Exclusive cooperation  

Onlineprinters has teamed up with an Essen-based printing partner to offer the letterpress technology. The machines used to produce the business cards are printing presses of the type "Cylinder" or "Tiegel" in mint condition from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, all from the heyday of letterpress printing. However, the blocks are no longer set manually as in the past. Instead, engraving photopolymer printing blocks are created based on the digital data.

This printing method is ideal for business cards and their graphic designs intended to create a classy and elegant impression. "Clear colours and the relief-like imprint give the printed products a special touch. This is why letterpress printing will continue to be appreciated increasingly by designers and graphic artists looking for something out of the ordinary," says Sven Winterstein, Director of Letterpresso, the printing partner of Onlineprinters. He discovered his passion for the traditional printing method more than ten years ago. Since then, he has been collecting letterpresses from manufacturer Heidelberger and has become the leading provider of letterpress printing solutions in the German-speaking region.

Stylish business cards for design lovers 

Onlineprinters is the first service provider to make letterpress printed business cards available online in more than 30 countries. "We have identified the B2B trend of wanting to make a memorable impression with sophisticated print products," says Michael Fries. "So it makes sense to expand our product range by letterpress business cards to win even more discerning customers."
