This is one of the most ambitious projects we’ve ever taken on. In 2020, Pasxa Wines in Walla Wall asked us to produce labels for their first vintage for about 5000 bottles. Since then we’ve worked with them each year as their production has more than doubled and this past December we finished work on labels for their fourth vintage.

Each label goes has a total of seven (!!!) letterpress inks. We use soft and supple 100% cotton Somerset paper, a stock that’s designed and manufactured for fine art prints. After printing, we hand-apply an adhesive backing then die cut the press sheets. At the winery, the Pasxa folks place the labels on each bottle manually.

This year we expanded our custom adhesive capabilities to make the process faster and less expensive while increasing the adhesive strength. We’re not able to put our letterpress wine labels on rolls, but our new process makes application quite a bit less onerous than previous iterations of this job.

An elegant upgrade to our Fiallo invitation set, this one swaps in gold foil for matte gold ink, bumps the paper up to 600g Arturo, and adds rounded corners and edge paint.

For Courtney and Ben's set, we started with our popular Whirl invitation, but added gold foil and edge paint for some extra pizzazz.

The original Whirl uses gold ink, which has just the slightest hint of metallic shimmer. But gold foil is something else entirely — it's extremely shiny with a reflective mirrored look. And if you'd like something in between, our gold satin foil is a little less intense than the gold shine used here.

For paper, Courtney and Ben went with our thick and textured soft white 600g Arturo in a 5x7 size with rounded corners. We finished out the set with our euro-flap Arturo envelopes and a gold foil + black letterpress flap.
