We began SWEET letterpress & design in 2007 with a mission to help preserve thoughtful correspondence and have been making letterpress invitations, greeting & note cards and gifts ever since. Our paper goods are carefully crafted in Boulder, Colorado using only high quality, eco friendly materials. Our North Boulder studio is home to a 1893 Chandler & Price Old Style (stylishly painted red and black) and a Heidelberg Windmill from 1956.
With concrete floors, high ceilings, lots of white paint, and, of course, antique presses, it's a great blend of industrial chunk and modern chic. We love it here and we hope you'll visit soon. You don't need a real reason to stop by, just be sure to let us know you're coming as our schedule can vary from week to week. Take the virtual studio tour on Flickr.
A graphic designer and illustrator decided to design our own wedding invitation. After several detailed prototypes, hundreds of dollars spent in hand-made paper, and many grueling August days of assembly, that first invitation was made and SWEET Letterpress & Design was born.

Printing Method
Report
Letterpress is a relief printing technique in which a raised plate is inked and then pressed into the paper for a deep tactile impression.
We print our invitations one at a time on an antique press, feeding each piece of paper through the press for every color applied.
We also mix our ink colors by hand.
Letterpress is a labor of love and the end result is a dramatic and beautiful look unmatched by any other printing method.
