Hyperquake project

The guys from Hyperquake are celebrating 10 years in business and we're looking for something unique to send clients over the holidays. Initially they were thinking 2 color letterpress but after a couple of revisions they changed the design to 1 color letterpress + embossing. We feel their design was perfect for the process and came out amazing, they seemed to feel the same way.


this pic really shows the embossing detail


Hardly a week after we finished and shipped these they we're already receiving amazing feedback on blogs, here is the link for one in the UK.

1 pms color + die cut

Showcasing the thick 60 point blotter paper

Packaged and ready to ship


David Traina from Traina Design has brought DeFrance some unique projects over the years and this holiday season it was coasters. The coasters were a promo piece for a New Years party featuring Windows Embedded. Utilizing letterpress allowed us to hit the image hard into the sheet provding a nice tactile finish, while maintaining good ink coverage.
Details- The piece was produced on 60 point Blotter paper with 1 pms color then die cut to finished size of 4" square.

If you are interested in learning more about this project or want to place an order for you own coasters please call or email today.
