What Makes Letterpress Special

Ink pressed into paper for a classic, tactile finish.

Letterpress uses a traditional relief press to push inked plates into thick, soft paper, creating a deep, debossed impression with matte, solid color. This handcrafted technique is perfect for simple layouts, spot colors, and a refined brand feel. Letterpress can also incorporate blind impressions (ink-free).

Got questions?
We’ve got answers for you.

Letterpress is ideal for 1–2 spot colors. More colors are possible, but simpler color palettes tend to look cleaner and more consistent.

Soft, thick, uncoated or cotton papers work best. They allow for a deeper, more tactile impression and a premium feel in hand.

We offer the combination of Letterpress and digital printing to allow for complex imagery or multi-color elements alongside the classic, tactile impression of letterpress. We do not currently offer a Letterpress plus foil combination.
