Letterpress business cards are instantly recognizable by the indentations that are left when the ink is applied to the paper. The letters and logo are literally pressed inwards, which results in a very tactile surface when the cards are handled. You can think of letterpress as being the opposite of raised ink printing. We are happy to offer this service locally in our NYC printing facility.

Letterpress business cards are widely considered to be among the most elegant and attractive business cards in existence today. Regardless of the supply or demand, letterpress business cards offer some very unique characteristics that make them an excellent choice for people seeking impressive business cards. One of the most apparent attributes is the soft, textured papers that many people use on their letterpress business cards. In order to get the desired effect of indented lettering, softer papers are typically used. Even though these papers were designed to be soft for the sake of the equipment, the byproduct is a paper that feels really nice in your hand. Outside of letterpress printing, it is rare to see these softer stocks used at all.

Letterpress business cards look great with minimalistic and classic designs. We recommend designs with no more than 3 colors and with no backgrounds. Also, designs with thick lines and bold logos will enhance the tactile qualities of our premium letterpress business cards.

Single sided business cards can be 10pt and up. However, to take full advantage of these premium business cards most of them are printed on our 30pt soft cotton paper or our 36pt eggshell textured mohawk superfine paper.

Our letterpress business cards are available on cotton and mohawk superfine eggshell.
