EDGE PAINT Gold
Duplexed, edge-painted, blind-debossed business cards for Portland's BRIGHT DESIGNLAB.
Since the subtlety of the blind-pressed pattern on the front of the card is crucial, we couldn't press both sides of the paper. So we printed the front and back on separate 300g sheets, the glued, trimmed, and edge-painted.

2/2 cards on 500g Savoy for Vanessa of Zimmer Legal. Slick design by Philip Lowe.
This Savoy stock is becoming a favorite for business cards. It isn't crazy thick, but it's enough to allow for two-sided letterpress without much impression show-through.
PAPER 500g (30pt) Savoy Brilliant White
INK Custom Pantone mixes
Simple one-color cards on thick 540g Colorplan paper for the Atlantic Beach restaurant, Pescara. Metallic letterpress inks show just a hint of shimmer, and unlike most inks, they're opaque so they look great on dark papers.
