We've grown to print letterpress cards designed both by Tess and a handful of other designers.
We work with Fugu Fugu Press, Ashkahn, Hello!Lucky, Suzy Ultman, Bobbie Goods, and Phoebe Wahl to bring you a rich variety of styles for all occasions.
Hi there, we're Egg Press. It's nice to meet you! We are a letterpress greeting card company, founded and owned by designer Tess Darrow. We've been making our signature cheeky and thoughtful greeting cards in our Portland, Oregon studio since 1999.
Each and every card is letterpress printed on our fleet of mid-century Heidelberg windmill presses. Each color you see on our cards is a hand-mixed ink, run through the press, one at a time.
Our two printers, Jon and Bruce, bring a collective 30+ years of printmaking experience to the table.
We're proud to work with hundreds of retailers across the globe, both large and small, to bring customers joyful and thoughtful moments of discovery.
Plastic-free packaging
Paper or plastic? We're thrilled to offer two packaging options to our retailers: A traditional protective sleeve, and our proprietary "paper tab" packaging. The paper tab holds each card and envelope together without adhesive or plastics. Every card is available both ways – the choice is yours!
