Edging: Outside the Box
Posted on November 9th, 2011 // Business cards, Inspiration, Letterpress, Printing

Aside from our normal edging practices (almost any uncoated pantone under the sun, almost), we recently were tasked with 2 strikingly unique edging tasks. So, you know, don’t ever be afraid to ask – maybe we can, actually, achieve your dream edging.

The first is from our friends at Big Cartel. They wanted the cards edged only so much that it coincided with the ribbon design of their card.

The next fancy edging spree comes from Fuel Marketing. They wanted a new flashier card, pretty sure flame colored edging fits that bill. Voila!

We Love What You Do: NowTwist
Posted on November 4th, 2011 // Business cards, Inspiration, Letterpress, Printing

So, we’ve decided to implement a routine installment that highlights certain customer’s amazing use of our “supply your own design” option for our $95 Business Card. Not to say that any designs that come through are less astonishing, but, let’s face it – every now and again, we see a certain card that strikes our fancy. For this reason, we want to share. Maybe it will strike your fancy and inspire you to create a kick-ass design for yourself.

Our first We Love What You Do comes from design studio, NowTwist. We ventured to their site and it’s pretty great as well, no surprise.

Tah-Dah!
Posted on July 15th, 2011 // Business cards, Letterpress, News

So, we know, it looks as though we’ve been so busy that we’ve somehow neglected our blog…again. Well the time has come friends, we won’t stand for our own inactivity any longer. Consider this a promise to post.

We moved into a fantastic new spot. It’s taken us a minute to settle in and now we’re back into the swing of things.

Our friend  Spencer Charles, hand lettering extraordinaire, created an amazing sign to put in front of our shop. New digs, new sign. It is hand-painted and hands down awesome. This sign also gives us the chance to reiterate our great $95 calling card option. If a classic statement is your kind of gig, then our $95 cards are for you. We print them in black ink on white #110 (or#220, but will raise the price slightly) or chipboard, we have a plethora of designs to choose from, or you can even supply your own design. It really is almost too good to be true. Oh, black is too plain for you, you say? Have no fear – we can add colored edging or round the corners to make your card standout (for a slight additional cost).

So, in this instance, yes, we are encouraging a drive-by from you. Especially the kind of drive-by where you stop in.
