Letterpress Hangtags?

[Prosperi-Tees]

Anyone got a line for these? Similar to this:
Tried silkcards and a the usual printing places with no luck

you can try mama's sauce, but they'll be pricey

Not an easy find.. very much a dying art for commercial printing but a good hobbyist base. ... These guys are the crap and do amazing work,located in Portland Oregon.

Far from you, but in my area:

Talk to Elias or Matt. They do great work and have been doing letterpress for a very long time. I'm sure they can take care of you. Super nice people.

I rent space to a letterpress shop, they can definitely do this.  appalachiapress.com

Amazing work.

Sweet thanks guys!

I hope I'm not being too spammy because I'm more of a lurker here, but we do letterpress printing and we could definitely do die-cut letterpress hang tags just like that. Our website is www.riseandshinepaper.com.

Just got a flatbed screen press so we're excited to be offering that soon too (if we can get good enough at it).

Isn't that example blind debossed?

[riseandshine]

That's right, blind debossed! It's just like letterpress printing but without the ink, and with the impression cranked all the way.

We do it on 1950s Heidelberg letterpress printing presses. When you use soft paper, especially 100% Cotton paper, you can get the deepest imprint into the sheet.

Sometimes if we need to make an extra-deep imprint, we will use a metal die on our hot foil stamping press, a 1970's Kluge. The heat helps to flatten the paper fibers for an crisp look.

Then we will die-cut the sheet after printing if it is a special shape. Otherwise it is trimmed on the guillotine paper cutter.

You're talking to a former die-stamper, and across the room, we had two "windmills" and a big Kluge for foil.

Aren't they amazing? We have 4 Windmills and 2 Kluges here. I used to be very much in love with the Windmills, but the Kluges have been winning me over. The Kluge feeder is a thing to behold. Here's one in action for anyone curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNmHT_C0LQM. Not my machine, wish it was, looks tight.
