Letterpress Printing
in the Philippines
Plate 04 is the oldest machine in the building and the one nothing else can replace. Type pressed physically into thick paper — for invitations, cards and keepsakes that get kept.
Some things shouldn't just be printed. They should be felt.
Letterpress is the original craft: artwork pressed into the sheet hard enough to leave an impression you can trace with a fingertip. Flat printing tells people what your event is. Letterpress tells them what it means.
- Deep, tactile impression that signals quality before a word is read.
- Built for keepsakes — invitations, certificates and cards that survive the event.
- Foil, embossing & die-cutting in-house — the full luxury stack, one roof.
- Thick premium stocks that letterpress was made for.

Finishing, same floor
Letterpress Printing in Manila,
with the finishes to match
Foil stamping, embossing and die-cutting are done in the same building as the press — so an invitation suite or a luxury card gets every finish without a hand-off to another supplier.
- Foil stamping — gold, silver, copper and coloured hot foil for names, monograms, borders and logos.
- Embossing & debossing — raised or recessed detail, blind or combined with foil and ink.
- Die-cutting & edge work — custom shapes, rounded corners, pockets and belly bands for suites and packaging.

Letterpress, answered
What is letterpress best for?
Pieces meant to be kept: wedding invitations, embossed business cards, certificates, premium brand collateral. If it's going in a drawer as a memory instead of a bin, it belongs on this plate.
Can I combine it with foil or embossing?
Yes — and you should. Foil stamping, embossing and die-cutting all happen in-house, so wedding suites and luxury cards get the full treatment without leaving the building.
