About this vendor
At Old North State Press, we are dedicated to preserving the tradition and craft of fine letterpress printing. We started our journey with the acquisition of a simple cylinder press over 18 years ago.
In addition to supporting custom client work where the unique characteristics of letterpress printing is desired, we produce original designs for stationery, note cards, wedding invitations, birth announcements, broadsides and other printed matter.
Above all, we most enjoy collaborating with our clients and other designers to make beautiful things.

I am a designer working on the branding for an interesting local business in Raleigh, NC, Brewery Bhavana: brewery, flowershop, dim sum restaurant, and bookstore. Old North State Press did multiple jobs for this project — all of them were top-notch! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a high-quality print/design, something very tactile, and something that has a personal touch. They use old letterpress machines – I was able to see the process, and it is the only way to get this kind of quality. Way better than digital printing. We looked for a long time to find a printer who could produce the best quality at a good value. This is the best by far and I will continue giving them my business. They offer really beautiful printing techniques like gold/silver/colored foil and embossing. They are very good about selecting the best paper, ink, and process to bring the design to life. I used them for two postcard designs, stationary, menus, and giftcards. See their Instagram for photos of these projects — I can explain the quality in writing, but you really need to see it, or better yet: if you are in the Raleigh, NC area, go check out Brewery Bhavana to see the menus.
Old North State Press created custom invitations for two of my daughters and their weddings. After my first daughter's experience, we couldn't imagine partnering with anyone else for wedding number two!
Chris was exceptional from start to finish, providing custom design, excellent materials, flawless production, and professional communication. In each case, he got to know my daughter and son-in-law and what they wanted in the way of invitations, but also learned about their event, and their interests, tastes, and style. Then he went through an iterative design process, proposing some concepts and color palettes, throwing some away, and coming up with new ideas, until the perfect concept was landed on in the eyes of the wedding couple. Then further iterations to refine and work out all of the details. He offered options for paper stock, fonts, imagery, and packaging, but also offered expertise on the printing and packaging process to end up with something truly special. Chris is a craftsman who pours himself into his craft. He's detail oriented and eager to please. Plus he's a genuinely nice person.
In the end, there was no drama, no missed expectations, no miscommunications, just execution on time as promised and a result that was beautiful and unique. Couldn't recommend anyone more strongly.
