Our stationery collection includes letterpress wedding stationery, birth announcements, custom social stationery (such as party invitations and moving announcements), personal stationery and greeting cards for every occasion. Why letterpress stationery?At Hello!Lucky, we relish stationery that is simple, beautiful, intricate, and unique. Letterpress printing combines these elements with a luxurious, tactile charm. Each letterpress piece stimulates the senses with its crisp impression of the plate into soft, velvety paper, and its vivid, saturated colors. Writing on and sending letterpress stationery is one of life's little luxuries and a wonderful way to keep in touch. Letterpress is an artisanal printing technique that dates back centuries. Until the digital age, most books, newspapers, posters, and stationery were printed using a novel method of moveable type developed by Johannes Guttenberg in the 1400s. Individual letters forged out of lead were carefully hand set, inked and impressed into sheets of paper, creating one of the earliest forms of reproduction. Rediscovered and preserved by modern-day artists, including Hello!Lucky, letterpress stationery is an enduring link to one of our most influential traditions. The craft of printing high-quality letterpress stationery can take years to perfect. Each piece of Hello!Lucky stationery begins with a unique, creative inspiration. The design is then rendered, refined and made into plates, one for each color. Next, our printers ink their presses and print each plate separately, fitting the layers together to create the finished stationery product. The paper is then trimmed, scored and folded. Each piece of Hello!Lucky stationery is somewhat unique, and our personalized stationery is a reflection of both your personal style and the artists who helped create it.
