Did you know that letterpress printing can be used on other objects besides regular flat paper? One of the more traditional objects that was printed on regularly, other than paper, were square cocktail napkins. People often used to have napkins printed up for special events or parties such as weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversary parties, etc.
I recently got a request to print up some of these napkins for a good friend whose adult son is a sailor. The son and his girlfriend have a sailboat called Santa Magdalena that they travel all over the place on (Caribbean, South America, etc...). The mom thought it would be a really neat gift to get them custom printed cocktail napkins themed after their boat. I thought it was a very cool idea too! You can see a close-up photo of the design for the napkins at the top of this post and a wider shot of them here:
These napkins are regular, square, 3-ply cocktail napkins that you can find at any party supply store. They are ivory colored and feature the stick-drawn sailboat design and the names printed in chocolate brown ink on the diagonal of the napkin. Aren't they cool?
If you would like more information about custom letterpress napkins, feel free to contact me at twinravenspress@gmail.com! I'm sure they would be a hit at your upcoming party or other get-together (or they would be awesome to have on your sailboat!).
