NICE TO MEET YOU!
Salt & Paper Press is a letterpress and design studio based in Greenville, South Carolina, built out of a love of paper goods and cottony textures. We print letterpress greeting cards, letterpress save the dates and wedding invitations, letterpress business cards and a whole lot more. We are passionate about what we do, and will bring that passion to your project, whether you need a small card printed or full design services.
Already have a design in mind? We can make it come to life. Have a design and just need printing? No problem! Maybe you’ve got several ideas and need a little guidance? You can be sure that we’ll help you make a good impression.
Elyssa [eh-liss-ah]
Owner, printer, designer. Since my first print-shop job in 2013, I have loved letterpress printing and designing for letterpress. The tactile nature, working with my hands, being on my feet instead of sitting at a desk - it’s the best. Opening my own small letterpress studio is truly a dream come true. I love the ability to create custom designs for all sorts of projects. It took a lot of hard work to get here, and I am so happy to have settled in Greenville, South Carolina.
Cash + Elsa
My lovely shop dogs. Cash is 12, an Aussie-Chow mix, and very sassy. Elsa is 10, an Aussie-Golden mix, and very timid. Both dogs are rescues that my husband and I have had since they were 8 weeks old. I love being able to share my studio space with them, even though they’re not much help when it comes to letterpress printing.
The Press
Our workhorse, Ophelia. She’s a Vandercook Universal I printing press that was originally purchased by a company in Denver, straight from Vandercook & Sons, in 1963.
Over time, she found her way to Brooklyn, New York, where she was completely refurbished by the The Arm and subsequently delivered to our South Carolina studio.
The Studio
Located in West Greenville, I work out of an adorable studio in the backyard of my house. It houses my press, paper cutter, inks, a bunch of plants, and a killer Ikea speaker.
