What is letterpress?

Letterpress originally started with setting blocks of type into a metal frame called a “chase”. The blocks of type would be pressed into the paper with more than 1,000 pounds of pressure. Now, we use photopolymer plates and magnesium plates to create the same effect.

Letterpress is different than most forms of printing because we’re able to create a physical impression of the print into the paper so when you move your fingers across the print you can feel the depression of letters and images. We’re limited to printing one color at a time so it’s best to keep the design simple and let the impression and your paper choice influence the overall piece.

File Preparation for Letterpress

  • Vector art required with the cut line in 100% black ink
  • The ideal file is InDesign with letterpress as 1 layer and other print methods in another layer. Vector files a must.
