FOR THE SEMI-CUSTOM COLLECTIONS
The Studio Library
Paper, presses, inks, and finishes.
A quiet reference for the materials that go into every Semi-Custom suite. The collection chooses the design; the library is where you choose how it's pressed, what it's pressed on, and the ink that carries it.

STEP TWO
Print Methods
Three ways we put ink to paper
Digital Printing
Refined color, faithfully rendered.
For suites where saturation, illustration, or gradient detail are central to the design. Printed on our digital press with the same papers as our pressed work.
PAPER
110lb or 240lb smooth eggshell.
Letterpress
The method closest to our hearts.
Each sheet hand-fed into a plate that physically presses into the paper, leaving an impression you can read with your fingertips. Pressed on Lagertha or Bella.
PAPER
110lb or 220lb 100% cotton, handmade, or seeded handmade.
Foil Stamping
Light, caught and held.
Heat and pressure marry metallic foil to fine paper, producing a raised, shimmering finish that catches and holds the light. Pressed on Opal.
PAPER
110lb or 220lb 100% cotton, handmade, or seeded handmade.
STEP THREE
Signature Papers
A small house library of stocks we trust.
Paper Thickness
All papers are available in single weight or double ply — a subtle but meaningful difference you'll feel the moment you hold it. Note that handmade paper is available in single weight only.
Paper Type
We use Eggshell for Digital printing and Cotton for Letterpress and Foil Stamping, both available in Fluorescent White and Pearl White. These are our signature paper selections, included in your Semi-Custom pricing. Custom colors are available for an additional fee.
Handmade Paper
Available for Letterpress and Foil Stamping only, our handmade paper adds a beautifully organic quality to any suite. Seeded paper is available upon request.
Beatrice Collection Note: Because of the border, we do not recommend Handmade Paper for this design. If you do chose handmade paper, we will remove the border.
STEP FOUR
Signature Inks
A house palette, mixed in studio.
STEP FIVE
Signature Envelopes
The first impression, set before the suite is opened.
STEP SIX
Suite Enhancements
Optional details we love to add.
Fine Art Envelope Liners
Digitally printed liners that carry the design from outside in.
Signature Dupioni Silk
Our signature ribbon, in a small library of hand-selected colors.
Signature Die Cuts
Scalloped, arched, and ornamental shapes — or custom on request.
