our letterpress Papers
bella Letterpress Cotton: We've partnered with an historic European paper mill--that has been creating artisan papers for the last 500 years—to make the perfect letterpress paper, exclusively for us. It’s luxuriously thick, with a subtly modern texture that showcases the best letterpress impression. Because our paper is tree-free, totally chlorine free, and made from reclaimed fibers, this paper supports our goal of sustainable printing. We're proud to support an artisan paper mill that shares our environmental values. This is the finest 100% cotton paper created for letterpress printing.
- White, 1-ply (300 gsm, .023”) and 2-ply (600 gsm, .046”)
- Ivory, 1-ply (300 gsm, .023”) and 2-ply (600 gsm, .046”)
our letterpress Envelopes
bella letterpress envelopes: We grew tired of printing on the flimsy flaps of commercial envelopes, so we made our own from the thickest premium paper possible (100# text, made with wind-power). Exclusively available at our print shop, these envelopes have a classic rectangular flap and are perfect for letterpress. Available in white and ivory.
Lined envelopes: We hand-line envelopes in a variety of papers, including paper with sparkle, paper with color, and handmade Japanese papers.
