery, here is what to expect.
Apply
Fill out our wholesale inquiry form. We will review your application and follow up within two business days to discuss your needs and share pricing.
Submit
Send us your print-ready files or your design concept. We will review the artwork, confirm specifications, and send a detailed quote.
Proof
We produce a digital proof for your review. Once approved, your order moves into production. Press proofs are available upon request for an additional fee.
Ship
Your finished order is carefully packaged and shipped blind — to your studio or directly to your client. Standard turnaround is five to seven business days from proof approval.
Papers and materials
We stock a range of premium papers and can source specialty stocks on request. All papers are selected for their compatibility with letterpress printing — they accept impression beautifully and hold ink with precision.
If you have a specific paper in mind that is not on our list, let us know. We work with multiple mills and distributors and can usually source what you need.
Cotton Papers
Crane's Lettra in fluorescent white and pearl white (110lb and 220lb cover). The industry standard for letterpress printing — soft, thick, and deeply absorbent.
Smooth & Textured Stocks
Classic Crest, Mohawk Superfine, and colored stocks including Epic Black. Available in a range of weights, finishes, and colors for both letterpress and digital work.
Envelopes
Matching envelopes for every card size — A2, A6, A7, A9, square, and custom. Euro flap and pointed flap options. Custom envelope liners available in any color or pattern.
Specialty Materials
Vellum overlays, handmade papers, seed paper, acrylic, and wood veneer. If your project calls for something unusual, we will work with you to find the right material.
