<p class="has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph">To stationery stalwarts, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Egg Press (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.eggpress.com/" target="_blank">Egg Press</a> is to letterpress cards what, say, Coach is to handbags: They helped redefine a then-forgotten object to a new glory. The Portland house of letterpress not only churns out a vibrant and rather prolific range of cards, art prints and gift wrap, they also quietly &#8216;press the wares and handle the licensing, manufacturing, and fulfillment of several prominent card designers, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Hello!Lucky (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.hellolucky.com/" target="_blank">Hello!Lucky</a> and ASHKAHN among them. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Egg Press sprung to life when Tess Darrow starting printing custom stationery in her downtime — and, 20 years later, it&#8217;s swelled to a team of 20 who design, print, and bring to market over 750,000 letterpress greeting cards per year, sold in over 1,000 shops across the world. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At 20, the press is still edgy, still most distinctive &#8230; and now rather established. And to thank every stockist, every custom job and collaboration and everyone who’s penned a note in one of their cards, Egg Press is offering 20% off all retail orders all month. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their massive body of work is still overseen by Tess, who&#8217;s been joined by her right-hand-woman Kara Yanagawa. If the prevailing wisdom that letterpress takes 20 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master is true, let&#8217;s just say they&#8217;re well along that path. The design duo keeps analog relevant in a tech-y world with a mastery of color combined with signature blend of surprise and sweetness, elevated by clever details like peek-a-boo die-cuts and rounded edges. </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-62033" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-62033 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="62033" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-17800 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-artisan tag-artist tag-calligraphy tag-chavelli tag-chavelli-tsui tag-design tag-event-branding tag-luxury tag-made-by-hand tag-sarah-schwartz tag-save-the-date tag-save-the-date-scrolls tag-stationery tag-the-paper-chronicles tag-wedding-stationery" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/save-the-date-scrolls-from-chavelli/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=585%2C585&;ssl=1 585w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/savethedate_scrolls_4.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/save-the-date-scrolls-from-chavelli/">Save-the-Date Scrolls from Chavelli!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2017-04-25T13:16:18+00:00">April 25, 2017</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="17800"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
