ABOUT LETTERPRESS
Letterpress is one of the world's oldest forms of printing. Despite advancements in digital technologies, people love letterpress in stationery design because of its tactile beauty. Each color is mixed by hand and each piece of paper is handfed into our vintage Chandler and Price Press, a 115+ year old printing machine. The Letterpress printing process uses raised type, the impact on the printing paper from the raised letters result in the signature embossed feel of the printing process.

Your monogram is built by using the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name (the largest letter), then the first letter of your middle name. It's a special signature, unique to you!
