Pike St. Press

Used PSP for our save the dates and invites for our upcoming wedding. Brittany did an AMAZING job with design! From the pictures I showed her and the discussions we had, she hit the nail on the head! When I saw her final design it was everything I wanted but didn’t know how to make myself. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Pike St. Press is a shop at the bottom of the Pike Street Hillclimb that sells letterpress cards and stationery. Some of the card designs are made in-​house as you can see a printing area in the back here.
If you are looking for an alternative to the usual American Greetings and Hallmark cards, Pike St. Press is one of the places to check out. They have greeting cards for numerous occasions including baby, thank you and wedding cards. I noticed some of the designs were made by card markers in LA and Portland. The cards here are similar to what you would find at Paper Source in Bellevue.
I visited the shop looking for a baby card. The selection was okay, not great. Some of the cards seemed too plain for my tastes. The cards are a bit pricey too. $ 6 for a card is a bit high. But considering that these cards are made in limited batches, it is understandable. And if you are willing to overlook some imperfections, they do have a box full of irregular cards sold at a discount here.
If you are looking for a special occasion card that stands out from the mainstream fare, check out Pike St. Press to see if they have what you are looking for.

Very helpful service. They helped me create fantastic stationary. My friends have commented it is some of the most beautiful they’ve seen. There was an error with my order – nothing offensive or egregious, just stuff happens – and they worked hard to make everything right. Check them out!

I called Sean two days before I needed my order and not only did he deliver but he did such an amazing job. Oh did I mention my order was 14 custom tank tops with custom coloring and custom design?!! The quality was better then most fashion retail stores and since he has graphic designers on staff the design was unique and perfect for the occasion. He is awesome, his team is awesome and his stores are awesome. I can’t harp enough how pleased I was. Oh and he did my business cards and they are extremely impressive. Once again custom and beautifully designed. I recommend him if you need any type of print done.

Great quality printing on the tank tops he put together for a bachelor party group I was in. I’d recommend this business to anyone.

Used PSP for our save the dates and wedding invites last summer. They were more than perfect and Sean was super helpful in the process. A little pricey but it’s letter press, so duh. Sometimes they weren’t open when they said they should be but I think its just one or two guys who run the joint so I gave them some slack. Loved using them over some big chain crap company.

We ordered our wedding invitations and RSVPs through Pike Street Press. The pricing is steep, but not as high as other letterpress studios, and that’s something we expected. Letterpress isn’t cheap, but it is really beautiful.
Any questions we emailed to them were quickly answered, they provided us with more copies of our invitations than we had ordered, just in case there were any mistakes made when we assembled them ourselves and in case there were any last minute guests to be added to our guest list. They were very helpful in tweaking the design our friend created for us so it would print properly.
The thing we really loved, though, was that Pike Street Press usually melts down and reuses the polymer plate they use to print, but we asked very politely if we could keep ours after they were done printing. We thought it’d be an awesome keepsake beyond just keeping a copy of the invite. They agreed to let us keep the plates and now we have those to frame and hang in our home!
All in all, A+ for great service and great printing at a reasonable price!
Thanks Pike Street Press!

We had our wedding invites done here and we absolutely LOVE them. We even got calls from our guests as soon as they got them about how great they were. Some even went so far as to say they were the best wedding invites they’d seen and they’d «seen a lot». At the beginning of the process we’d had a small little hiccup but they turned it around and knocked the whole experience out of the park. We’re so happy that we chose Pike Street Press for our wedding invites and will definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for a place to have any kind of invite made.

My fiancé and I decided to have a little celebration dinner with friends before we head off to our destination wedding. Like 99% of everything I do, the dinner was a spur of the moment decision, which meant close deadlines and limited options for invite printers. Pike Street Press had the most reasonable prices and fastest turn around time. My fiancé designed the invitations and after a couple quick suggestions and revisions, they were ready in about a week (with a rush fee).
The staff at Pike Street Press were wonderful to work with and I am so impressed with the quality of their product. The invitations were a hit and I received tons of compliments on them. There’s just something about letterpress that screams class.
I highly recommend them for a fun wedding invitation, but they also do business cards, posters, announcements, and much more! If you’re not the creative type, they’ve got designers that will work with you one-​on-​one for a truly personalized project.
Their shop is located below Pike Place Market and is worth a visit even if you don’t currently have any printing needs. They have ready-​made postcards, stationary, and posters that make great gifts.
I can’t wait for my next special event just so I can work with Pike Street Press again!

Great little letterpress shop way below the market. We happened upon this gem as we made our way from the aquarium to the market. I love letterpress … it’s my favorite! Picked up some cute little postcards as a souvenir from our trip. Looked like they offered some impressive options for custom invites, stationary & business cards.

Spotted this place while taking the stairs up toward Pike Market and decided to take a gander. If you love letterpress, this is the place for you! Not only do they have a variety of stationery and other printed matter for sale, it’s an actual working press where you can have custom items printed. I bought a couple of greeting cards and took in the small exhibit they had along one wall. There are a couple of armchairs where you can chill and soak in the printy atmosphere – cute place!

Call me old fashioned or just sensual, but something about pressed textured paper makes me squeal!
I am so in LOVE with my wedding invitations! Sean was GREAT to work with. From the beginning he was very fast at communicating, and helped us through the several revisions we had. The prices are best you’ll find in town, and you will not be jipped on quality. Furthermore, I received my invitations one week after I finalized the final proof.
The only downfall is parking. so ride your bike down there, or give yourself a little time to look for parking. (on the bright side, you can check out pike place market while you are there)
If you want the wow factor in your invitation, business card, or really anything, get LOCAL and get PRESSED!
