📍 A note about digital printing: We do not offer digital printing in-house (we know our area of expertise, and that's not it!). We love to add letterpress and die cutting to client supplied digital prints. For this process, you’ll submit your print files to us for review before sending off to your favorite digital printer (ours is Printswell) and we’ll send approval with quantity and size requirements.

Before ordering your paper please reach out to us first. We have size and quantity requirements that need to be considered before ordering.

We do not print at final size. We print on a larger piece of paper that we then trim down. This allows us to make sure alignment is on-point and that all those edges are CRISP and clean. Our printing press has grippers, which are used to hold the paper in place while it’s printing, and because of that we cannot print at final size.
We can print at final size for handmade paper, but all designs need to be at least 1” from the top or the bottom to allow space for the grippers.
Every ink color is hand mixed and applied to a system of rollers before each print is hand-fed through the press. Given the manual nature of all aspects of the print process, slight variations in ink distribution, pressure, and alignment occur, making each print unique.
We have 119 (and counting) dies in our in-house library for your use! We are also happy to order a new die with your custom die line for any project!
SHARED COST DIES:
Stationer to Stationer shares the cost of most custom dies 50/50 with clients. If a custom die costs $100, you pay $50, and we pay $50*. We keep the die in our library for future use by all of our clients, including you!
If you prefer the die to be proprietary, you would then pay the full cost of the die. You keep the die proprietary and pay 100% of the new die fee. We will keep it in our studio and you can use it anytime you want, and no one needs to know. We’re really good at keeping secrets. (We can ship the die to you if you prefer to have it).
FULL COST DIES:
S2S does not share costs for die-cut shapes that are highly specific to the current design and may not be readily adaptable for future use. We evaluate proposed die-cut shapes for shared cost based on versatility and reusability across other design projects.
*All die-cut shapes with a cost exceeding $250 will be evaluated for shared cost approval.
Our goal is to make your ability to play with fun die cut shapes more doable in your client projects! If you need a die that is not in this library, email us at [email protected] with a vector file. Dies can vary in price, so we'll always get a quote before you commit to anything.
