I enjoyed reading this article. As a designer, there are so many avenues to explore when it comes to creating business and calling cards. However, I’ve always been partial to letterpress. This is the embossed effect when the physical typeface sorts are pressed into your card during the printing process. Definitely will set your card apart from the crowd in an elegant way. I found a website that specializes in this technique. http://www.letterpress-callingcards.com/ I am going to give them a try and post again with the results. Also for those interested in learning a bit more about letterpress, youtube has a great little documentary on the subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv69kB_e9KY

Kind regards,
Matt

Unfortunately, as far as I’ve been able to determine, the company no longer produces engraved calling cards. I maintain the engraving plate they prepared for me 17 years ago so guess I could obtain more engraved cards from Dempsey & Carroll.
