What’s on Press: Business Cards

Letterpress Business Cards | Iron Leaf Press

Kevin at Creative Mellen has a great tradition of getting new cards at the beginning of each new year. This year we got the chance to collaborate with him on his newest business cards.

After testing a few different paper stocks, Kevin’s design was printed on double thick cotton paper, measuring almost an 1/8″ thick. With two ink colors, plus a blind impression on both sides, the cards ran through the press six times before they were finished. The double thick paper lends well to a nice deep impression on the cards.

Seed Here CardsAwhile back Andy and Amanda of Seed Here had contacted me about putting together some letterpress business cards for them. Their logo, although a bit of a challenge on registration, was great for letterpress. We used 110# Lettra to get a nice impression and something a bit toothy in feel.

Catherine's Business Card

 

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared what’s on press, but the truth of the matter is that the press has been busy! These are personal calling cards for a wonderful lady and I loved that she wanted “novice baker” included. And I love the dark indigo that pops against the white stock!
