Our new Logo

It has been 6 exciting months since Essie Letterpress went on maternity leave, but all good things come to and end.
To mark our return we decided to give ourselves a bit of a spit and polish. So we got hold of Jordan Metclaf, one of South Africa's premier typographers, to spin some of his magic our way.

The results came our clean and crisp with a lovely classical whimsy splashed all over it.

We hope you like it, we sure do.

Coast to Coasters

We are launching an exiting new project soon called Travel Coasters. It is a set of 9 coasters, each celebrating a different province in South Africa. All the design work is done and now its up that mountain called Printing.
 Here is a preview

A new arrival....

As most of you will have realised we have a little bun in the oven due to arrive any day now.... and we are super, duper excited!

We have designed and printed the Baby shower invites, and will hopefully do the same for the Birth Announcements, although who knows if I will have the time for this?

I will be on Maternity Leave from now until the beginning of August, and as a result will not be able to help you with any printing needs. Ben will however still be available to offer a Design service for those of you who would like to get invites etc designed by us. You can contact him on ben@gribholm.co.za

We are really looking forward to this special time in our lives, and I look forward to getting  back to work later in the year.

Our online store will still be operational during this Maternity period.

Clare and Richard Wedding Invitations

These are the most recent wedding invitations that we have designed and printed.

The bridal couple wanted a Wild Olive Tree to be the central icon of the invitation, with a decorative border around it.

They went with an A6 size, landscape format printed on a textured Cream paper in a handmixed Lilac and Sage Green.
