LETTERPRESS BOARDS

Our house boards are the result of many (many, many) years of research and testing hundreds of different possibilities. We’ve found our gorgeous, 100% cotton boards not only look and feel luxurious, but also take the impression of letterpress perfectly. They’re also milled right here in the UK, which we love!

Our standard weights are 330gsm and a thicker 500gsm. If you’d like to take your invitations to the next level, we can also print on 660gsm, and 1000gsm +.

Our standard letterpress boards are all the same, gorgeous shade of warm white, so if you choose to have your invitations printed on 500gsm, but would like the rest of your suite printed on 330gsm, they will match perfectly.

LETTERPRESS INKS

Our rather lovely ink colour palette is shown below, but we are constantly developing this, so if there is something you think we are missing, please let us know.

We lovingly mix all of our ink by hand, so please be aware that there may be some variation in the colour of your invitations.

Please bear in mind that colour will vary from monitor to monitor, and how the colour appears in print will differ to what you see on screen. To get a real indication of the ink colour we will be printing in, please ask us to send you a printed colour chip.

BESPOKE INK

If you have developed a beautiful colour palette for your event that you would like to carry through to the invitation suite, we could always mix a custom ink colour just for you.

We can match to most Pantone colours in the solid uncoated palette – we will just need a Pantone reference, or a swatch of colour to match to.
(To ensure this is from the correct Pantone reference guide, this will need to end in a ‘U’).
