wholesale catalog / fall 2015
about constellation & co. Constellation & Co. is a letterpress stationery company and retail shop in Seattle, Washington. We design and print our line of letterpress stationery one at a time in our storefront location. We love inviting the local community in to see the beautiful process of letterpress printing firsthand! Constellation & Co. is owned by me, Sara McNally, and my husband Brad. I write, design and print our line of greeting cards. I also manage the day-to-day business operations and am mom to the cutest printshop baby in the world, Micah. I am assisted by Brooke, a fellow letterpress printer, and an incredible staff of part-time helpers who assist with packaging, fulfillment, bookkeeping, and working in the retail shop. You can drop by any time and say hello to: Chelsa, Meredith, Chuck, Dorothy, Hannah, Holly, Suzi, or Beth! Brad and I met in design school in Florida. We moved to Seattle and got married in 2009. I apprenticed for a year with a local letterpress printer to add letterpress printing to my skills as a graphic designer. Constellation & Co. got its first press and studio location in January 2011 in historic Pioneer Square. We moved into our storefront in the Seattle Fishermen’s Terminal in September 2014. We love our neighborhood of Magnolia, and are honored to be a part of the community here. Every day I open the studio, tie my apron, and get to work. The studio is a special space—it is the fruition of a lot of dreams and hopes and hard work. It’s a place that feels like home. It’s a place infused with heritage. Our storefront studio and retail space is in the Seattle Fisherman’s Terminal, a historic spot that recently celebrated its 100th birthday. I love the wall of windows in our space, inviting people and sunlight in. I love smelling fresh ocean air. But what I love most are the possibilities that this place holds. This is where I do what I love—and every day here is a blessing. We take this blessing seriously. Our work is truly a manifestation of our philosophy: to use ink and paper to connect people. Our equipment is time-tested and well-worn, but we have restored everything with love—from rust and grime back to pristine printing condition. All of our presses are foot or hand powered and completely hand fed. Each sheet of paper goes through the press one at a time, and once through for each color printed. Same goes for type setting and image making. We use traditional wood and lead type and carefully hand set one letter at a time. Many of our pieces feature one of my hand-carved wood engravings. To say this is a labor of love is an understatement—but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

printing All of our products are letterpress printed by hand on our Chandler & Price platen press or our gorgeous 20th Century Reliance iron handpress. Due to the handmade nature of this printing process, slight variations in ink coverage are to be expected and are part of why we all love letterpress!
earth friendly practices Both of our production presses are “human powered,” and operated by hand or foot. If we collected enough candles, we could do a full day of printing without using electricity at all! Our clear sleeves are a sustainable, eco-friendly product. They’re made from plants and are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute. Our cards and envelopes are primarily sourced from Waste Not Paper. Their paper comes from mills that practice responsible, sustainable forestry as certified by objective 3rd parties. Many of their products are created using renewable energy sources, such as hydro power or wind power. Both cards and envelopes are produced without elemental chlorine (PCF), and have recycled content containing at least 30% post-consumer waste. Several of our products are printed on “chipboard,” a 100% post-consumer waste reclaimed paper stock. We clean our presses with reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emission solvents and recycle our ink waste as much as possible. We also re-use or recycle all of our scrap paper, office paper, and shipping supplies.
collaborations We strongly believe that the best part of owning a business is the opportunities it creates to work with other creative people! We love to collaborate with fellow small businesses to create products, experiences and relationships! Our collaborations with Seattle Seed Co. and Treehouse Point have produced beautiful products that neither business could create alone. If you’re interested in collaborating with us on a new product, let us know! We’d love to hear from you.
