A small sampling of our design expertise and excellence in manufacturing fine paper and lifestyle goods.
In-house creative team
We do it all. Our award-winning creative team comes from a variety of backgrounds, giving us the ability to create original artwork, concept new products and develop functional and beautiful packaging solutions that are sure to meet any of your needs. We never settle for ordinary and you shouldn’t either. Everything we make is crafted with care and we always sweat the small stuff. We promise to always deliver thoughtfully designed products that leave an impression.
Letterpress printing
Elūm is the gold standard in letterpress printing. We’re proud to be one of the largest letterpress print shops in the USA. We use the finest print-making paper, mix custom inks, edge-paint by hand and add a finishing touch with shimmering hot foil-stamping. We wake up every morning excited to run our fingers over a batch of 100% cotton rag paper fresh off the press. Our pressmen have over 90 years of combined experience and have printed over a million letterpress cards.
Overseas manufacturing
We have sky-is-the-limit manufacturing capabilities. If you can dream it, we can make it. We have meticulously chosen our overseas partners to ensure you get high quality materials at the best possible prices. We foster strong relationships and open lines of communication between our team and our vendors. If for any reason our current partners are unable to meet your needs, we are capable of sourcing factories that can deliver exactly what you’re looking for.
Elūm was founded on high quality letterpress printing and we still stay true to our roots today. Our award winning letterpress products are custom designed and expertly hand-crafted on vintage letterpress machines at Elūm in San Diego, California.
