Premium Letterpress Books & Custom Printing Services

Letterpress books stand out because the printing process creates a physical impression in the paper, giving each page a tactile, crafted feel. Unlike flat digital printing, letterpress adds depth, shadow, and texture that readers can see and touch. Combined with thoughtful paper selection and professional binding, it creates books, portfolios, and keepsakes with a refined, archival-quality presence.

Letterpress is ideal for projects where texture, craftsmanship, and a premium feel matter most. It works beautifully for limited-run books, wedding invitations, personal stationery, high-end business cards, covers, title pages, and branded collateral. Print Icon can also combine letterpress with binding, foil stamping, embossing, or digital printing to achieve a more layered custom result.

Yes. Print Icon provides design services by appointment for clients who need help developing custom artwork, preparing print-ready files, or refining layouts for specialty production. Designers can assist with everything from early brainstorming and mockups to technical file setup, color considerations, and recommendations for the best printing method, paper, and finish.

Project timelines vary based on complexity, quantity, materials, finishing, and whether design work is needed. Specialty processes such as letterpress, foil stamping, diecutting, embossing, and book binding typically require more planning than standard digital printing. Print Icon offers rush order capabilities when timing is tight, and hard copy proofs may be available the next business day.

Print Icon offers a full selection of premium card stock in different finishes and colors, including many stocks that are fully or partially recycled and meet FSC guidelines. Customers may also bring their own paper when appropriate for the process. The team can help confirm whether a chosen stock is suitable for letterpress, binding, foil, or other finishing methods.

Yes. Proofing is an important part of custom printing, especially for specialty work where paper, color, impression, and finish all affect the final result. Print Icon can provide hard copy proofs, with next-business-day proof options available for certain projects. Proofs help confirm layout, scale, material choice, and production expectations before moving into final printing.

Pricing is based on the printing method, quantity, paper choice, size, number of colors, binding needs, and finishing details such as foil, embossing, diecutting, or engraving. Larger quantities are often more cost-effective because setup costs are spread across more pieces. Print Icon offers free quotes so you can compare options that fit your needs and budget.

Print Icon’s regular availability is Monday through Friday, 10:00am to 6:00pm, and the shop is closed on weekends. Walk-in consultations are available during working hours, while design sessions require an appointment scheduled in advance by email. For complex letterpress books or specialty printing, scheduling ahead helps ensure the right team members can review your project.
