When only the Best will do...
Our Foilpress and Letterpress invitations set the tone for your big day, showcasing quality, elegance and attention to detail. They create a lasting impression, reflecting your commitment to a memorable experience for you and your guests, and make your celebration truly special.
Each foiled or letterpressed item is made entirely individually by hand on our vintage presses, so whether it's a save the date or invitation, the journey from design to paper is one that tells a unique story befitting one of life's great milestones.
Foil Press
Often combined with digital printing, foil press - also referred to as hot foil - requires the engraving of a metal plate which is then heated on our press and, individually, pressed into coloured, cotton or handmade paper.
Our foil pressed stationery is handmade by Laura in our Worcestershire studio on our platen press "Florence".
Opt for foil pressed stationery when you want your save the dates or invitations to sparkle.
Meet "Flo"
Or Florence, to give her the full title. Flo has been on-site with us since 2020 and is our foiling workhorse.
Here she is with Laura being used to foil press the outside of black pocketfolds for a client in gold.
Letterpress
Truly artisanal and traditional, letterpress is the most luxurious printing method we have available. Each piece is individually made on our restored press to ensure every item is unique, and completed to exacting standards.
We are currently hard at work creating our letterpress designs and hope to go live in early 2025. Please sign up to our newsletter if you want to be updated on when we go live.
Meet "Lawrence"
Lawrence was made in 1892 when letterpress was a defacto standard of printing. We have had him meticulously restored to new, enabling us to create luxurious, traditional stationery in a unique, artisanal way.
There are no plugs with Lawrence, all power is generated through mechanical elements with inking, impression and printing all entirely manual, piece-by-piece.
