Paper Paper Everywhere

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Photographer extraordinaire and all around amazing person, Johnna Brynn e-mailed us a couple months ago about a sample request. She had found us through a blog where one of our client’s cards were featured and she decided to give us a ring. Thanks to our amazing good looks and wit, we won her over… or maybe it was the free design services? Who knows.

She was in the middle of rebranding her photography business and needed to make a strong statement with her stationary, so what better way to do that than with some fantastic letterpress goodies to hand to her clients?

Wedding Bells means Letterpress Well

Monday, August 3rd, 2009


Letterpress often finds it’s way into weddings. From letterpress wedding invitation sets including response cards and direction cards and on to menus, places cards, or favor tags at the actual wedding. Not to mention letterpress thank you cards that match the wedding invitations!
The letterpress wedding invitations seen here are two color, blue and gold, on 220lb Lettra. The response cards are a 2 sided postcard style made up of 2 one color prints on 110lb Lettra. We duplexed the response cards before cutting them down. We printed gold on the envelopes, and the neat business card approach for a wedding website is printed on 110lb Lettra.
We feel very honored to have been a part of this wedding, and hopefully we can be a part of your wedding too!

Grant Michaels Goes Blind

I don’t think there is a word that better describes this client than Renaissance Man. If I get all of these right, he is a photographer, kitchen/bath designer, CAD engineer, and web developer. Needless to say, he keeps busy.

Denim + Letterpress Business Cards

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Kiya Babzani owns several stores around the San Francisco area. From handmade Japanese denim to selvage edged shirts, Kiya can take care of you. We put together this design for him based on his somewhat insane obsession with denim and all things vintage. We printed the front side with a subtle denim texture in a deep navy blue, which slightly contrasts with the blue of the paper. We then printed silver metallic on top of that to give the information some pop. (more…)

Letterpress Business Cards for an Architect

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Tom McElroy is an architect located in San Francisco, California. He found us online, and placed an order with us immediately based on the fact that we’re so awesome. Ok ok… that’s not what he said. He liked our prices, but we’re still a little awesome…

Tom is a minimalist. We designed these cards for him through his direction. We offered up some pretty creative ideas, but it came down to the simplest in nature. These letterpress business cards are two color and printed on 80# kraft paper. We had some awesome kraft chipboard in mind, but it was too thick for Tom’s liking. We had our worries about the thinner stock, but we found out that it works just fine. Tom, what can we say. You’re the awesome one. You were our first official online customer, and we greatly thank you for your business.

Sweet and Simple

Monday, May 25th, 2009

We printed these cards with the initial statement of ‘Have you seen Oceans Eleven?’ Evidently, Daniel Ocean hands out a calling card with only his name and a simple black border around the card. Unfortunately, these lawyers needed more information on their card than just their name, but it still came out great. They wanted a simple, but classy business card, so we decided upon a hefty 220# Crane Lettra stock, with black and silver metallic ink. The silver adds just a little subtle bit of x-factor when you catch it in the right light.

The back of the card is just their two color logo which features the lovely silver metallic ampersand.

Mediarite Creative

The first phase of these cards turned out pretty great. It’s currently a 1 sided, 3 color design including a reverse blind impression of the phone number. These cards are actually meant to be 2 sided on custom duplexed paper and 5 different colors overall, but we haven’t gotten the black paper in yet. Keep posted for Part 2 to seehow the final design comes out.
