Services
Engraving
Our engraving service creates raised text and images using hand-crafted copper plates. This centuries-old technique produces luxurious stationery with tactile depth and visual elegance. Clients receive bespoke designs that showcase our mastery of this traditional art form.
Letterpress
Letterpress printing combines ink application with debossing to create textured stationery on premium paper. This revived historical method delivers distinctive results that modern techniques cannot replicate, ideal for discerning clients seeking authenticity.
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping applies gold, silver, or pigmented foil to paper using heated dies. We offer both flat and embossed foiling options to create striking visual effects that elevate invitations and corporate stationery.
Thermography
Thermography produces raised text and images through heat-reactive powder. We offer multiple finishes including metallic, gloss, and matte effects, with capabilities for printing on pre-gilded cards up to 1400gsm.
Gilt Edging
Gilt edging applies gold or silver leaf to stationery edges by hand. We also offer colour edging options that complement printed designs, with choices for rounded corners and fluorescent accents for dramatic presentation.
