Ways We Make Things Pretty
We believe in thoughtful printing — slow, deliberate, and full of care. Small in size but always curious, we're open to exploring new techniques and finding what's possible with ink, impression, and a little experimentation. Here's what we do, and how each one works.
Print Techniques
Letterpress
Tactile, timeless, and deeply satisfying
A rigid plate pressed into thick paper leaves an impression you can feel with your fingertip. Works best with minimal designs where touch and craft matter as much as what you can see.
Best for: Wedding invitations, name cards, keepsake prints.
Hot Foil
For when you want your print to shine — literally.
A heated plate transfers foil in one sharp impression — fully opaque on any stock, including dark colours. Metallic and holographic finishes available.
Best for: Logos, monograms, titles, luxury stationery.
Offset Print
Clean, consistent, and reliable
Metal plates transfer ink via rollers, delivering crisp and consistent results across large runs. Colour stays faithful and the cost per piece drops the more you print.
Best for: Books, packaging, high-volume brand collateral.

Digital Print
Fast, flexible, and no-fuss
Prints straight from file to paper — no plates needed, quick turnaround, and supports variable data like different names or details on each individual piece.
Best for: Small runs, prototypes, personalised invitations.
Screen Print
Vibrant, bold, and slightly rebellious
Ink is pushed through a mesh screen one colour at a time — rich and opaque. Works on paper, fabric, wood, and more. Suited for bold graphics and limited-edition runs.
Best for: Art prints, posters, limited-edition runs.
Giclée Print
Archival-quality printing with painterly detail
Pigment-based inkjet printing rated to last over a century without fading. Handles fine detail and gradients that standard digital print simply can't match.
Best for: Fine art prints, photography editions, gallery work.
Finishing
2D / 3D Emboss
Texture you can see and feel.
Raised detailing pressed into paper — subtle or sculptural, depending on depth. 2D emboss adds surface lift, while 3D creates multi-level texture for a more tactile finish.
Diecut
Cut to shape, not to size.
Custom shapes, windows, or curves — die-cutting lets your design break out of the box (literally). Great for edges, reveals, or playful forms.
Blind Deboss
Says a lot without saying anything.
No ink, just impression. A custom plate is pressed into the stock, creating a recessed design with quiet impact. Understated and elegant.
Duplex / Triplex
Twice the weight, double the presence.
Two sheets, one unified print surface. Duplexing bonds two papers into one thicker card — perfect for added weight, contrast, or hidden colour edges.
Edge Paint / Gilding
A flash of colour where you least expect it.
The finishing touch — painted or foiled edges that add a pop of colour or shine when viewed from the side. A detail that speaks volumes.
Deckle Edge
Beautifully rough around the edges.
Feathered, torn-like edges that give paper an organic, handmade feel. A subtle nod to traditional craft and fine art papers.
