Egg Press

Since Egg Press has been creating original, inspiring, handcrafted letterpress greeting cards and lifestyle products that connect and enrich people’s lives. As one of the few pioneers driving the resurgence of letterpress printing as an art form, we’ve established our leadership position within the industry as well as within the hand craft movement. Through this process we have cultivated an incredible fan base – who we adore. At Egg Press we are constantly exploring and experimenting – designing what we love to communicate with greater expression through color, pattern, form and wit. Tess Darrow started Egg Press in Portland, Oregon as an outlet to combine her passion for graphic design with her degree in textile design from the University of Washington, where she began letterpress printing. In she left her product and brand design career at Nike to devote herself fully to building Egg Press. Our name and reputation for innovative letterpress greeting card design quickly spread, drawing business, along with an enthusiastic clutch of similarly talented and passionate designers, printers, operations and business specialists who make Egg Press the fun and dynamic, creative force it is today. In addition to our consumer products business, Egg Press works on specialized communications projects and custom printing for individuals and businesses - from multi-national companies like Herman Miller, MoMA, Nike, Adidas, and Apple to local design-oriented companies like Ace Hotel and Schoolhouse Electric to boutique wedding designers. Egg Press' team is adept at maintaining our creative entrepreneurial spirit while understanding the product creation timelines of companies of all shapes and sizes.
