Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Old North State Press is dedicated to preserving the tradition and craft of fine letterpress printing. We started our journey with the acquisition of a simple cylinder press over 20 years ago. The studio now boasts an impressive array of heavy, outdated machines and equally obsolete related equipment, all meticulously maintained and loved. In addition to supporting custom client work where the unique characteristics of letterpress printing is desired, we produce original designs for stationery, note cards, wedding invitations, birth announcements, broadsides and other printed matter. Above all, we most enjoy collaborating with our clients and other designers to make beautiful things.
