Thumbs up Wedding Invitation Cards Using 'L' Letterpress Kit

What is letterpress printing?


Letterpress printing is one of the world's oldest and most beautiful printing techniques. It was the predominant form of printing text in the west from its invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century until the 19th century and remained in wide use for books and other uses until the second half of the 20th century.

The standard letterpress process involves printing words or designs with ink while simultaneously debossing it into thick soft paper. Letterpress printing's strengths are crisp lines, patterns, and typography.

Printing Your Own Wedding Invitation Cards


Commercial letterpress printing machines are rare and expensive and the cost of printing could cost up to SGD $15 a piece.

With the 'L' Letterpress kit from LifeStyleCrafts, you can now do it on your own and achieve that rich, luxurious three dimensional debossed effect without spending a bomb.
