Product Details
Letterpress is one of the oldest printing methods, and it is still one of the most admired. The design is pressed into thick, soft paper, leaving a crisp impression you can feel with your fingertips. Ink sits in the pressed areas, giving clean, rich lines with a handcrafted character. Packwhole prints custom letterpress business cards for brands that want a timeless, crafted card.
– Deep impression: the design is physically pressed into the paper. – Handcrafted look: crisp lines with a classic, artisanal feel. – Thick, soft stock: usually printed on heavy cotton-style paper. – Lasting impression: a card people keep because it feels special.

1. Use solid colors, not photos or gradients. 2. Keep lines bold enough to press cleanly; very fine hairlines may fill in. 3. Limit the palette to one or two ink colors for the classic look. 4. Consider a blind impression for a logo with no ink at all.
Stationers, wedding planners, designers, restaurants, coffee roasters and heritage brands often choose letterpress. It pairs naturally with cotton business cards and thick business cards.
