Generation Letterpress

Scrub — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:50:04 +0000

For years we have dreamt of bringing letterpress printing in house, especially as my Grandfather and Great Grandfather were both compositors. With the craft of printing being so popular we have, for some time now, been getting the right equipment and the ideal set up in place.
-
At Generation Press printing is our livelihood, we have to view letterpress printing in the same way we do for litho or foil block printing, setting high standards to give our customers a letterpress solution.
-
Letterpress is very close to our hearts, it is part of our heritage and that heritage is in manufacturing. We look forward to being challenged by you with yet another print process we can offer.

Press Invitation for Yellow Door
-
This really lovely piece combines black with overprinting fluorescent inks, with matt black foil details to the reverse. The show through and the impression of the letterpress-like matt black foil makes this invite quite mesmeric.

D&AD Awards dinner tickets, designed by NB:Studio
-
This is our most recent work for D&AD and our first real opportunity to work with NB:Studio,
D&AD had put us together for this project, it was a real pleasure to work with the guys at NB they really valued our input into how best to produce this ticket and envelope. We hadn’t worked together before so building trust quickly was key to getting this project to look so good!
-
One side of the ticket was was foil-blocked in white and yellow foil on black Colorplan, the reverse was printed lithographically on white Colorplan, we then duplexed the two together and die cut with radius corners to give a lovely sturdy 700 gsm Ticket.
-
The envelope was was made from Black Colorplan with a large foil blocked image in white foil that came out really crisp and clear, we then die cut the envelope and made it up, with a die cut sticker to secure it closed.
-
Congratulations to NB:Studio for such amazing visuals and livery for the ceremony, it was mind blowingly good!

The Rug Company Invitations

Wow this one really did push the boat out and pushed all the boundaries, a four colour image was printed to a flock surface, special preparation to the press was required for this! probably the hardest surface we have printed on, as the sheet goes under impression the nap of the flock goes one way or the other so it was important to get the press set up as precisely as possible as each colour goes down the surface could move.
