Letterpress Postcards on Ultra Thick 38pt Cotton Stock
There is a certain weight to meaningful moments, the kind you can feel before you even read the message. Our letterpress postcards on ultra thick 38pt cotton stock are designed to capture exactly that feeling. Crafted using traditional letterpress techniques, these pieces are not just printed, they are pressed, sculpted, and brought to life through time honoured craftsmanship.
Each postcard begins with luxuriously thick, 100 percent cotton paper, substantially heavier than standard stocks, with a rich, pillowy softness that immediately signals quality. At 38 points, the thickness is unmistakable in hand, offering a presence that feels deliberate, substantial, and refined. When paired with letterpress printing, this premium cotton stock allows for a deep, tactile impression that transforms design into a physical experience.
As ink meets paper, artwork is pressed into the surface, leaving behind a sculpted impression that adds depth and dimension to every detail, whether it is fine typography, an elegant monogram, or a minimalist layout. The result is understated yet striking, a piece that invites touch as much as it captures attention.
Printed using one or two Pantone spot colours and foils each postcard delivers exceptional colour fidelity and crisp, clean lines. Pantone inks ensure that every tone, from soft neutrals to bold wedding palettes, remains consistent and sophisticated, making these postcards a preferred choice for designers, wedding planners, and clients who value precision and elegance.
*please note we do not offer floods / full ink coverage on letterpress cards.

The Impact of 38pt Cotton
What truly sets these postcards apart is the stock itself. The ultra thick 38pt cotton is engineered for deep impression printing. Its soft fibres allow for a pronounced, dimensional press that cannot be achieved on standard paper. The result is a piece that feels substantial, intentional, and unmistakably premium.
