Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Printery?

The Printery is a New York institution with roots going back to 1970, dedicated to the art of fine stationery through hand engraving and letterpress printing.

What tradition does The Printery represent?

In a world of digital communication, The Printery preserves—and elevates—the irreplaceable pleasure of correspondence rendered in exquisite paper, bold color, and the unmistakable texture of hand-engraved ink. Their work is an affirmation that the written word, beautifully dressed, remains one of the most powerful forms of human connection.

What products does The Printery offer?

The Printery produces a full range of fine personalized stationery and paper goods, including custom invitations, personal note cards, holiday cards, birth announcements, and place cards—all available in hand engraving and letterpress techniques. The collection also includes the brand’s acclaimed, best-selling Calendar with Easel.

What is hand engraving?

Hand engraving is among the most ancient and exacting of the printing arts: a design is incised into a metal plate by a skilled engraver, then inked and pressed against paper under great pressure. This leaves a slightly raised, tactile impression that is impossible to replicate by any modern digital method.

Why does hand engraving distinguish The Printery's work?

The result of hand engraving is stationery with a depth of color, crispness of line, and physical presence that speaks immediately to those who receive it. It is the mark of correspondence taken seriously—and of a sender who understands the language of quality.

Can The Printery stationery be personalized?

Yes. Personalization is central to The Printery’s offering—from monogrammed note cards and custom-colored invitations to bespoke wedding suites and engraved holiday cards, every piece can be tailored to reflect the individual. The 2026 Calendar with Easel is available in ten paper color options with a choice of brass or chrome easel.

Is The Printery stationery well-suited as a gift?

Yes. Few gifts convey as much thoughtfulness and sophistication as a set of beautifully engraved personal stationery. The annual Calendar with Easel is an especially elegant gift for the professional or creative who appreciates objects of both beauty and daily utility.
