February is filled with reminders to celebrate and express love. Is there any better way to do that than by putting pen to paper? Love letters don't have to be just for sweethearts—they're also for friends, family, and anyone who has made a positive impact on your life. If you have the time and inclination, we hope you’ll be inspired to connect with someone special through sending a note this month! And if you need stationery for your letter writing, visit our shop site (link in profile) to customize a set of letterpress printed cards of your own!

Our Story

ABOUT US

Sesame Letterpress is a design and letterpress printing studio in Brooklyn, NY. We have been working closely with clients for nearly twenty years to design and print custom stationery. We pride ourselves on our friendliness, professionalism and dedication to the art of letterpress printing. In a fast paced world, we think it’s important to take the time to slow down and still make things by hand. We know our clients go the extra mile to hand write and mail letters to people they care about. We want to make really beautiful stationery that they will love and be inspired to send!

LETTERPRESS PRINTING

Dating back to the 15th Century, letterpress printing is done by inking a plate with a raised surface of type or images and pressing this surface into a sheet of cotton paper, creating a tactile de-bossed impression. Each card is hand-fed into the press, one color at a time and one piece at a time. We print all of our own stationery using these traditional techniques with Victorian era cast iron presses.
