Letterpress Tags

Letterpress is a printing technique greatly used in history. But since the 20th century days of offset printing and digital printing, letterpress is no longer widely used.  However, because of its one-of-a-kind debossing impression that is created as the paper is kissed with ink, letterpress as made a recent revival as an admirable form of paper art.

These letterpress tags are handmade by Bucket of Kisses, and are pigmented with a shimmery, metallic copper ink. 


The paper is debossed as ink is pressed onto the surface.
















This copper ink sparkles in the sunlight.  We love it!
