LETTERPRESS PRINTING

Letterpress printing is at the heart of Lost Heritage. We feel it is simply the best way to get an impression on paper and feel very passionate about that.

Letterpress is one of the oldest forms of printing in existence. The original form was to set type into press press, ink it and press paper against it to form an impression. Letterpress printing has evolved now so that photopolymer plates can be used instead of type. At Lost Heritage we use both methods.

We print from supplied digital artwork from our customers which make the possibilities of letterpress printing endless. We also house a large number of traditional letterpress type in our studio including Gill sans, Times Roman, Garamond and Univers in a variety of different sizes.

Please contact us if you feel the embossed and tactile feel of letterpress will enhance your project.

DIGITAL PRINTING

At lost Heritage we also offer a digital printing service using our high format printer which can be used to enhance our letterpress printing services or be used as a service individually. Digital printing is the process of transferring an image or document onto printing media such as paper or card. It is ideal for short turn around jobs, on demand printing and best used for projects with high amounts of detail.

ENGRAVING

LASER ENGRAVING                                                                                 Laser engraving essentially uses lasers to engrave or mark an object. It is the clearest and most precise way of marking items. We offer this service at Lost Heritage and can engraving on a wide selection of materials. This service can be used in conjunction with our many other services to gain the most from your project.
CNC ENGRAVING                                                                                         The definition of engraving is the act or art of cutting designs, inscriptions etc on any hard surface. We offer this facility using our CNC (computer numerical control) machine. We offer a wide selection of engraving on almost any material required. The computer can convert any design so just send us over the files and we can do the rest.

CUTTING

DIE CUTTING                                                   Diecutting is a method for cutting or punching out special shapes by using a metal form known as a die. Die cutting is a service that we offer which can be used individually or combined with our other services. In conjunction with our printing services we can offer a product that is unique and individual to our customers. So if you are an independent store, pub, bar, cafe, deli etc that can benefit from our die cutting service and want a truly unique product get in touch

CNC CUTTING                                                 CNC is also known as Computer Numerical control. The computer converts a design which is highly automated using CAD or CAM programmes. The program then produces a file which is loaded on to the CNC for production. Materials we can work with include wood, plastic, aluminium and many more - just enquire. Our standards are extremely high and we can cut any design needed. This service can be used individually or for an even better standard combined with our other services
LASER CUTTING                                               Laser cutting uses a laser to cut materials. It directs the output of high power laser by computer, leaving a high quality surface finish. Laser cutting is also offered as part of our cutting services. Whether you require a small cut or a finished product we can offer the service to complete this. Just send us over the files and let us know your job specifications and we can complete the finished article.
