Fine Paper Goods
Beyond greeting cards, we create notebooks, folios, and printed compositions that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Notebooks
Hand-bound notebooks featuring letterpress or embossed covers. Pages are selected for their writing quality and texture. Bindings are sewn or stitched, creating volumes that lie flat when open.
Folios
Printed folios designed for presentation, correspondence, or documentation. Heavy paper stock and careful printing create pieces that feel substantial and considered.
Print Compositions
Standalone printed pieces conceived as art objects. These compositions explore typography, imagery, and the physical qualities of paper and ink.
Paper Selection
We work with cotton, linen, and specialty paper stocks. Each selection is made based on the intended use and the printing techniques involved.
Custom Bindings
Binding methods are chosen to complement the design and intended use. We work with traditional techniques adapted for contemporary applications.
Production Approach
Each paper good is produced in small batches. We maintain control over every aspect of production, from material selection through finishing. This approach allows us to ensure quality and respond to specific requirements.
For custom projects, we collaborate with clients to understand their needs and develop solutions that balance aesthetic goals with functional requirements. The small-batch approach enables flexibility and attention to detail.
Binding Techniques
We employ various binding methods depending on the project requirements. Sewn bindings provide durability and allow notebooks to lie flat. Stitched bindings offer flexibility for thinner volumes.
For folios and presentation pieces, we may use simple folding techniques or more complex binding methods that enhance the presentation while maintaining functionality.
Functional Design
While aesthetics are important, functionality is equally valued. Notebooks are designed for actual use, with considerations for writing comfort, page turnability, and overall durability.
Folios are sized for standard envelopes and document storage. Print compositions are designed with framing and display in mind, considering standard frame sizes and mounting requirements.
Material Quality
We source materials from reputable suppliers who share our commitment to quality. Paper stocks are selected not only for appearance but for durability, archival properties, and compatibility with our printing processes.
