Hot Foil Proofing & Sample Service in East Sussex.

The First Pull.

Before you order anything, you should feel it.

For designers, makers who want to see and feel the real thing before they commit.

The Proofing/ Sample Service

We print a small piece using the same materials and processes as a finished run.
Not a pack pulled from a shelf.
A piece made on the press.
Some designers keep them.
Some pin them above their desk.
Some come back months later and say, “That was the one.”

The Proof

You see how the light moves.

You feel how deep the foil sits.
You hear how the board responds when you tap it on the desk.

This is how you know if something is right.

Simple Process. Serious Craft

  • We talk.

  • We refine.

  • We press.
