Frequently Asked Questions about Luxury Letterpress Business Cards
What is a letterpress business card?
A letterpress business card is printed by pressing an inked plate into thick paper, creating a crisp, tactile deboss you can see and feel. The result is understated, premium and durable—ideal for luxury brands and professionals who want a handcrafted finish.
How is letterpress different from embossing and foil stamping?
Letterpress presses inked plates into the stock, leaving a debossed impression. Blind embossing raises artwork without ink, while foil stamping uses heat and pressure to apply metallic foil (gold, rose gold, silver, copper, holographic). You can combine methods—for example, letterpress text with subtle foil accents.
What paper stocks work best for letterpress business cards?
Soft, heavyweight stocks take the impression beautifully—typically 600 gsm (220 lb) cotton. We also offer jet black and custom-dyed boards, plus duplex colour cores for extra thickness and contrast.
What sizes do you offer?
Standard US size is 3.5 × 2 in (89 × 51 mm). We can also produce the Euro size 85 × 55 mm or custom dimensions on request.
Can you print on both sides and how many colours can I use?
Yes—single- or double-sided letterpress. Choose blind letterpress (no ink) or spot-colour inks (Pantone matched). Most designs look best with one or two colours; ask us if you need guidance on separating artwork for the press.
What is the minimum order and production timeline?
The minimum order is 100 cards (increments up to 600). Hand-crafted production typically takes about 30 business days from final artwork approval. Complex finishes or peak seasons may add time.
How much do custom letterpress business cards cost?
Pricing depends on stock, number of colours, single vs double-sided printing, extras like edge gilding or die-cuts, and quantity. Because each project is custom, we’ll prepare a tailored quote to fit your budget and timeline.
Can I order online and do you ship worldwide?
Yes. You can place your order online, and we provide free worldwide shipping. We’ll share print proofs and keep you updated through production.
What artwork do you need, and can plates be reused for reprints?
Please supply vector files (AI, PDF, EPS, SVG) with outlined fonts. We create production plates from your artwork and store them for future reprints wherever possible—so reorders are faster and more cost-effective.
Are these metal business cards?
No—these are paper/cotton letterpress business cards. If you’re looking for metal substrates, let us know and we’ll advise on options via a separate quote.
