Custom design + custom letterpress printing

Our capabilities

Bella Figura offers completely custom letterpress design and printing, ranging from the simple to the extravagant. We can work with external graphic designers and press-ready files, or you can use our custom design services. Your job is to dream, and our job is to create your dream. With 12,000 square feet of space, 30 employees, 20 antique letterpresses, and an overwhelming passion for fine printing, we’re one of the most established large-hearted letterpress shops in the U.S. This means our capabilities are nearly endless: mixing flat printing with letterpress; mixing custom die-cutting with offset floods of color; creating custom envelope liners; edge painting; engraving; and more. In addition, our letterpress shop embraces progressive and environmental printing practices that make us one of the greenest letterpress shops in the country. We believe in attentive service, a respect of deadlines, impeccable fine printing, and a reckless enthusiasm for our craft way of printing.
