Custom Business Card Bonus Round!
Posted on January 4th, 2012 // Business cards, Letterpress, Printing //
Since it’s the first month of a new year (I suppose that’s a but redundant, whatevs) we are going to run a special. Especially if your own work bonus was lack luster. We’ll try and make it a feel like you got a little more than just a company mug for your hard work all year.
If you sign off on a custom business or calling card order – CUSTOM ORDERS ONLY – by the end of the day January 31, we’ll bump an extra 100 cards into your order. Hooray! So, if you order 250 cards, 350 will automagically show up at your doorstep. If you order 500, you’ll receive 600. And so on and so on. Pretty sweet!
Click here to request an estimate! Don’t forget to mention this post for your bonus!
Also, keep in mind that the estimating process goes much more smoothly when you have a clear idea of paper, color, and design. If you need help designing your card we can help with that too.
Happy New Year!

Is the gold edging available on the $95 business cards metallic gold or a solid yellow gold?

The gold edging is definitely gold, not yellow. Here’s a link: farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6674388599_57a757ba5b_z.jpg
Hope this helps!

Can you add an element that will have no color fill in addition to the black ink? Like what you have in the “Charleston Naturally” business card?

I requested an estimate over a week ago and never received a response. I have a prepaid credit card and need to spend it before it expires.

We can print with Black ink and add a blind impression as well. Those would be treated as 2 colors. The “blind impression” is run just like any other color, save for that it’s run without pigmented ink.

Hey Adam,
Our estimator has your request and should be in contact with you shortly. It’s such a special request we needed our top dog on the case. Thanks for your patience!

When Worlds Collide and it Blows Your Mind
Posted on January 3rd, 2012 // Business cards, Inspiration, Letterpress, Printing //
Okay, mind blown, maybe that’s an exaggeration. However, it’s pretty cool when the world of today can still dance with the world of yesterday. A perfect example of this is the use of QR codes with letterpress. It works! So, whether you have one for your business or perhaps a promotion, it’s pretty slick.

Elizabeth,
We typically ship our international packages via USPS and from what I can gather it would be no problem shipping to Israel. Our typical international card order ships for $25 (however, that will vary with how large your order is).
If need be we can ship it FedEx or UPS, however those methods tend to be much more expensive.
Hope this helps!

Pinch and a Punch It’s the 1stish of the Month!
Posted on December 2nd, 2011 // Inspiration, Letterpress, News, Printing //
OMGWTFBBQIDK<3!
It’s December 1st, ok, well it’s technically the 2nd. We know, people all over the place are always astonished that yet another month has passed, and “how did this happen?” and “time flies” and…well, we’re pretty sure this is a symptom of age. When we were young, it was like the world and its time was the slowest moving thing. We waited, got ready 2 hours early for prom, waited for our parents to pick us up after school, it was an eternity the year we spent waiting to be 16, and Christmas and our birthday couldn’t come faster.
We’re old. Time flies, even when we’re not having fun.
So, it’s now holiday season. We want to get back to that place where we couldn’t wait to wake up early, unwrap presents, eat copious amounts of butter & sugar laden goods, and wrap ourselves in scarves and hats and still feel frozen. Bring on the nostalgia! (forget that some of us around here grew up in Southern CA)
We think that in our seasoned age, we need a tinge of darkness to reassociate ourselves with the glory of all things childlike. And, in some cases the darkness was just an inherent latency of all things child-like. Innocence, such a thin veneer. Think about Grimms’ tales – horrific, but our child minds only chose to see the straw, the coal, and the bean, as cute and laughable. Prime example: the master of dark, absurd, and slightly deadpan, Edward Gorey.
In our own sense of naughty & nice, we have some holiday cards available in our Seraph Store: www.seraph.bigcartel.com.
Happy December!

Skate or Die (cut)!
Posted on November 23rd, 2011 // Business cards, Jobs, Letterpress, News, Printing //
Speaking of…remember Poseur Pete? Wow…
Sorry for the Skate or Die tangent. However, today we’d like to talk about a service we offer that is pretty radical: Die-cutting. Die-cutting can be a great way to create a custom card shape, hang tag, invite, etc. There are some limitations to keep in mind. Intricate designs can become too fragile for a die and we’d recommend the Leslie Harris card (shown in the gallery below) as an example of a card that is on the high end of the scale as far as intricacy goes.
So, if you have an idea for a custom card, don’t let its shape hinder your creativity. Maybe Rodney Recloose would want a mohawk-shaped card? Or maybe skate deck shaped?

Hey! We work with another company to make our dies. If you’ve got sweet deals, let us know!
