CARD STOCK FOR LETTERPRESS BUSINESS CARDS

Letterpress printing suits softer paper stocks that will take the impression well to create a pillow emboss, but you don’t want a business card that looks dog-eared after a few moments in your pocket. We have tested lots of card stocks and selected those that print beautifully to create a stunning deboss but are also stiff enough to wear well. They also all have great eco-credentials.

Letterpress Business Cards

LETTERPRESS PRINTING

  • Bespoke printing plates are pressed into the card stock to create a tactile print

  • ‘Blind’ or no ink letterpress is possible when the wording is pressed into the card without ink to create a deboss

  • All the text and content you provide will be printed by letterpress for completely bespoke business cards

  • Letterpress printing works beautifully with fine illustrations and fonts, giving a deep pillow deboss

  • Great on its own or when paired with foil printing

  • Letterpress inks are transparent, so the ink colour must be darker that the paper in order to be legible, or printed blind
