Starshaped Press

All Metal, All The Time (Except When It's Wood)

Imprinting posters at ATA

One of clients, Realtree, invited us to attend the annual Archery Trade Show in Columbus, Ohio over the second week of January. We borrowed a great little sign press from our friends at Letterform and imprinted about 150 different posters for their clients, dealers and shops. Check out the posters as well as our space at the show here.

2011... a great year!

2011 was one of the best for Starshaped Press. We repeatedly knocked ourselves on the side of the head and resisted the urge to quote Lloyd Dobler… ‘I can’t believe people pay me for this!’
We’ve compiled just a handful of our favorite jobs and you can check them out here. Looking forward to more inspiring clients in 2012!

The 12th Annual Starshaped Press open house!

Tis the season to celebrate our 12th year with a stellar holiday open house! You’ve helped us make 2012 a fantastic year and we want to thank you and share some of our favorite projects. Join us this Saturday, November 12th, between 7-10pm for good cheer and conversation, not to mention seeing the studio at its best. We’ll be lifting a glass to our 8×12 C+P platen press, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year (cupcakes, anyone?), and you can print your own birthday card to keep or share.
We’ve got tons of new prints that are perfect for gifts, as well as a large assortment of holiday cards, many of which are on sale.
How about wrapping some of those small gifts on your list? We’ve got some killer new wood type printed wrapping paper in two color options. Round out your packages with some of our varied tags and garlands, or use them as excellent and useful hostess gifts.
It’s not too late for custom work, but orders need to be placed by Thanksgiving. We can customize cards in our collection or create something entirely new.
And pick up some thank you note sets to have on hand after the holiday rush!
