The 2025 Louie Awards were held earlier this week, and we are so proud and happy to announce that one of our designs won! There are many talented designers and printers in this industry, so being named a finalist for a Louie Award is an honor in itself. To take home the top honors is exciting, and it also speaks to the hard work put in by everyone on our team, from design and prepress to production and finishing. We are fortunate to have a talented and skilled group of individuals who work together to create all the beautiful invitations, holiday cards, announcements, social stationery, and more.

This year marked the 36th annual Louies. The Greeting Card Association organizes this honor, which strives to recognize the art and design of stationery that marks life’s milestones.

You can see a gallery of all of this year’s Louie Award finalists and winners here.

We had a total of three designs that were finalists for the 2025 Louie Awards. Our Murphy design by Meghan O’Brien won in the category of Invitations & Announcements. Murphy is a fun holiday card design that features a postcard that fits inside a larger die-cut card shaped like a mailbox.

The postcard features ruby letterpress printing on the front, accompanied by a digitally printed message. A family photo adorns the back of the card.

The mailbox die-cut card features both foil stamping and foil embossing in gold shine on our 2-ply Ruby stock. Foil stamping presses the foil into the paper, while foil embossing creates a raised detail, which for this card is also highlighted with gold shine foil. A blind deboss accent creates a border around some of the text, adding even more dimension to the card.
