Loving paper this much feels so right. This newly-arrived pallet received hugs of joy…I’m not saying who did it.

Our Stronghold
In pre-press, King Tut stands guard over the imagesetters, helping wand off unruly files.
Attaining Age
One of the benefits of being an old-timer here at Boxcar is getting a letterpress named after me. I salute you back, dear Boxcar.
A Day in our letterpress shop: Big Red Door.
In the Smock area is a big red door that is very sturdy and slides on rails with a good heave. Behind this door is where we keep our lovable, strange IT team.
Printer Shoes
Printer shoes are happy shoes. Thanks for the fine display Mr. Patrick!
Ladies of Letterpress Conference
My very dear Cathy went to the Ladies of Letterpress Conference recently. (Read the post about her experience here!) She brought back many fine items, it did bring a tear to my eye to see this magnificent array! There are so many talented people out there, such a crowd of kindred souls that love this craft. Keep it up, do more! Next year’s conference will take too long to get here.
Working in Comfort
Here at Boxcar, we believe in comfortable working environments. If you run a press I hope you have an anti-fatigue mat of your own. Cushy flooring really makes a huge difference running a letterpress all day or just for a few hours.
Fancy edges
Take a look at one of our newest Smock offerings- fancy diecut shapes with edge painting added on.
Luscious Waves
Jeff is printing these wonderful waves in a dark blue ink on ivory cotton paper.
Partytime
To celebrate 10,000 orders and Bella Figura launching online ordering, we had a party today! Balloons, festive fruit, tables outside loaded with food and people! What more could we ask for? The weather was perfect, and the cake was delicious. Lovely.
