Services
Die-stamping
Our die-stamping technique creates raised metallic or colored designs on stationery using precision-engraved plates. This method produces tactile, visually striking elements like crests, logos, and intricate borders that cannot be replicated by standard printing. Clients benefit from enhanced brand recognition and document security through this distinctive finish.
Bespoke Envelopes
We manufacture made-to-order envelopes with options for tissue-lining, foil finishes, and bespoke dimensions. Our Winkler & Dunnebier machines ensure precise folding and sealing for both aesthetic appeal and functional security. Clients receive samples before production to guarantee perfect match with their brand identity.
Letterpress Printing
Using heritage letterpress equipment, we create deep impressions on premium paper stocks for business cards and invitations. This technique produces textured finishes that convey authenticity and craftsmanship. The process involves hand-mixed inks and careful pressure calibration to achieve consistent results.
Foil Blocking
Our foil blocking service applies metallic or colored foil to stationery using heated dies for precise, durable finishes. This technique works on business cards, book covers, and luxury packaging. We offer multiple foil shades and can combine with other print methods for layered effects.
Tissue-lined Envelopes
We hand-finish tissue-lined envelopes with options for full or half-lining in various colors and materials. The process involves precise adhesive application and careful folding to prevent creasing. Clients can choose from standard options or request custom color matches for brand consistency.
