Nothing cleans up old wood type like printing with it. Maybe the transformation doesn't show up so well in a photo, but in real life the type looks like it's lost 20 years from getting used. It's the #preservationthroughproduction principal that @hamiltonwoodtype talks about. Had to reprint these postcards because, well, it's still a thing. They're for sale in our Etsy shop, or swing by and get one here at the shop. Fill out and mail a single one for free, or you can buy a package of them to distribute to friends.

#tbt to one of our favorite wedding suites from last year. We worked with a lovely couple & their family to create a truly unique and thoughtful concept. The suite was custom designed, letterpress printed & assembled in-house. We’re so lucky to work with such creative & open clients!

If you skipped holiday cards this year in lieu of new year's cards, it's time to start thinking about placing an order! Contact us when we return in January to get your letterpress printed New Year's cards going. We say you've got until Valentine's Day to send your best wishes for a fulfilling 2018. We have available a new year's greeting card of our own design at $2 each with no minimum, matching envelopes included. This card was originally conceived as a non-materialist holiday card, but it is also great accompanying a gift for a fresh engagement, birthday, housewarming, or many of your typically gift-able events. Letterpress printed in wintery silver and blue, with the two colors overprinting to create a third, darker color on the word "want". Post consumer recycled content paper, folds to a 5 x 7" greeting card with plenty of room inside to personalize your good wishes for the receiver. The inside greeting reads, "MAY YOU WANT FOR NOTHING" Custom imprints for the inside greeting are available for $145 for up to 250 greeting cards. We have samples here if you want to come by and check them out. Orders for any quantity are being taken now. If you have another design in mind, our custom design department is here for you. We'd joyfully create a card from scratch! Contact us for details. (at Dependable Letterpress)
