Welcoming Committee

Welcoming Committee

We partner with creative people, agencies and brands, crafting true connections between their world and yours.

We create intimate physical moments – applying stories, branding and logo design to packaging, direct mail, stationery, business cards and invitations.

While we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty with experimentation, we’re always hungry for perfection.

Always hungry, never satisfied.

FOR WORK THAT HOLDS WEIGHT

Like you, we obsess over the details.

We know that every project that comes through our doors is one-of-a-kind. We're for people that don't cut corners. We take time. We create a dialogue with our clients to reach a finished product that is true to their vision, maximises value and minimises waste. We welcome the creative community who take risks, ask questions and keep their heads in the clouds.

Second Nature

For us, sustainability has always been second nature. It's embedded in our process, our method and our people. All our work is powered by green energy – we can even letterpress your project without electricity – just good old fashioned human power. The paper stocks we use and recommend are uncoated, recycled and often tree-free. We consider the finished product, the materials and our impact on our world.

We do this for us, for you, your clients and our future.

OUR PRINT

Open Minds

Our design sensibilities combined with extensive production knowledge creates physical experiences that are touching and can be touched, leaving behind an indelible impression.

We work with clients of all different kinds, from furniture makers to industry super funds, cafe owners to couples on their way down the aisle – anyone that wants to make a meaningful connection in the real world.

OUR DESIGN

We make a range of everyday notebooks and stationery that are made more than sustainable: we're using 50% of our profits to support mental health and regenerating forests in Australia. It's the culmination of everything that is dear to us. We call it Off–Line.

Get Off-Line

You're
Welcome

TOGETHER WE’LL MAKE YOUR NEXT PROJECT AMAZING.

We welcome all of our clients to collaborate and share in the process. Face-to-face consultation for each project provides opportunity to exchange ideas. Final press checks before the project runs ensures you know exactly what you're getting, and from who – right here in our Northcote studio.

For us, there’s fulfilment in the journey of creation.

Say Hello

We love to curate, exhibit, talk and write about our design process and our craft of letterpress printing, and support fellow creatives doing the same.
