A Multinational Announcement

Our client Sarah is a vital, young French woman living in America. When she gave birth to twins and wanted to announce the big day to both her French and American friends and family, the team at Reservoir Press was ready for this unique design challenge. A layout was conceived for both the announcement and the return address (to accommodate her homes both in the US and Europe) that would spread the news across the language barrier. But the design team went even further for this client. Sarah's love of old fashioned toys was also incorporated into a design meant to evoke both her own childhood, as well as the passing on of tradition to her children.

Typical letterpress studios that work with generic, pre-designed templates could not have met Sarah's needs the way we could. That is why our focused attention to our client's individuality makes Reservoir Press excell in its letterpress production.

A Truly Handcrafted Announcement

When the Tripletts sent Reservoir Press the text for the baby announcement card the handwriting was so perfect that the design team at Reservoir Press used it to create the plate for printing the cards and the envelopes. Merry and Cliff are outdoor types, so the card was crafted to reflect not only the love for their newborn, but also the love for the world into which they brought him. The image of the tree and the handwritten text were both crafted by the client. Reservoir then took the design the next step through an unusual combination of letterpress and silkscreen to create a truly unique look for this medium.

We at Reservoir Press are always looking to work closely with our clients to create a personalized and treasured memento in letterpress and beyond.

A Custom Birth Announcement for a Client in The Big Easy

This unique birth announcement was created by Reservoir Press specifically for this one project. Our design team made all the drawings for this invite, from which the perfect one was ultimately selected. Selecting the right design, ink color, text, paper, and envelopes is all part of the process of tailoring each job to the specific needs of our clients.

This is the Reservoir way.

Reservoir Press Works Seamlessly with the Client to Announce Another Birth

While Reservoir Press will work to design any kind of letterpress project for our clients, we also will gladly help our customers translate their own images into print. In this case our designers worked in close conjunction with artist John Gonzalez who wanted to draw his own image to announce the birth of his son. After helping the client to work through several design ideas, we took his final draft and prepared his image for press.

At Reservoir Press we will work with our clients in any way that gets the job done so that it exceeds their expectation.
