About Letterpress Printing

Letterpress printing is a relief printing process in which inked type, engravings or cuts are pressed against (or kiss) a substrate (paper, chipboard, etc...), leaving an impression much like a stamp. The inherent charm of this method lies in the imperfections and hand-printed nature of the process, which makes each print slightly different, a far cry from the automated approach of modern-day printing, which aims for no variances from one print to the next. This definition is partially borrowed from an older version of the Starshaped Press Web site - http://www.starshaped.com

Update – Short-run, one-price Letterpress Printed CD Sleeves

The Hand Work Press introduces affordable short-run one-price letterpress printing for CD sleeves…-UPDATE – Since I first wrote my little manifesto here, and created this pricing scheme the demand has been incredible. I’ve been blown away by the interest, and also the work that has come in, even having to turn down some. With that in mind, I’ve also come to realize that some of my initial pricing wasn’t realistic, and I’ve taken some losses, financially, to keep my word, but now I need to shift things around a bit… I’ve created a new pricing page for other short-run, one-price letterpress printed CD sleeves. I’m also still offering a $180 (US shipping included package)

Short-run one-price letterpress printed CD sleeves breaks down likes this:

I will letterpress print 100, one-side, one-color, CD packages for $180 (includes US shipping) of our Two-panel CD Sleeve Insert (w/ 100 Plastic CD Sleeves included) – Paper Stock of your choosing (I like French Paper, 100lb Cover options):

Ink colors you can choose from include:
Black, Gray, Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, White, Reflex Blue, Yellow, and Red. No mix and match, and you can pick one.

Satisfaction is 100% guaranteed, just return the sleeves, and I will return your money in full. I’m not looking for one-off relationships, where I take the money and run. I want to develop strategic partnerships with labels, artists and other Do-It-Yourselfers like myself…
