Making Of: Ida Jo & The Movement 4 Panel Wallet

Here is a really fun video we did for Ida Jo & The Movement. We had a magnesium “mag” plate made for the entirety of her layout, so that we could print her text and the feather on the cover at the same time. Once printing was complete, we let them sit in the drying rack for a couple of days to cure.

The wallets were then die cut on our Heidelberg “windmill” Platen Press which would shape the wallet into the panels we need to hand-assemble.

Making Of: The People Brothers Band Package Set

The People Brothers Band was aiming for a really custom package set. We did a 6-panel tube digipack with an 18 panel poster on the inside.

Erin Edmister and 3 Tons

We just finished up this sweet handset cd sleeve and poster combo for Chicago’s Erin Edmister and 3 Tons. I love the picture of the lockup on the disc face. Check out the making of video on our facebook page or our Youtube channel.

The Miehle V36

Here you see our new (to us) Miehle Vertical V36. The mechanical wonder was built in 1926. We found it and brought it in from a scrap yard. Now that we’re finally in our new location, we were able to pull it off of the pallet that it was stored on and put it on […]

Printers In Print

Now that we’re getting settled in a bit more to the new shop, it’s been great to get back into the swing of things. Shortly after our move, we were interviewed by In Business Magazine; a regional publication that is going on 40 years now! We didn’t know that we were going to get the […]

Our Friends The Savages!

This was a neat project we did for Our Friends The Savages! We did a full set for them with their music. The 4-panel wallet CD package is printed on Kraft stock alongside a 12″ vinyl package. The vinyl package features a really custom owl printed on our 1940 Vandercook press. Afterwords it was custom […]

RED Business Card

Printing the Rogers Eckersley Design (RED) business cards was a really fun and engaging project for us. We did it all, between the layout of handset metal type, die-cutting the paper stock with a custom design, and printing. We printed on these with a Chandler & Price press from 1899! RED is a graphic design […]
