Why Humanity?

If you’re tired of the generic template-restricting options for wedding invitations, the digital UV coating blistering off of a wallet-chapped business card, the stale over-priced stationary from online publishing companies, the fact that your frenemy Jessica has better wedding invitations or business cards than you, or the frustration of working with an automated system with a broken interface— then Humanity Letterpress is the right decision for you!

We specialize in custom design and illustration that outputs through affordable letterpress wedding invitations and business cards. Just because it’s "handmade" doesn't make it good. We guide you through the process to produce exactly what you want and ensure high quality letterpress printing:

Custom Design


Templates are available to give you an idea of the styles you like. Every project is customized to meet the client’s needs and preferences. Humanity Letterpress is a full-service creative studio that takes originality and craftsmanship seriously so that you stand apart from everyone else.

High Quality


Custom designs are printed on Crane Lettra and other handmade cotton-rag papers using a combination of the Chandler & Price 7"x11" and 14"x22" platen printing and foiling presses, and a Glowforge laser engraver capable of cutting paper, wood, and acrylic.

Affordable Letterpress


It’s hard to find a quality designer and letterpress printer who works on your budget. In an effort to make letterpress a feasible option for more people, Humanity Letterpress has a flexible price scale based on a variety of materials and labor options. The answer is always yes.

Small Business


Humanity Letterpress is a printshop and graphic design studio in Seminole Heights Tampa, Florida. When she isn’t teaching at USF, Elizabeth Herrmann loves spending her time behind her two C&P presses. Tedious print production helps keep her off the streets at night.

Memorable


If you’re looking for 80,000 cards for $6, this isn’t for you. Humanity Letterpress produces handmade cards using 100+ year-old presses and a passionate respect for craftsmanship. We make collectable memorabilia designed to resist landfills and bottomless purses.

Accessible


Humanity Letterpress loves to collaborate with clients nationally. Prints are securely packaged and mailed via USPS. Prints are also sold locally at venues like Mezzo Market St. Printersburg, and Indie Flea. We also welcome the opportunity to print for graphic designers in need of a printer!
