EQUIPMENT + MATERIALS

We print on a mid-century Vandercook Universal I printing press.
Each sheet of paper is hand-fed through the press one at a time and one color at a time.

Our paper is 100% cotton (tree-free), biodegradable and acid-free, meaning it will maintain its integrity for years to come.

We pride ourselves on color-matching. Click HERE to view a list of our favorite standard colors.
We print with rubber-based inks and use the Pantone Matching System (Uncoated line) to mix any color, including fluorescents. You can choose a color from our suggested list or even send us a sample of something you’d like matched.

DESIGNing + Revisions

To begin design work, we request a deposit and your signature on our general contract, which we will sign and return. Included in your quote are three rounds of design and revisions; these are sent via digital PDF.
Letterpress printed proofs are not available. Each round afterwards is subject to an additional design fee.
We will work collaboratively during this stage and add any custom illustrations or finishing touches.
Once you have approved the final proofs, materials are ordered and the printing begins.

TURNAROUND TIME + RUSH ORDERS

Once the final details are approved for your project, please allow 15-21 days for production. Edge painting and envelope lining are services that require an additional 1-2 weeks in assembly time.
Rush design and printing services are available on a case-by-case basis and subject to an additional charge of 30%.

PRICING

Please contact us to request our Pricing Form for semi-custom wedding stationery or branding materials. Pricing is dependent on several variables including: quantity, paper stock choice, colors, complexity of design, and timeline.

We strive to be accommodating - there is usually something we can adjust to get your project within your budget if you are working within limitations, just let us know.

If we decide to work together, a deposit is required in order to begin design work and order materials. The remainder is due upon completion of the project. The initial deposit will be credited toward your final invoice.

ENVELOPE ADDRESSING

We can letterpress print your return mailing addresses on the envelope flaps.

We do not offer printing of individual guest addresses, as letterpress is not efficient for variable printing of this kind.
However, we are happy to connect you with our recommend partners, whether you’re looking for hand-done calligraphy or digital address printing.
