Letterpress Love

We love letterpress.  From Holiday cards to desktop calendars, there isn’t a form of letterpress that we haven’t fallen for. Because it is time and labor-intensive letterpress has become an art form that surprisingly few people know much about.  Once the most common method of printing, letterpress is a form printing where ink is applied to movable type and then pressed onto a surface to create an imprinted copy.  Due to the specialized nature of letterpress the cost is typically higher than standard printed invitations.  If you have it in your budget to splurge on invitations, the tactile feel of letterpress correspondence is sure to impress your guests whether they are letterpress nuts or neophytes.

If you love the letterpress invitations and save the date cards above, they are available right in our boutique!  Posh Papers can find you the letterpress invitations that fit your style aesthetic and budget.
