STAMP use a variety of printing techniques in order to offer you options for the look and the price of your bespoke stationery. The techniques used most are:

LETTERPRESS PRINTING, which has an exquisite handcrafted feel. Letterpress dates back to the 1400’s and Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type; for centuries letterpress was the only printing method used for reproduction. Each piece is hand-printed, one at a time, on a vintage press using an inked and raised (relief) plate that makes an impression on the paper, resulting in a gorgeously textured print. STAMP's specialty is to create modern-looking designs for printing by letterpress, for stationery that looks and feels timelessly sophisticated and stylishly fresh.

DIGITAL FLAT PRINTING, which is a simple ink-to-paper process. This can be a more affordable option for your stationery needs, or a smart way to create certain complementary pieces for your stationery suite. It also can allow for the personalization of specific pieces for individual recipients. For instance, a wedding stationery suite might include letterpress-printed invitations, complemented by digitally printed place cards for the wedding breakfast. Digital flat printing is also the best way to print when including a photograph in a design. For some projects, vegetable oil-based inks are available.

STAMP are happy to provide advice on combinations of colours from the INK PALETTE. There are almost endless possibilities!

Please note that the colours in your proof may vary slightly between your computer/printer and the actual result, depending on the individual calibration of your computer/printer. If a particular colour absolutely must be matched in your ink, please send a physical colour swatch (or PANTONE number) so that it can be matched.

The fonts/type used in the portfolio of designs pictured on this site have been specially selected for the look and feel they create. However, it is possible to adjust the fonts for a custom design if you so desire. STAMP will work with you and provide alternative font/type suggestions to achieve the look you prefer.

All ready-to-write items are printed on thick (250-320gsm), high-quality papers with a beautiful feel. STAMP use recycled, cotton or other sustainable papers whenever possible. And of course, an almost endless variety of options are available to offer you whichever colour, texture, finish, size and format will perfectly suit your dsign.

First impressions really are lasting impressions.

Every piece of stationery is accompanied by a lovely diamond-flap envelope in a colour that perfectly matches or provides an interesting pop of contrasting but complementary colour.

Lined envelopes are lined by hand. Beautiful papers are used, rather than tissue, for an extra-crisp look and feel.

This finishing touch makes all the difference. STAMP can help you find the right lettering style for addressing your invitations, whether you choose manual or mechanical lettering.

Sometimes, you need all the help you can get. If you’d like your invitations assembled for you, just ask.
