ABOUT
Thank you for your interest in stationery by Porchlight Press! Our products are available across the US and Canada and various countries around the world. Porchlight Press is a letterpress printing shop and design studio located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The sky is the limit to what we’ll make as long as it fits in our press!
When you first enter our print shop, upon first glance it resembles a museum of beautiful old machinery from yesteryear. Looking around a little further, the space unfolds into a mix of old and modern tools working together to create a vast variety of quality paper goods. Our well oiled studio is a bustling creative space producing our own cards and prints, along with an array of custom printing and design work ranging from business cards, personal stationery and brand development, to wedding and event invitations, distinctive packaging and tags.
THE TEAM
Owner and founder Heather Braun created Porchlight Press out of a love of making. A lifelong interest in design and its physical manifestations led to the wonderfully tactile world of letterpress printing. Heather incubated her passion for letterpress over a number of years, working in various design fields including communication and urban design. Since the studio launched in 2012, Porchlight Press has continued to grow within the local community and abroad to become a ‘go to’ for anyone looking for high quality printed work.
Over the last few years, Porchlight Press has
grown into a small team of creative and crafty individuals that have great fun spending their days pushing the traditional boundary of letterpress printing. With over 50 years of collective creative and technical experience, we are always striving to see what new things we can create with our ‘herd’ of presses. Our in-house fleet include our trusty Vandercook proofing presses, our Heidelberg windmills, and acclaimed graphic and type designer Jim Rimmer’s 1907 Colt’s Press, offering a range of printing options. We also provide related services, such as hot foil stamping, coloured edging, diecutting, paper drilling, stitching and other bindery finishing. We love being part of a community, both clients and colleagues alike, that is committed to the preservation and celebration of these old letterpress machines.
