Ordering Custom Note Cards
When you work with Sesame Letterpress, you are supporting a small, woman-owned and operated business. Our antique presses date back to the 1880s and each card will be letterpress printed one piece at a time using this traditional method.
Our Pricing
Pricing includes design, one round of revisions, letterpress printing on heavy 184lb cotton paper (we believe this to be the prettiest paper for printing and for writing on), and packaging in a deluxe gift box.

Maybe. You’ll need to send us the details and understand that there would be an additional $75 design fee if we are laying out a totally custom design.
Our note card collection includes a variety of font styles. We recommend selecting from the collection. You can combine a font from one style with the imagery shown in another (for example, Mrs. Eaves font with the Rose design).
