What’s on Press: Bandwidth Pool Stationery

Blind Impression Letterpress | Bandwidth Pool | Iron Leaf Press

Working with other entrepreneurs is one of my favorite parts of my business! Ben at Bandwidth Pool came to Iron Leaf Press looking for some special notecards. He loved the looked of blind impression (printing without ink, leaving just a depression into the paper). We printed his logo on 110# bright-white cotton paper and chose bright blue envelopes to match his logo.

What’s on Press: Personal Stationery

Rogers Stationery

I bought this roman, tiled typeface some time ago and had yet to find a good use for it. I like its lines and formality, but for some reason I just hadn’t found a home for it yet.

I decided to set a line and try it out for some stationery I was planning on gifting to some friends for their wedding. There was its home. It was a nice formal face for stationery, but in a fun color combo. (I may be in love with the gray and yellow combo — a touch of cool gray with some sunny warmth.)

I’ll be working on more stationery sets like this one that use handset type from my collection. If you’d like a set of stationery like this one, I’ve got a listing in my online store here. Not quite what you’re looking for? Contact us at the ole shop — we do all sorts of custom stationery with different typefaces, colors, and envelopes (more examples here).

What’s on Press–Personalized Stationery

Another set of personalized stationery hit the press recently. Sara was looking for something striking, yet simple. We worked together to pick a dark blue, with complementing gray envelopes.

I love the final effect and personalized stationery is a fun way to keep in touch with friends and family!
