Hot Foil Stamping & Letterpress Printing by The Gilded Press

Your Design. Printed Properly.

Based in Eastbourne. Working with designers, makers and small businesses across the UK who want to turn something on a screen into something real.

From Design to Print

You bring the idea. I'll help you work out the paper, foil, materials and production.

  • 1. Send me your design

    Finished artwork, half an idea, or something you've been told can't be done. Tell me what you're trying to do.

  • 2. I'll check it

    Artwork that looks perfect on screen doesn't always behave on press. I check it, fix anything that needs fixing, then print it.

  • 3. Then I print it

    The person you discuss the piece with is the one who stands at the press printing it. That person is me.

On the Press

One pressroom. Nearly four decades of making ink, foil and paper behave themselves.

Three things I make.

You can see it. And you can feel it.

Hot foil stamping is physical. It is heat, pressure and a metal die.

It becomes part of the object rather than just sitting on the surface.

I use vintage heavy iron machinery to do it, not for nostalgia, but because it does the job properly.

Don’t Take My Word for It.

See and feel it for yourself.

Industrial Luxury Box No. 4

A small box of hand-pressed specimens showing what I actually do.

Foil. Paper. Board. Impression.

Hold them. Turn them in the light. Run your finger over them.

Then decide whether this is the sort of print you want carrying your design.

No sales funnel hiding behind it.
No avalanche of emails afterwards.

Just paper, foil and heavy iron through your letterbox.
