The card that gets kept.

One card, one pull of the press — ink driven deep into 100% cotton on hundred-year-old iron. You feel it before you read it.

Start with the paper.

Weight and fiber set the feel. Every stock is uncoated — so the ink bites, and the impression stays.

Soft, warm-white and endlessly foldable. Our house paper and the deepest press for letterpress.

Ecru Wove

A vintage cream with a subtle tooth. Reads antique under foil and blind deboss.

540 g/m²Wove

Charcoal Duplex

Two sheets bonded to a dense slab. Pairs with white or metallic ink for high drama.

How the impression is made.

Four hands-on stages between your artwork and the box on your desk.

Set the plate

Your artwork is etched into a photopolymer plate and locked into the press bed.

Mix the ink

Colors are hand-mixed to a Pantone chip and rolled onto the plate by feel.

Pull the press

Each sheet is fed and pressed one at a time, driving ink deep into the cotton.

Cut & box

Guillotine-trimmed, edges painted if chosen, then folded into a letterpress sleeve.

No account, no obligation
