They offer bespoke printing in all traditional print processes- engraving, foil stamping, letterpress- and a modern digital line.  Additionally, Kate creates custom monograms, crests and illustrations for gifts, invitations and stationery.

“Each piece of paper is hand-fed through antique presses, which allows for the unique look and character of the products,” says Kate.  It is a meticulous, finicky, and at times, pain-staking process, but the result is a thing of beauty.  Letterpress is the oldest form of printing available.  Pickett’s Press is the only stationer still using 100% hand drawn designs.  They offer bespoke printing in all traditional print processes- engraving, foil stamping, letterpress- and a modern digital line.
