17 Great Letterpress Business Cards That Define Past and Present Craftsmanship

With the advancement of technology, sometimes it is good to move forward quickly, but sometimes it is good to connect with the past and use trusted precedents for print. With Letterpress Business Cards you get an old style printing method that has evolved from functionality into an art form. At Jukebox Print we understand that human creativity, just like the human body is constantly surpassing itself and raising the bar to new heights. By surpassing ourselves in Letterpress, we tested our skills and perfected the art and the result is the ability create unique things never seen before.

While we understand that looking at a picture of a Letterpress Business Card might not warm your soul quite like looking at a painting by Matisse does. Even still, we hope our work inspires you. Maybe after this, you will think Letterpress Business Cards are as cool as we do.

    These business cards are amazing. Some of the designs here are really great, but the finish is what’s impressive. The shapes, quality and colours really stand out. If you received one of these you would remember it!

    These are great examples of print/letterpress on business cards, but I have one pet peeve.

    Some of these would have cost a substantial amount of money to create, yet they’ve printed their @gmail or @yahoo emails on them. For a couple of bucks they can get their own domain email addresses which makes it look so much more professional. I know it doesn’t change how good the service they provide, but it does appear a lot more professional.
