Send a part of yourself
Life’s little pleasures do not come in an instant. Neither should your message.
Stationary has redefined itself as more than just a communication device — as a work of art. There’s something instantly gratifying in receiving a handcrafted message. A connection develops between sender and receiver through the look, feel and smell of paper.
Don’t Press Me invitations and stationary replaces the personal touch lost in instant messaging. We utilize a more than 600-year-old technology, the letterpress, to handcraft unique, professional and special messages on some of the most beautiful papers available. Though motifs, ink and paper colors, we customize each invitation to reflect our customers’ style and story.
People who receive Don’t Press Me products know that they are holding more than just a note — they’re holding art, that will likely find itself on their refrigerator. Most importantly they know someone cared enough to touch them in a special way. It’s personal without being folky. It’s tangible. And it’s you
ABOUT DON’T PRESS ME:
Our commitment to superb quality sets our stationary and invitations apart. It’s the same commitment that led Johann Gutenberg to invent movable type in the 1400s, a technology we use today. Don’t Press Me designs unique messages for businesses and individuals for all occasions. The designs are unique because they’re a reflection of you — they’re based on your story, your style. We work with each customer to craft the perfect design, message and material to make the most impact.
First impressions are everything. Let Don’t Press Me translate your business or personal style into an identity that will resonate.”

We will be expanding our custom wedding invitation services to include letterpress printing in 2008.
Where are you located? Do you letterpress print custom designs by other designers? How would we begin to work on our first project with you?

Hello,
I stumbled upon your website and am taken with your creativity and art! I’ve been a calligrapher for 20 years and in one of our workshops years ago, we made lino prints after carving out our designs. I’m in love with the look! Since then, I’ve done several on “rubber” sheets and hope to do more. I’ve also done lots of printing on my Gocco printer…I love to do a piece of art and then duplicate it over and over…maybe it’s vanity!
And I was interested in the making of your polymer plates. I’m a promotional products “counselor” and distributor and part of my business is to make rubber stamps. The ones I make by hand use the almost the same process as you use on your plates.
Anyway, thanks for sharing…it was fun!

Hi,
I stumbled on your website–beautiful work–while I was searching for someone that can make magnesium(I think) plates (type high) for lettepress?
Someone once mentioned a company something like “Owassa,” do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
