‘Letterpressed in Somerset by Pressed & Folded’ Greeting Cards
Our range of letterpressed greeting cards are printed in-house on a Josiah Wade 'Arab' treadle-operated clamshell platen press, manufactured in Halifax around 1900.
Although the Arab was originally designed to print with movable wooden or metal type, we use it to print our card designs from lino blocks that we have designed and hand-carved ourselves. Each card is individually printed by hand, making every one a little unique.
You can read more about the Arab press on The British Letterpress website.

Linocuts by Pressed & Folded
Each of our linocut prints are individually hand-inked and printed on our Stephenson Blake galley proofing press.
Originally used to produce proof prints for checking and correcting typeset pages before publication, this beautifully engineered press now gives life to our original hand-carved lino designs, one impression at a time.
Every print is tactile, honest, and full of character. Because each one is inked and printed by hand, no two impressions are ever exactly the same, making every print uniquely its own.
