The card that gets kept.

We print business cards the slow way — one impression at a time, pressed deep into 100% cotton paper on century-old presses. You feel it before you read it.

How the impression is made.

Four hands-on stages between your file and the finished box.

Set the plate

Your artwork is etched into a photopolymer plate and locked into the press bed.

Mix the ink

Colors are hand-mixed to a Pantone chip and rolled onto the plate by feel.

Pull the press

Each sheet is fed and pressed one at a time, driving ink deep into the cotton.

Cut & box

Guillotine-trimmed, edges painted if chosen, then folded into a letterpress sleeve.

No account, no obligation

Hold your card before you commit.
