Letterpress

A traditional relief printing method that creates a tactile impression in the paper.

Why it matters

Letterpress is part of the methods phase of a print job. Marketers who understand it can brief printers more clearly and avoid costly proofing rounds.

In your workflow

  • Confirm specifications with your printer before file delivery.
  • Document standards in your brand guidelines so every job is consistent.
  • Always request a hard proof for large runs.
