How we work

We understand that what we do can be intimidating and we may not have the answers to all of your questions. We have nearly 20 years design and print experience, and we love educating you on the process. Don’t hesitate to ask even if you think it may be out of our wheelhouse.‍ If we don't know, we aren't afraid to say so and we'll figure it out. We're really excited to create something beautiful together!

Artwork Preparation

Line Thickness & Dot Parameters

This Is Important! probably the most important part to creating artwork that will work for letterpress and foil. Lines should have a thickness of at least .35 in order to show up on the plate and not wash away. This includes type. Dots should have a diameter of 1.25 in order to show up on the plate. This includes dots above “Is" and periods. It also includes any elements in the artwork that are dots. If any of these elements are undersized there is a risk of them not showing up at all on the plate which means they won’t show up in the print.

What to expect!
