We began SWEET letterpress & design in 2007 with a mission to help preserve thoughtful correspondence and have been making letterpress invitations, greeting & note cards and gifts ever since. Our paper goods are carefully crafted in Boulder, Colorado using only high quality, eco friendly materials.
Our North Boulder studio is home to a 1893 Chandler & Price Old Style (stylishly painted red and black) and a Heidelberg Windmill from 1956. With concrete floors, high ceilings, lots of white paint, and, of course, antique presses, it's a great blend of industrial chunk and modern chic. We love it here and we hope you'll visit soon.

Letterpress is a relief printing technique in which a raised plate is inked and then pressed into the paper for a deep tactile impression. We print our invitations one at a time on an antique press, feeding each piece of paper through the press for every color applied. We also mix our ink colors by hand.
Our invitations arrived today and they are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for your patience with me. I really appreciate all of your guidance throughout the whole process. The outcome has been so so worth it and we are so excited to get them in the post and start inviting everyone. Thanks a million.
While we are primarily a design studio, we do occasionally provide letterpress printing for other creative folks. We have collaborated with many designers to bring projects to life in a way that effectively maximizes the beauty of letterpress. You'll find our business card pricing here and our wedding invitation pricing here.
We just love getting out of the studio and meeting fellow lovers of all things local and handmade. Proceeds benefit the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District. Dry Dock Brewing Co. 15120 E Hampden Ave. The Denver Mart. 451 E 58th Ave. 1951 Colorado Ave. We hope to see you in at least one of these places, and we hope you have an amazing holiday season!

Beautiful products and work, but awful customer service. Matthew grabbed my hand and reprimanded me for trying to take an photo of his product to promote his business on social media. I apologized and mentioned that I didn’t see a sign saying I couldn’t take a photo. Matthew started a fight with me at the event in public and said that I should know better than to take a photo of someone’s art without asking. Humiliated, I kindly recommended that he put up a sign up. He told me that I should have the decency to ask before taking a photo. I am truly appalled by Matthew’s approach to customer

Sweet letterpress is my favorite place to pick up greeting cards. There's a sentiment for everyone and all who receive one in the mail truly appreciate them. I have found the perfect cards for support, love, laughter, just because...anything! My daughter picked up a few prints and cards to hang on her wall she loved the designs and messages so much. Mathew is terrific and his work is unique and wonderful and I love supporting such a creative small business. We will return often for more Sweet letterpress work to share with friends and family.
