Letterpress printing, a time-honoured technique from the 15th century, continues to captivate with its unique beauty and craftsmanship. Invented by Johannes Gutenberg around 1440, letterpress changed the world by allowing mass communication through movable type. This method dominated for centuries, influencing history with every printed page.
The charm of letterpress lies in its process: individual letters, words and graphics are arranged by hand, inked, and then pressed into paper. This creates a distinctive, debossed impression. This labour-intensive technique gives each piece a tactile quality and visual elegance that modern printing methods can't match. The result is a product that is both beautiful and lasting, prized in today’s fast-paced digital age.
In a world full of digital content, letterpress printing offers a return to tangible, enduring craftsmanship. At Plasma Design, we use this traditional method to create business cards that stand out in both look and feel. Each card reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail, making a memorable first impression for your brand.
Offering letterpress business cards connects our clients with a piece of history, while providing a unique medium that conveys sophistication and integrity. The process, with its rich textures and slight variations, ensures that no two cards are exactly alike. This uniqueness appeals to clients who value originality and a personal touch in their branding materials.
By choosing letterpress, you’re opting for a method that combines historical significance with modern relevance. Our letterpress business cards are not just tools for communication; they are pieces of art that reflect the individuality and high standards of your business. Let your business card be more than just a contact detail – let it be a lasting impression.
