Beautifully designed business cards by Sophia Studio. Honored to help execute the vision with white foil on Colorplan Stone paper for the front, off-black letterpress ink on Fluorescent White Lettra paper for the back.

White foil on colored paper is such a great choice when you want reversed text. Opaque white letterpress ink doesn’t tend to print crisply and it’s not totally opaque. And printing a color flood background with knocked out text can look uneven and can lead to scuffing. White foil prints crisply and has near 100% opacity.

Embossed and duplexed business cards for Portland’s Wildwood House!

If you’re printing a two-sided business card and you don’t want to see the reverse of your embossed image on the back of the piece, we can duplex two sheets after embossing to hide the embossing. For this set, we embossed 350g Colorplan Pistachio, printed black letterpress on 300g Lettra Fluorescent White, glued the two together, and then die-cut to finish the card.

It’s also a good idea to die-cut an embossed & duplexed card rather than trim it on a standard guillotine cutter. That way the emboss doesn’t get mashed by the cutter clamp.

We’ve printed cards for the friendly folks at Empress a few times now. This time around, we helped develop a new design with artwork based on Emily’s tattoo, thick duplexed paper, and gold edge paint.

Beautifully simple business cards for Hime Hiko. We printed these with our Midnight and Fire Truck inks on 300g Fluorescent White Lettra. Design work by Montréal firm Sept L'atelier.

As we were moving Parklife Press from North Carolina out to Oregon last summer, Ivy and John were bringing their Chapel Hill furniture studio into full swing. We're no longer in the same town, but that doesn't mean we can't still work together. 

We printed note cards and business cards with custom inks on 300g Fluorescent White Lettra paper with die cut corners and matching A6 envelopes.  A nice complement to P&P's simple aesthetic.
