Marren LetterpressProvidence · since 2009

What we print

Most of our work falls into one of four kinds. Each is quoted on the paper, the number of colours, and the size of the run — a card printed one colour is a very different job from a three-pass invitation suite.

Correspondence & stationery

Letterhead, folded notes, flat cards, and envelopes. Printed on 110 lb cotton, with optional blind deboss, edge paint, or deckle trim. Minimum run of 100.

Invitation suites

Save-the-dates, invitations, reply cards, and details. Set from your copy, proofed on the press, and printed in one to three hand-mixed colours.

Business & trade cards

Thick duplexed stock, single or double sided, with optional foil applied by a trade partner. A shop favourite for makers and studios.

Broadsides & editions

Poems, prints, and short-run books for writers and binders. Numbered editions set in metal type where the text allows.

How a job runs

From copy to delivered box

1 · Quote
We price on paper, colours, and run.
2 · Proof
A press proof for you to mark up.
3 · Print
Each colour is a separate pass.
4 · Finish
Trim, score, and pack by hand.

Lead time is usually three to four weeks from approved proof. Rush work is taken when the press schedule allows.
