Design + Print: Lettra business cards

March 11, 2008 by Jenni 

swansoncallingcardWe’ve been printing wedding invitations on Lettra, a paper created for letterpress printing, for a while now – brides love the luxurious feel of the paper, and it really shows off the tactile quality of letterpress printing. More recently, we’ve been printing business cards on this soft, 100% cotton card stock. The first card we printed on Lettra was for Suzy & Kent, who’ve been friends of the studio since we created wedding invitations for the daughter in 2002. This winter, Suzy asked us to create calling cards with their contact information in Minnesota and at their new vacation home. The cards are letterpress-printed in black and bright blue.

Working with her existing logo, we created elegant, balanced business card in black and bright pink. Though you can’t see it in the picture at the left (do to click on that image for a larger view), there’s more information printed on the back of the card – Lettra is thick enough that a moderate impression on one side won’t result in unsightly show-through on the reverse.
