A few of our studio capabilities
It's where we spend our days printing perfect little pieces for other goodnatured creatives.
Lickety Split Press offers letterpress printing, embossing, die cutting, and other types of specialty printing for talented designers who agree with us that every detail matters. Gone are the days of fingers-crossed, antsy anxiety at the mailbox to see if your printer “got it right.” We’re a very small studio of real nice people who love working hand-in-hand with you to get it perfect every time. We're known for (over?)communicating and for answering questions you didn't even know you had. Whether it’s wedding stationery, brand collateral, or product packaging, the perfect print matters to you — which means it matters to us.
What We Do
“She is insanely fast, efficient, professional, and quick to impart her letterpress expertise in order to ensure the optimal outcome. Lickety Split is legit!”
“You make me feel like your partner in crime!”
“Emily is amazing! She is courteous, punctual and great to work with. My projects turn out beautifully under her care.”
“Emily was so easy to communicate with, so thorough with my design, and so quick with the turn-around time. The hang tags themselves are GORGEOUS - the paper is thick, the letterpress is stunning, the colors are rich!”
“I designed my own wedding invitations and Emily printed them. Every part of the process felt flawless. She was quick to respond with suggestions and so easy and fun to work with. She even let me send a paper sample to match the ink and it’s exactly what I envisioned!"
“I was so, so pleased with how quickly Emily got back to me and her willingness to make my vision a reality! The initial contact/exchange of ideas was easy and user friendly, the price breakdown clear, and the timeline adhered to. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness Emily puts into her work is obvious to anyone looking at the finished product.”
“From start to finish, Emily made all stress disappear. For every question, she gave a straight-forward response, providing options to fit our budget and honest recommendations on the choices that mattered. In the end, the quality blew us away. Stop searching on those other sites and reach out to Emily ASAP!”
“It was such an easy process and Emily worked so hard to meet the timeline I was hoping for. I received my invitations a few days ago and haven't been able to stop looking at them since. They are perfect in every way! I cannot recommend Lickety Split Press enough.”
Letterpress
It all began with this. We transfer your design to a photopolymer plate, lock it up in our vintage restored press, and hand-mix any ink color you like. Letterpress is known for creating a deep impression you can see and feel.
Die Cutting
If you want a shape that isn’t simply a rectangle, then you need a die cut. Circular coasters, rounded corners, or completely unique shapes — die cutting can add that thoughtfully-designed touch to a custom project.
Foilstamp
Need something truly eye-catching? Foilstamping uses a heated die with foil sheets to create a reflective surface — metallic, glossy, or matte. This premium process can also be used to print lighter elements on dark paper.
We promise to be the most fun you'll ever have with a printer.
Okay, we know, we know — No one really likes having to talk with their printer (if they'll even communicate 1:1 with you in the first place). What if they end up behind schedule, or their pricing is way off from your budget, or they use technical jargon that makes you want to just crawl in a hole?
We are so not those people. Paper isn't rocket science. It's pretty! It's colorful! It oughta be fun, too.
A note from Emily
I’ve been a designer for a long time. I’ve worked with all kinds of print services — online and local, mass and specialty. And honestly, they all kind of stress me out. I’m never sure if I'm gonna get exactly what I envisioned. That’s why I started Lickety Split.
My clients include small business owners, freelance designers, agencies, wedding planners, and creatives of all stripes. And the things they want to print are always so cool — beautiful, individual, telling their story or bringing their brand to life. And printing is often the last step in the process, after the Pinterest boards are made and the bow’s tied around the brand styleguide.
So what do I get to do? Help you finish strong. Help you take that vision in your head and put it in your hands. Help you have fun with print — whether that’s for your one-and-only Big Day, or as a trusted long-term partner for your creative business. It’s my job, and my joy.
