General information

SHED LETTERPRESS is an independent letterpress studio located in Durham,
North Carolina. We run a 1954 Heidelberg Windmill letterpress and
specialize in reasonably-priced, high quality letterpress for a variety of
clients. From brides to banks, to short-run artist prints, we’re happy to
crank out some tactile letterpress goodness for you.From the velvet nap of
our tree-free papers to the distinct imprint of the type, Shed Letterpress
creates sophisticated keepsakes that immediately announce their handcrafted
character. Each piece of paper, each color, each run of the press is
singular, culminating in an elegant, yet highly individual item.At Shed, we
are committed to keeping things small, handcrafted, and personal, and we
strive to create an environment where all of our clients and designers feel
like friends. We offer in-house letterpress printing, foil stamping, edge
painting, and die-cutting, and are happy to project manage pieces requiring
multiple processes, such as digital and letterpress printing, or
letterpress and binding services.We offer in-house letterpress printing,
foil stamping, edge painting, and die-cutting on a 1954 10x15" Heidelberg
Windmill. Owner Sarah Almond was trained at venerable NYC print shop Press

New York City Ballet. Our standard for quality is impeccable, and we aim to
do the same for the environment. All of our packaging is recycled or made
from post-consumer waste materials. We recycle all of our plate material
and paper overage as well, in addition to using low-VOC solvents and
rubber-based inks.
